Revolution Trains new models and reruns.

[Caz]

In case you haven't noticed the new banner, Revolution are announcing 5 new models and reruns on Saturday exclusively on the N Gauge Fourm at 0900 hrs.

Wonder what they are?

Woo, Froth boilers to max Scotty ...! 

Well to TINGS you must come, £10.50  on the door , free carpark lovely restaurant, al that is good and even better in N gauge, Bob Tilbury thrown in for free stand 44 and Mike&Ben stand 16 for starters!!

Probably a grumpy queue welcome host !! to put up with and the chance to spend, spend and learn about new models from  Ben and others around the hall.

see you there
Robert

I guess we will see some great new modern image and perhaps a long life loco from Revolution

Exciting news, I'm guessing that one of the reruns may let us all have another cup of TEA perhaps.

New models... hmmm, didn't they venture into OO with the TEAs as well? In that case, as they already have the tooling and have started thinking outside the "N"velope*, it's obviously going to be a Gauge 1 11-car Pendolino. An easy scale-up job with loads of sales potential.

I'd still like an APT-E though.

* - I've just thought of that which I think is quite a clever little play on words and letters, and am copyrighting it. So hands off.

Hi all,

Everything we are offering this weekend is N.

But as ever, with two exceptions where we will have painted samples of all new models, these are just being offered up as suggestions and will only happen if enough people step forward and decide to order.

If the market does not speak, we cannot listen!

Cheers

Ben A.

The new motorised one has me completely stumped.

This and the other 4 models have wallet on defcon 2.

I think we can discount steam or modernisation plan or pre-grouping diesels.

What's left. Anything Electric beginning with 8x, apart from the 86. A Cl90, or perhaps an IEP to provide the Pendo with some competition!

Regards,

I'm hanging my coat on a peg marked Class 28. (I'd like it to be Falcon, but I don't see it.)

I think I read elsewhere that it would be a transition-era powered model? I may have that wrong, however because I can't find it now.

I read that too, also can't remember where now.

Class 28 would be rule 1 for me, but I do like the prototype.

Having said all that, powered model doesn't have to mean locomotive. It could be a unit.

I am away this weekend, but I'll be glued to my phone with excitement at the announcement!!

Have a great TINGS one and all

That's a valid point, and something like a Class 313 AC/DC EMU or a Class 117 DMU would surely be useful models.

The only really obvious gaps are the 'Peak' diesels and the Class 87, 90, and 91 electrics, but these are old Farish models with some probability of being updated in the medium term. Some of those electric locos didn't sell particularly well either, if their persistence on the 'bargain shelf' in many shops is any indication.

It really has to be a unit then, if Revolution wanted to do something completely new, and the money seems to be on contemporary units, which might rule out the first generation DMUs. My money would be on some sort of modern image EMU, much as I'd love to see a class 76 loco or Metropolitan Railway Bo-Bo!

Cheers, NeMo

Think about the poor Admin who has to be up at 8am to put all of the threads and pictures together!!!!
