N Gauge Discussion / Re: RevolutioN trains apprecia...
Last post by njee20 - October 02, 2026, 07:10:22 PM
A 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.

Quote 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?

Same here. Not a band I am at all familiar with.

It won't make any playlists of mine but very listenable.

Thank you for sharing.

Not 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.
