Update May 2021: Revolution Trains has reluctantly cancelled its plans to produce a model of the experimental APT-E in N gauge.
Revolution had high hopes that we’d be able to offer an N gauge version of the wonderful APT-E but it’s more than three years since we suggested the idea and expressions of interest have only reached 75% of our target.
To give our supporters a sense of certainty and clarity we feel it is only fair that we make a clear decision to step aside from this project, in the hope that another, better-placed manufacturer can come forward.
We share the disappointment of those who’d pledged for an APT-E and we still believe the APT-E can be a viable model in N and are optimistic that it will be produced by an alternative manufacturer in the not too distant future.”
While Revolution Trains had opened expressions of interest for the APT-E, no money was taken as pledges never reached the threshold for the project to be formally launched.
