We just wanted to wish our customers and everyone who has supported us over the past year, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

It was great to get back to a few shows at the back end of this year, we’re hoping that will continue into 2022, so we can get back to meeting customers face to face on a more regular basis.

Cav and Alex

BBA Second Production run - the wagons are now on UK soil after docking last week. They’re currently at the port awaiting clearance so we’re hoping to have them imminently. We will provide further updates as soon as we have the wagons and our final QC checks have been undertaken.

PHA/JGA PROJECT

From day one of starting Cavalex, we have set out to produce the most detailed models we can through innovation and a taking different approach to traditional manufacturing techniques. The PHA/JGA bogie hopper wagon is no different, having a wealth of detail on the underframe. Our first Engineering Prototype sample really shows how this detail has been replicated on our model just like the real thing - come and see the samples for yourself over the weekend at the Great Electric Train Show!
