We’re really looking forward to attending the Glasgow Show this weekend - if you’re attending come and visit us at stand A13 to see our latest samples and project news! We have a number of production samples flown in especially for the show, including Total TEA samples.
To get in the mood for the show we have some prototype inspiration of the Total TEAs with 47380 'Immingham' crawling towards Acton Main Line with the 6E50 Langley to Lindsey oil tanks.

Our Class 56 project has been progressing nicely in the tooling stage to a point where we are confident we can release the price of the loco without changing it further into the project - with the RRP being set at £189.95. The price of the DCC fitted and DCC sound versions are TBC at this stage.
We’re very excited to receive the first shots out of the moulds and will provide a full update on the project once these have been received.
There’s one final unannounced model in the Cavalex Class 56 range; which Class 56 would you like to see us produce?
Thanks to all of our customers and followers for their overwhelmingly positive reaction to the project so far.
We just wanted to take the time to wish all of our customers and followers a very Happy New year! 2022 promises to be a significant year for us at Cavalex - including the forthcoming TEA tank wagon release in the coming months. Production is progressing well as can be seen by the numerous grey barrels being produced!

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.

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.

Please click the below button for our post GETS October project’s update:
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!
