Excellent pricing structure (I must have saved a King's ransom in early bird prices over the years)

BUT

I (and I'm sure I'm not alone) am getting seriously ticked off (being polite for the forum) at the lack of response coming out of the Revolution website contact page. I really can't see the point of having such a page if no one looks at it and responds. Maybe it should carry a warning "Abandon Hope all ye who enter here"

I'm positive the staff at Revolution would soon be up in arms if they were treated as badly. I'd put their communications on a par with Osborn's Models (believe me – that's no compliment)

Please – you're letting yourselves down as regards service. Please sort it
:hellosign:  :searchingsign:
  Mick, I agree, the models are superb & they don't come much worse than Osborn's models but where is this contact page ?
  :beers: stay safe regards Derek

Not the point. How do non forum members fare?

Quote from: Bealman on May 23, 2026, 01:51:27 AMYour last paragraph is so true. The first copy of Railway Modeller I ever got was April 1957. There were concerns about youngsters back then, and it has been a recurring theme in the magazine ever since.

Personally, I think it's a non-issue.


This point as raised by the market report isn't that there aren't enough young people entering the hobby, it's that the young people entering the hobby engage differently with it than older generations and have different demands, some of which aren't currently being met, and that's an interesting opportunity for manufacturers.

"Young people aren't interested in model railways" is not supported by the data and is as you say, not an issue - hence the title of this thread.

Just had a brainwave, how about the spares supplied by Revolution/Rapido in the Pendolino packs.

It is a perfect fit, I suppose the other one will turn up now.
