Underground arrivals: 1938 stock (and collections at the NEC)

Our N gauge 1938 stock underground sets and Isle of Wight Class 483 sets have arrived at Revolution HQ. With Model World Live at the NEC this weekend we will offer customers the opportunity to collect their order at the show, but it is unlikely we will be able to post any orders until next week.

If you would like to collect your order please complete this short form: Order collection – Model World Live / NEC 2026 (please complete it by end of Thursday 23 April 2026 to guarantee that we bring enough stock). Even if you don’t complete the form we will try to bring “spare” stock but we can’t guarantee it!

March forward with new arrivals

We have a considerable quantity of models expected over the next couple of months with many already at sea (and one due to come by air)!

OO gauge/4mm

Borail/Mullet/Parr/Super Tench 60′ engineers wagons have shipped and are expected to arrive in the UK in early March. Update – 19/1/26: all balance invoices generated.

Cartic-4 car carriers have also shipped and are expected shortly after the Borails/Mullets/Parrs/Super Tench in early-mid March. Update – 17/2/26: all balance invoices generated.

KSA ‘Rover Cube” vans and timber carriers – the remade KSAs are largely complete. The timber carrier versions have shipped and are due early March (with the Borails). The vans are in the final stage of production and checking and will ship separately soon.

N gauge/2mm

1938 stock – the much anticipated 38 stock are largely complete with final instructions and packing to be completed before the models are shipped. The 38 stock will be air-freighted so we’re still expecting delivery to the UK in the next few weeks.

Balances: if you paid in full then you don’t need to do anything – we will send out your order(s) when the models arrive. If you paid a deposit we will send you balance invoices for your models starting this week. All the models featured in this update will be invoiced. Please note that sending out all the balance invoices will take some time – please do not chase balance invoices until we have said that they have all been generated. We will update this page with progress of balance invoice generation.

If you are expecting a balance invoice(s) for a model and we state that all invoices have been generated then please check your account on our website if you haven’t received it by email – if you can’t find the balance invoice(s) in your account then please contact us in case we’ve missed it.

We would be grateful if you could pay your balance invoice(s) before the models arrive so that we can get your orders out as quickly as possible.

Please note when you pay a balance invoice the website automatically updates the deposit part of your order to “Complete” and sends you an email saying your order has been despatched – this is an automatic software bug that we can’t change. Your order is actually despatched when we mark the balance part of the order as “Complete” ie despatched.

If you need to change your delivery address please update the shipping address in your account.

Underground seen overground…

Revolution Trains has unveiled decorated samples of its forthcoming 1938 stock trains in London Underground Rail Red and Bus Red colours, and the 2-car Isle of Wight versions in Network Southeast livery.

The models are available in 4-car or 3-car sets, enabling complete 7-car trains to be assembled, in both original Rail red and 1970s bus red liveries with destination boards for both Northern and Bakerloo line services.

In addition to the London Underground versions, Revolution has now received both variants of the Class 483 Isle of Wight two-car trains in Network Southeast and SWT ‘Island Line’ lvieries.

The models are now being assessed and tested, and we anticipate production starting toward the end of the year with delivery anticipated for Q1-2 2025.
