Announced for OO brigade first, but with note at the bottom....
N gauge versions will follow in due course.
Didn't know whether to :claphappy: or :'( as my ' Bank of Revolution' credit card would have self destructed.
Looking forward to the log wagons.

Just tried getting on the Revolution web site, and all I get is either a blank page or a page showing the message "500 Internal Server Error."
@red_death (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=246), @Ben A (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=94), may want to look into this.
cheers

Yes i was the same, took an age to eventually get on, got there in the end.

I assume you mean the IWA timber carriers...? Agreed, very exciting, and yes the website appears to be down presently.
These run in mixed rakes with the KSA offered by the NGS, so a good opportunity to mix up rakes a bit. I really must build my kits! :-[
Would the iwa' s sell
I'd buy some, certainly. The popularity of the KSA as a kit suggests there's a market for bogie timber wagons. They're certainly quite a visually appealing model IMO.
With a bit of luck we'll find out in due course once they do shrink the OO gauge model.

I like vea. On the hunt for the ltsv car carriers, for ford with cover, bda mossend llanwern, chirk timber. Haa coal. Ive got wishlist. We can only hope
Hello all,
EDIT: The thread title has been amended to be a little clearer.
For us the Sfins wagons are a natural progression - long llived and widely used, plus the conversions to timber carriers in 2012 added an additional layer of interest, especially since, as has been pointed out, they run alongside the NGS kit.

Feedback we have had from lots of fellow N gauge enthusiasts is that given there are still HOAs, IPAs, Mk5s and (soon) flowing silk Pendolinos on offer they'd like us to pace our projects.
So while yes, these will be coming in N, we are going to hold fire for a few weeks. But the imminent 00 CADs will give a pretty good idea of what to expect.
cheers
Ben A.
Thank you for the update. Appreciate
Despite my joking to the contrary I think waiting a bit is extremely wise, balances due on KFAs and 92s soon as well too!
Given that I can't get my NGS timber carrier kits to run properly, I'll be in for some of these (but not just yet please).
Regards,
John P

Hopefully a typo Ben and it's meant to read "few months". :D
Would be interested in some of the Cargowaggon and the timber conversions to go with my unfinished Society kits
We're trying to spread things out so that people aren't hit with everything at once, so you will increasingly see that there are announcements in OO that we haven't done in N yet (and vice versa). Where feasible and sensible we'll look to do all the OO items in N in due course.
Cheers Mike
probably a very sensible suggestion mike !
Received a Norsk Hydro set of these wagons and they are absolutely gorgeous - my wife who is not into model railways commented favourably on the side detail of the wagon.
I compared them to the Dapol IWA Ferry wagon and they are markedly very different types. This confused me . Dapol don't call theirs IWAs - this is a description from N Gauge Resource. I noticed the Dapol ones have Habfis on the side which I believe are IWBs so is that the correct TOPS code for the Dapol, or am I just very confused of N gauge!
Congratulations on another beautiful model from Revolution - approved, as I said, by the wife!
The joys of TOPS codes! The three character TOPS code doesn't always give enough detail - there are dozens of PGA Hoppers for example, all to different diagrams.
The Dapol ferry vans are technically IWB - air braked with through vacuum pipes (although Dapol have only fitted these to one end!).
The two types do have different UIC wagon type codes:
Dapol - Habfis
Revolution Sfins
The "f" indicates it's built to UK loading gauge.

Thank you for the nformation. I'll reassign the Dapol wagons to IWB on my database!

Same - Will correct in next release of the N Gauge Resource.
