Cavalex Models are pleased to share that our brand new Class 60 in 4mm scale will be arriving with retailers in early February 2025, with the first shipment from China due with us imminently.
Following receipt of production samples in early January, we have approved the models received so far.
We would like to wish all of our customers and followers a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
2024 was a significant milestone for Cavalex Models seeing the arrival of our first locomotive release the Class 56 and we would like to thank everyone that has supported us over the past year.
We are looking forward to 2025 in which we will see the arrival of our Class 60, announcement of our third locomotive, as well as the continued development of numerous projects, both announced and unannounced.
Merry Christmas!

We had a very enjoyable day at The South Devon Railway diesel gala on Saturday, our thanks to SDR and DCRail for hosting us at the event.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to come and see us in the museum, it is always great to meet people face to face and talk trains. It was also great to see 60029!
More news coming soon on the Class 60 project.
Looking forward to visiting the South Devon Railway tomorrow with DCRail and Cappagh Group. We will have samples of the Hornby Magazine exclusive 60029 on display throughout the day.
