Hi Gang,

After chatting with Mike and Ben very briefly at Leamington, I'm satisfied that I can wait for the 'behind the scenes' chat to be finalised so that the announcement, when it goes public...is full of confirmation and certainty....with none of the 'what ifs' and bluster of some other traders.

Revolution are to be commended for delaying an announcement till tangible evidence of their product is delivered...although 10 production run tankers and a couple of Pendolinos on the test track convinced me that their products are not just CADs or ideas plucked from the ether.

I think I know what it is.....but I'm happy to wait for my info delivered with the TEAs.....

Later...

Damn you! I was thinking the same thing but well £1000 then that would pay for a good few models!!
Mechanical issues can be solved with a hammer and electrical problems can be solved with a screw driver. Beyond that it's verbal abuse which makes trains work!!

Give us a clue - so, how many wheels does it have?

Given that those who have purchased a TEA get "first dibs" on the news, will newsletter subscribers find out soon after ?
I didn't orde any TEA's as they were "out of era" for me !   :doh:

Aha, is this a clue? What would go together with TEA tankers? Why yes, a kettle  :D

I'll get my coat (while hoping for something AC electrickery).

N gauge don't do AC control, it's either DC or DCC. Hope that doesn't disappoint too much.  :smiley-laughing:

Sorry I'll stop now!

Hello all,

Firstly, we did not want to announce anything else until we had actually delivered some product, even though we have been planning this model for some time.

But the idea of sending out a leaflet/invitation to back our next project with the TEA tankers came about because we wanted to say "thanks" to those who'd backed what will be our first N gauge model to actually reach people and also because we were taken with the overwhelmingly positive response among those who saw them last weekend.

It dawned on Mike and me that, in a world of online wish lists, speculation and promises, actually having the tankers delivered will be a better and more credible sales pitch than anything we could do or say on the web or in print.

Once we have sent out the tankers - and know customers are receiving them - we will send out a newsletter to all our subscribers explaining what we are doing and why.

Cheers

Ben A.

Who'd have thought that N Gauge could be this exciting? And all down to Revolution Trains!
