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.

Two final teasers from us ahead of GETS this weekend - please come and say hello and have a look at the variations in design on our 3D printed class 56 cabs as well as the simply stunning underframe on the first EP samples of our Bardon PHA/JGA hoppers. We’re really excited to be back at shows after a long break!

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!
