From day 1 we have set out to innovate and push forward the RTR models we are producing. Not only with innovations never seen before on our BBA/PGA wagons, we want to raise the bar on factory weathering. Whilst it has taken longer than we would have liked to achieve the finish, we are really happy to showcase the weathered TEA and KBA pre production samples. Produced by multiple layers of tampo printing, using slightly different colours and tones; we feel we have achieved an authentic weathered finish.

We’re looking forward to showing off more photos next week - as well as the Total grey TEAs

What do all of these Cavalex products have in common?

Cavalex Models are pleased to announce that we have achieved our target for pre-orders and delighted to let you know that our PHA/JGA wagon project has now moved forward to the tooling stage.

The tooling stage is estimated to take approximately 3 months to complete subject to changes. We would expect to have the first samples from the moulds within a month of the tooling having been finished.

We have emailed all our customers that have pre-ordered the PHA/JGA - if you have submitted a pre-order but haven’t received an email from us please get in touch.

May we take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support.

Keep a look out for our PHA/JGA project update coming soon.

We are excited to show off a first glimpse of our decorated HAA samples, with more to follow in the coming days. However we are pleased to tease with a quick snap of it's features including, accurately modelled underframe detail with cast metal solebar, correctly designed brake discs where different types are required, hopper door bump stops over the axles and even the correct variants of the hopper door style based on the prototype, as can be seen in the image. Look out for the full painted sample reveal coming soon.

We are excited today to release more information regarding the second run of our BBA and BLA wagons.

The second run will include the following new liveries; Bauxite and Metals for the BBA, plain brown for the BLA and EWS for both the BBA and BLA.
