From the outside looking in, the Nelevator issue was that they were essentially a tiny cottage industry, unable, or unwilling to upscale production who produced a remarkeable product that proved more popular than they expected. Operational issues of the device didn't help. Maybe they should have paused production, and deposit taking, & ironed out the issues.
I seem to recall communication with customers wasn't great either.

There is most definitely a market for such a device. Proses are at least an established company who, I'd like to think, has enough nouse, financial stability & manpower to achieve where others have failed.

Sorry George, you can't fool us, VB's under the table!

Fair dinkum. When I first read njee's list I thought the numbers were the model number. Like pendolinos were model number 11.

Then it dawned on me! Doh!

He's got more TEAs than I have in a fortnite.

It feels like there are an awful lot of people waiting for the 120 order book to open, me amongst them!

I can only echo the good words people have said above about Revolution. I've got a selection of Revolution wagons and one of the superb 128 Parcels cars which I am very pleased with.

I've had lots of revolution models cross my weathering desk over the past few years, 66s, 59s, 92s, cartics, sturgeons etc and they have all be amazing runners, and superbly detailed.

I can only say keep up the great work Revolution. I'm so looking forward to the 120 DMUs when they arrive!

Hi roy that's good, thank you & of course, I do agree that not everyone can always agree - it's good and interesting to have a healthy debate - like you say - we don't always have to agree with one another - but always be respectful

Actually that is one major thing I get very anxious about - I try to make my points with always good intentions, but they do not always come across that way - never been good with words and it can be harder on forums as messages can quite easily be taken the wrong way

Thank you for understanding and my apologies to you if my previous message seemed a bit abrupt

@Ben A

No problem, and for what it's worth I do agree with you - you don't always get it perfect - you haven't produced a class 442 yet ? j/k

If you ever in the South or South West doing a show and/or exhibition then would say hello

Can I ask you something actually - Regarding your class 175 units - was there a green gwr version in the pipeline or have I got it mixed up with the gwr electro stars? Obviously if you can't answer the question I completely understand.


@Suffolk Rob

Thanks yes your right I wasn't suggesting anything negative about other manufacturers

Interesting choice on the dapol class 26, and do agree about what you written about merits of a company,  as I'm not saying other companies don't, I'm sure they definitely do, but with revolution trains I get the impression they really care about there models & customer service not just from a business point of view, but from a hobbyist point of view as well

Hello all,

Awww, shucks!

On behalf of all at Revolution, thanks for the very kind words.   

Like forum members, we are enthusiasts and as all of us (except our new designer, Louis) are in our 'second' careers with Revolution our motivators are primarily to make the models *we* would want to buy.

Obviously we don't always get it perfect, and every day is a school day.

But we do have a policy of continuous improvement - for example reducing the weight of the class B tanks - and will continue with that.

And we are always happy to talk to fellow enthusiasts at shows so if there's anything in particular you want to discuss don't be shy - come and say hello!

We will always try to give you a straight answer – even if it isn't always what you want to hear!

Cheers

Ben A.
