Revolution help raise the roof for Martin House Children’s Hospice

With your support, we are delighted to reveal that sales of our ‘Drax collection’ of N gauge models have raised a fantastic £13,000 for Martin House Children’s Hospice. Martin House provides family-led hospice care free of charge for children and young people with life-shortening conditions.

We are also pleased to announce that due to a recent matched fundraising event that the £13,000 donation is being doubled and is worth £26,000 to Martin House. We presented the team at Martin House Children’s Hospice with our donation at an event at York station on 23 October 2025 as part of the wider rail industry’s efforts on behalf of Martin House (which to date has raised well over £350,000).

Over the last 12 months, with our friends at Drax, we have produced N gauge models of GBRf’s 66301 ‘Drax Power Station 50’ in Drax gold 50 livery and DB’s 66190 ‘Martin House Children’s Hospice’ in ex-works condition DB red as well as Drax’s gold IIA-D biomass wagon. Thanks to the generosity of our customers the money raised will go towards the vital work of Martin House Children’s Hospice.

Ben and Mike were delighted to be invited by Drax to attend Martin House’s prestigious annual fundraising ‘Glitterball’ event near Harrogate.

66301 and the gold IIA-D biomass wagon are both sold out and stock of 66190 is starting to run low – if you would like a model before we sell out please don’t delay!

Thanks again, everyone!
