I'm all for expressing appreciation 

Things that I think RevolutioN does really well...

Communication with its audience and customers (forums, newsletter, presence at shows, spontaneous videos at shows, the Jeremy Vine show etc).

Quality products - not all within my modelling areas of interest (as I would expect) but in general we expect and receive high quality products that satisfy a large number of modellers (for myself the class 128 DPU and LT 1938 D Stock were very well received).

Areas for improvement - I know that the business model may not support this in the same way that it does for Bachmann and possibly others but shorter time to market after announcement would be a welcome improvement. e.g. Class 313s 6/7 years, Class 120s currently at 4 years with no samples.

But overall very appreciative of the output from RevolutioN.

Flu jab due this morning was cancelled an hour before the time. Guess someone at the pharmacy didn't turn up for work this morning, maybe due to being ill with the flu

That I didn't realise. That's very interesting, and would definitely give me more conifdence in trying the train elevator.

Proses are part of Bachmann.

Actually there were two large Rainbow Lorikeets going for the crumbs we'd dropped!

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!

Happy birthday to her whatever her name is
