Looking forward to quite a few Revolution parcels! Dave That is true but Q1 takes us up to the end of March 2022. From now that is nearly 5 months. Obviously a lot depends on things continuing to improve in China (both in Covid restrictions and power supplies) but I am still optimistic that many, if not perhaps all, will make it in the time frame. cheers Ben A. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to post on this thread earlier but couldn't find it! I'd be interested in knowing if there was any commonality (and so increasing the chances of it getting done). 93 is Bo-Bo and 99 is Co-Co so I would assume not.

Lots of similarities, but as you say too many minor and major differences. I'd be up for a couple though 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What caught my eye was Adif’s new Stadler “UK light” locomotives, a new fleet of 22 being built. Whilst having a Stadler spec cab, its basically a class 68, but interestingly owner apparently went for UK spec, not Euro Spec, with narrowed-in panels below the bodyside, no incorporated front steps as per UK loading gauge, lowered height with angled roof sides. They do have oversized EU spec buffers (which protrude the body width a little). I wonder if they have other plans than 22 “rescue” engines at a 100mn Euro investment… incase you want to see the difference between UKLight and EuroLight spec, heres one of each here…. https://images.app.goo.gl/k1Rh1ey9MpSTiZPw7 (Difference is about a ft in height, angle of body sides to roof, and below bodysides (ie bogies) are narrower). and the article.. https://railcolornews.com/2022/01/17/es-expert-first-rescue-locomotive-for-adif-out/ Edited July 30, 2022 by adb968008 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted May 5, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2022 Hello all, As others have already spotted, we thought we would show progress on the forthcoming 00 Class 93. Obviously, as the real things are still under construction, these CAD drawings are subject to change and as yet they do not include the pantograph. They were produced from the actual CAD, kindly shared by Stadler, but as we know from past experience it is quite possible that modifications could be made during development. Having said that, the Class 68s and 88s, and their enormous experience of providing traction in Europe and further afield, suggest that Stadler have a good idea of what is likely to work! There will probably be a bit of a hiatus now until we can finalise the CAD and begin tooling, which won't be until testing is well underway and we can be confident there won't be any major changes. We won't be opening the order book until much nearer that time. cheers Ben A. 5 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been under construction for awhile now - it's only recently that pics have broken cover. Waits for the inevitable "Any news on the model?" question. Not from me, as a 93 is currently outside my modelling requirements. Sorry Mike and Ben. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted July 27, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 27, 2022 ROG posted a few pictures from their recent visit to Valencia. We're planning a trip out there in 2-3 months to look at some of the locos in a complete (hopefully!) state. Cheers Mike 3 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a picture on ROG’s newsletter of a 93 in shades of green; rather different from the illustration on Revolution’s website.

Hello there, I suspect they are just different renders of the same basic artwork; of course once we see the real thing we will know for sure! Generating painting diagrams for the models is some way off in the production cycle. cheers Ben A. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took another look and I suspect that the two renders are similar but one is much lighter than the other. It’s terrific that you have managed to corner the very latest loco on the system from under the noses of other manufacturers. Well done! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I have no use for a 93, but they do look nice from the renders/cad i've seen. The 68s have proven rather popular with modellers and the 88 is probably likely to be in demand also I expect, but possibly still too few in the class and liveries for now. Best of luck with the 93, I'm sure it'll be excellent. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
