Yesterday we had a very enjoyable day out at Cheshire Outdoors at Blakemere Village with Making Tracks 3. Our thanks to Pete Waterman, Chris Clenton, and the Railnuts team for allowing us to give our production models of 56019 and 56081 a run out on Milton Keynes, they looked right at home on the layout!
We would like to wish all of our customers and followers a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
2023 has been a busy year for Cavalex and we would like to thank everyone that has supported us over the past year. We are looking forward to 2024 in which we will see the arrival of our Class 56 and the development of numerous projects, both announced and unannounced.
Merry Christmas!
A quick update on the Class 56 project, we are very excited to advise that the models are currently enroute to the UK and are due into port mid-January. Following customs clearance and internal QC, delivery to retailers will happen in due course.
A big thank you to DCRail for hosting us this week to compare our painted sample of 56091 with the real thing!
Come and visit our stand (stand number C55) at the Warley exhibition this weekend to see the production Class 56 models.
We’re excited to share that production Class 56 models have arrived with us for final sign off before the full batch are shipped to the UK. All production models and bodyshells will be available to view on our stand at the Warley Exhibition this coming weekend. Delivery of the Class 56 is anticipated early next year, subject to shipping and QC times.
Thanks to Peter Mantle at Llanbourne in Australia for allowing us to run 56008 on his superb layout!
