They are a new entrant working quite closely with RevolutioN: The upcoming 56xx is another RevolutioN
/Sonic crossover.

I believe the man behind it has worked as a well respected designer of model locomotives for some years now, but can't remember who for I'm afraid!

Hi
Sonic UK designer is Colin Albright  of Farish and Ultimata fame, along with up and coming Chinese  designer Sam. Both will be at TINGS this weekend  Colin with a display of heritage N models from Highfield and the like. Sam is likely to be on the Revolution stand.  It is likely a 56xx sample will be on display.

Sonic have created the VEA and as expected is top notch, price of around £20 for the van shows the current cost of developments and the  56xx is from the Colin stable but with Sam working up the designs to a production model.   

Looks to be a good pairing and worthy of support - Colin has a large historic collection to support along with a family !

Hello all,

For anyone interested I have added more information about Sam - the man behind Sonic Models - on the Revolution news page here: http://www.revolutiontrains.com/news/

And there are videos of the 56XX running on James Street on the Revolution Facebook page.

Cheers

I think Sam's attendance at TINGS (along with that of Mr Kato,) go a long way to answering that perennial question 'Are we over the golden age of N?'. :beers:
