Hi all,

Well as I know many off you are aware Model Rail Scotland is just days away where Ben and Mike of Revolution Trains have again been very kind and offered to host me at the show.

So I shall be on the Revolution Trains stand A-19 all weekend where I will be more than happy to have a chat to any of you there, I may also be sober (seems I have built up a reputation for liking a drink!)

Hi Gareth,

Will you have the latest sample? Has that one been approved for production now?

Cheers

Ben A.

acko22 · February 21, 2017, 11:03:44 PM

That's a good point Ben,

I will have the second sample there and the models are well production began 2 days ago, so expected into the UK in early April, just have to hope that customs don't want to get overly personal with the iso and take an ago to go through it!

Hi everyone,

Firstly an apology that I haven't been on here since well Glasgow this gs in the day job have got hectic as of late and we'll very shortly they are about to go into over drive seeing me well dissappear for a few months unfortunately this means the project will have to take a back step.

OK back to the positives well the Dapol are sorting the models but they missed the ship so we are looking at air freight ingredients them possibly, to have them here ASAP before I go and do the day job overseas.

However should the costs be to excessive as I see it then they will be shipped as normal and a very kind Revilution Trains has offered to assist with getting them out in my absence, which isn't ideal and we'll in my view the exact opposite of what I wanted as well my hair bribed project my responsibility.

Finally before I go back to doing army type things is for those that I managed to chat to at Glasgow it was a pleasure, and I was sober!!!! Which some people seem to think I can't be on a normal daily basis!!

Autocorrect on steroids, or evidence of the drink?

In seriousness, thanks for the update Gareth. I hope they do arrive before your Det - you deserve every ounce of such under the spotlight moments.

Hi all,

Well as promised although a little delays (well they are trains after all) here are the pictures of the production model of Freightliner Class 66418 "PATRIOT - IN MEMORY OF FALLEN RAILWAY EMPLOYEES"

The models are on their way and I hope to have them in time for York this weekend where as long as they are here they will be on sale on the day while at the same time they will be getting packaged and post for all of those of you that have pre-ordered one from the website.

I am as every very kindly been host by the good gents of Revolution trains, so please come and feel free to have a chat I will be more than willing to oblige.

Gareth

alibuchan · April 12, 2017, 08:13:54 PM

Looking very good Gareth. You've done a cracking job.

Might try and make it up to York, but will have to see if I can get up for the 0620 train!

rusticged · April 12, 2017, 09:08:03 PM

Hi Gareth
The model looks great!
I will be at the York Show on Saturday. Will it be possible to collect the model I paid for on the website, or will that create organisational problems?
Looking forward to seeing you again at York.

dannyboy · April 12, 2017, 09:15:30 PM

That model looks good Gareth - can't wait for mine to arrive.

Tank · April 12, 2017, 09:18:00 PM

Well done Gareth and all involved.

I love the design on the box.
