I wonder if there are any more exclusives yet to be announced…I’m still hopeful a Dutch or original EW&S example will appear, or some with their superb weathering! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cuthbert 80 Posted June 24 Popular Post Share Posted June 24 (edited) Was lucky enough to speak to Alex in person at the London Festival of Railway Modelling earlier in March of this year. As mentioned to him...I'm not even a big fan of the Class 56 and never cared for it much when growing up lol...however, this model is so damn exquisite...I felt a need to purchase one...if not just to support Cavalex Models. Payed a pretty penny for it recently brand new, well over RRP since most sound fitted models are sold out now but hey...better late than never lol. Here's a shot I took of 093 on my diorama: Edited June 24 by Cuthbert 80 Edit 18 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the insane sound profile and how damn smooth it runs. Please bear in mind that I mostly model in HO scale and I'm used to the absolutely crazy inflated prices from European manufacturers such as Marklin/TRIX, REE Modeles, A.C.M.E....etc who also have highly detailed models, however, almost all of them couldn't even come close to these Class 56's in terms of details and overall presence. All of this fidelity for under £300, sound fitted? This Cavalex 56 is one of the best...if not, the best model I currently own in my collection, period lol. 2 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay crazy....🤪 The other thing that is crazy I'd your camera skills as I had said before the 'appreciation montage'😉 you had produces possible one of the best realistic model photos I've seen with the photo of the 56! In the background did you make trees yourself? As the silver birch specimen is Brill. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't make any of the trees...I'm not half as talented as some of you guys on this forum when it comes to serious modelling...don't have the patience or dexterity lol. The birch tree you mention is from a company called Primo Models...I think they're based up in Scotland. All the rest of the trees are from a Polish company called MBR Model...these guys are incredible and are priced extremely competitively. 👍 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
