Named after the very place they are made from..

Dunno where the spec came from but certainly not sprung buffers one the ones I received this Morning. Doubtful they are metal too. Have not run any but the Tension lock springs seem much more robust and less sloppy so fingers crossed they run a lot better. Used the Cash back on these too, Took a right ol chunk out of the total! Sweet. Better than the Lima ones though and pretty happy with them too. True Should of plummed for the IRM ones myself, Better overall given the price.

€229 price for those. Glad I got them for <120 back in the day. The ones going on FB recently for around 200 sponds so were are Bargain. Did I read somewhere that there was there one Loco in the new batch that had IR and IE Logos on it, The pictures listed are not the pics of the actual locos.

Brace call for sure and welcome given the debates on various forums. So the lights issue on the A classes could be fixed by IRM?, squeaky bogies?

Bit of a Drought from the last release. Looking at my Stock list of Irish Coaches, I am getting to the point of saturation really!! I got rid of the Lima Galways and bought a rake of those as I do like the livery!

Quite possibly yes, I have not ordered any but I suspect these will be in the shops for a bit anyhow.

Excellent. the Bogie twist seems to be an easy fix from what I have seen on the Net.

They looks better with the red gone for sure. Any probs with your bogies? Thank fully I did not require a complete set of Era's.

It 60 notes a coach, should be right from day one but glad I don't produce or make these things!! I'd be peeved.

This arrived today, looks very smart and will look sweet next toothed Bulleid diesel in the same livery. Down side is there seems to be a fault with the bogies nitvreally true which results in some of the wheels not sitting on the track. Some chaps have had issues with running, as i dont haveva layout wevwill see at some stage if thevwill cause me isdues, if it does Hopefully an Easy fix Doubt I will reorder stuff again as like previous models these errors seems to get fixed on a 2nd release.

Nope bought zero from them. Mind you Jan was a Killer, Bought a Kayak, Drysuit and some other gear,Class 20 and Booster. Totally wiped out.

Interesting point, There are 1000's of locos never run, God know I have a shed load myself that I have built up for that big day. Even though the receipts are in the boxes I doubt a claim will be entertained. The Mazak Class 31 was a bad one. Hornby would not entertain anything, I ended up buying a chassis block and installing all the gubbins. The Squeaky IRM bogies were another one. It would of been nice to have the defective bogies replaced Free but I can also see that as they have said Irish stuff barely breaks even so maybe not feasible but it was said the models were out of warranty when someone queried a free replacements.

Blimey, Only went once. Wonder if the IPMS Telford will go the same way at some stage. hopefully not, There is not so much an Ageing Demograph in the ol plastic kits side when compared the the Model Railway side plus the kits are still a wee be more affordable!!

Ordered a Class 20 which was delivered and SR Booster from Rails on the way, I just Pay VAT on arrival and €3.50 to the PO. Simple no messing.

Was not much to start with TBH Tempted with a Dapol B4 O gauge with sound but left it off. Vanished now.

Really Tough about Hattons., TBF I have not bought any thing from the UK since brexit until very recently when I bough a class 20 and Booster loco. Stopped buying from Kernow some time ago, For Pre orders they have a daft set up by charging your credit card for the total cost of the item, then they credit your card in between the rate can fluctuate and you loose money.

This is thew Iron Duke, Laser Deck and Etch. These models come out pretty awesome with those.

Think the black should go up to this line where the arrow is. The HMS Hood Association says that the depth of the black boot topping was about 8 feet. This equates to 4mm in this scale, which is the distance between the two guide lines on the hull Mind you I like the thinner line.

Think the moulding from 1965 has just about had it!! Add a bit of etch, it really pops these boats. WEM 1/600 HMS Hood (PE 616) | White Ensign Models

Wow Vert interesting but of kit there.

Only saw this now. Not a bad kit, Looking at it I thought it would be a nightmare due to the breakdown of the parts but as bit of time and care it turned out a lot better then I had reckoned. This kit was a product from 2019 so modern enough tooling and the 406 is from 2005!!!

Its a great source, I used it for looking up old buildings when I come across them. very handy.

"so I have obscured her face" Wondering Why you did this?

Some Lovely shots on this thread that I have never seen before! thanks it now pushing my thoughts into the 50's as the more interesting of the Era's to run on a layout!!
