N Gauge Discussion / Re: RevolutioN trains apprecia...Last post by Newportnobby - October 02, 2026, 07:25:02 PMI started all those years ago by ordering a Poppylino (11 coach DCC sound fitted), not because it fitted my DC transition era layouts, but because I wanted to help Revolution succeed in becoming a supplier of N gauge models. Since then I have stuck with them and now have:-
Class 128s Tube stock (3 and 4 car sets) Class A tanks Class B tanks Cemflos Sturgeons BoRails I have 2 packs of K type Pullman coaches on order and will order a class 120, HJO/HJV hoppers and a class 37 when the order books open. I am quite prepared to pay 50% up front to get the benefit of early bird savings but will not pay in full up front. Quality wise I'd say they are slightly better than some offerings from Bachmann and Dapol but they pick their fights very carefully e.g. they have never, and I don't think will ever, offer any steam locos. They know their forte. The only issue I've had, as everyone has, is the class B tanks contain too much weight and it's not easy to open them up to remove some. Having seen Nick's list above I have a paltry amount #42
N Gauge Discussion / Re: RevolutioN trains apprecia...Last post by njee20 - October 02, 2026, 07:10:22 PMA quick check of the stock sheet suggests...
- 11 Pendolinos - 15 92s - 12 66s - 3 59s - 18 TEAs - 13 Drax IIAs - 9 KFAs - 28 IPAs - Caroline - 16 mk5 sleepers - 4 sets of WIAs - 12 IWAs - 6 FWAs More than some, and no doubt less than others! I agree they've definitely moved the dial in N, and their genesis as a couple of enthusiasts crowdfunding a Pendolino, to a company competing with the 'big boys' on mainstream models is very impressive. I've been quite vocal about some of the frustrations generally relating to running qualities, but I think the hobby is immeasurably better for their presence. #43
N Gauge Discussion / Re: RevolutioN trains apprecia...Last post by GWR_XC - October 02, 2026, 06:32:23 PMQuote from: Roy L S on October 02, 2026, 04:04:53 PMSpeaking for myself, I think we should show equal appreciation for all manufacturers who produce our N Gauge models, I wouldn't personally wish to single out just one. And that's absolutely fine, I too like other manufacturers and agree, however I think revolution trains are more unique and in my opinion - I think they are the best thing to happen to N gauge since the original Graham farish Also unless I have this wrong, revolution trains journey so far - going from two enthusiasts of the hobby and built up a company which competes with dapol & Bachmann and offers best in class models is remarkable really Therefore I think the appreciation of revolution trains is fully deserved @njee20 how many do you have? #44

General Discussion / Re: what are you listening to ...Last post by Moonglum - October 02, 2026, 01:30:11 PMNot a band I know @kusojiji , but a quick check on the internet revealed a surprise in that their sax player went on to become a sought after film soundtrack composer namely Howard Shore (Lord of the Rings etc.). I preferred the first song.
