Title: Revolutions Class 128
Post by: N_GaugeModeller on January 17, 2021, 11:23:51 AM
Hi all

Anyone know what happened to Revolutions Class 128, can't find any mention of it on their site, was it cancelled, if not anyone know what stage they are at, did they ever do an expression of interest ?

Thanks

It is listed under 'Projects' but still showing 'Final CAD amendments', which has been there for some time now

Thanks

So it is

I just checked the dropdown list of Projects and it was not on that list, I didn't actually go to the Projects page, so over 2 years and not even done the expression of interest, so looks like it will  be a few years before these hit the market.

Which is good for the bank balance after the flurry of new models in the last few months, give me time to save, for the 128 and the 28 from Rapido, good job Dapol and Farish have nothing new on the near horizon ;)

Not that it's for me to answer on Revolution's behalf but I think if it's approved fairly soon we could still see the model this year (Covid and Chinese New Year apart), and I reckon once approved the order book will open. I'll be placing a couple of orders :D
Like I say, though. Not for me to speak for @Ben A (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=94) and @red_death (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=246)

There is a dedicated thread for it on this forum, here:

I have asked in the past about this previously, and I think to summarise best, when there is any news the Revolution Website will be updated and hopefully Ben or Mike will post here. If I recall correctly last update CADs were nearly there, but with the whole Covid 19 situation everything is simply taking longer..

There won't be an expression of interest stage on the 128 (we only do that for models we are not sure there will be sufficient demand for).

Once we're happy that the revised CAD is ok then it will go back on sale. Tooling shouldn't be too long after that.

All on the Projects page of our website.
