Cavalex Models are delighted to advise that 60022 is available to preorder from our retailers now, with details of the rest of the second run range coming soon.
The RRP of the Cavalex Class 60 second production run will remain at £194.95, with the sound models being £294.95. Expected delivery dates to be confirmed when the second run is formally announced.
Following the success of 56091, 60029, 56103/56045 and 56103, Cavalex Models are incredibly proud to announce the first release for the second run of our Class 60 project – DCRail’s 60022 Ingleborough.
We have worked closely with DCRail for a number of months to help take an idea/concept through to a formal design to be reproduced on 60022.
The livery has been developed from extensive research, consultation, and historical information to allow 60022 to be outshopped in its new MR colours. To link with the history of the Class 60, the locomotive is painted in the style of the only other locomotive of the Class to carry a historic railway livery, no. 60081 ‘Isambard Kingdom Brunel’.
Further information on the project can be found below:
We at Cavalex are vey proud to have been part of this incredible project and grateful to DCRail for the opportunity to play a role in the return to active service of 60022. We have a number of initial samples of 60022, with further tweaks to be made on the production versions.
Further information will be provided in due course regarding our exclusive model of 60022 and other forthcoming releases.
August 2026 is the 50th anniversary of the first Class 56s having arrived in the U.K. for British Rail. It is truly remarkable that these fine machines are still being used today, a testament to the engineering prowess of the past.
The ‘Grid’ will always be a special part of Cavalex history being our first 4mm scale Locomotive - we are looking forward to celebrating the anniversary further over the next few months!
The Cavalex Class 47 project has been progressing well over the past few months as we near the production stage of the process.
We will shortly be commencing production, which will mean the order book will be closing in the coming weeks. As a result we would recommend contacting your Cavalex stockist to pre-order our next locomotive.
Our thanks to Richard Bentley and The Watercress Line for their help recently with access to 47579. A full update on the project will be provided soon.
June the 10th 1986 saw the launch of Network SouthEast – forty years ago today and what better way to mark this anniversary than by showing our forthcoming model of 47710 seen running on Ian Blackall’s excellent Tidworth.
Our thanks to Ian and the team for allowing us to give 47710 a run out at last weekend’s DEMU Showcase exhibition.
We are very excited to show off 3 recently arrived Class 47 painted samples this weekend at DEMU Showcase.
If you are attending the show over the weekend please visit our stand to see the samples in person!
Please note there are a few small tooling changes still to be made ahead of the pre-production samples.
