"we can get a financial breather between now and May " You hope....... I somehow don't think IRM will be sitting around for 5 months doing nothing before thinking of other extraction methods of cash from the wallets in exchange for wonderful rolling stock.

Commercial traders ok but collectors with 50 , that pushing the boundaries! As the man says when you pop the clogs there will be swarms of lads coming down to do the Missues a Favour and get rid of the pesky toys for you, As long as that all it is! Three Cheers from An Post TBH Great set an lovely Post missus here in Conna!

How do you actually know that Noel? 50 locos is 10K. Mind you if you had the cash to do it you would have most likely a better return that the Savings banks. The Way things are with Limited stuff now is going nuts take the Olivias train Hornby 3rd class coach for the Stephenson Rocket. https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/150512-new-hornby-rocket/page/66/ Just not Cricket ol chap. Would not mind 2 extra to renumber but if they are gone there gone, Maybe PM will do another run of different numbers at some stage, nothin stopping him doing that at some stage, ching Ching.

LOL I expected a Laser cut Log Cabin! Well wear mate,, Its nice to have a 2nd home!

Plus the fact now in Ireland deliveries are being subbed out to Taxi driver, Like they will care. DPD are doing this reckon. Buddy of mine witnessed in his avenue loads boxes being lobbed out roughly onto the road before he dropped them to the end user. He was looking out for he 121 delivery and was bricking it that it might be in the delivery! What a line up 20 years ago one would be dreaming of models of that quality instead of whacking together great lumps of white metal!

You can pre purchase them as they aint in stock and they take the cash straight away!

Still Waiting for the Sound unit so the deck cant be glue down, The Compass deck is mostly built, Need to put on another coat of paint and the windows and doors, The bridge about is made up along with the Bilge keels. White strips on side of hull, The plans along are 12ft long! The Font Gun platform Railings went on during the week. Some little issues when you cut out the printed sections and make them the end result ends up wrong, IE the Flag box on the green platform is too small and should but up against metal hand rails so will have to cut out and built correctly. Time to get the Gluhwein out. Tis Cold enough Brrrr.

Well the good new 5 are on their way in 1 lot from ROS! Not looking forward to VISA in Jan that for sure as hell looking forward to playing with these babies with the IR ballast set behind them! YOUR DETAILS FOR ORDER WEB-399202-69450-************* Name: George Norman (georgenorman70@gmail.com). Delivery address: DB Schenker, Air Import Dept, Unit 2, Harbour , This delivery makes up part of your order: 1 item was previously dispatched, 1 item was previously dispatched, 5 items in this delivery, 2 items to follow later.

Got mine today Perfect timing too as the missues was out getting the weeks shopping of Aldi beans and bread. Hard times Sssssssshhhhhhh! Good fix for the few issues I came across talking with buddies with the Week Spray boxes falling open and the model getting damaged during Transit (happen to mine too but able to fix). A Small Sticky label too to sides would of done the job too ala Airfix but fair play.

I used them as they have a loyalty scheme but they have a bizarre way of charging your credit card on ordering and then crediting it costing you money. I steered away on my last order over this arseways of doing things. They lost over 1K of business over not crediting me the difference in FX rate in the 2 days it took to do this maneuverer. I ordered the last batch of 121 from the old Boss in Marks....easier and with Brexit did not want to take the chance!

That was nice, I got zero and I have requested the next lot be sent out as one and I got back the snip below. Bit annoyed with the lack of actual assistance for a customer that has spend a good few bob with them over the past while and then we I had that my order for the W1 was Cancelled, then the New coach to go with the rocket over the big H Spat was cancelled due to the spat with the red box lads. Got the Rocket coach in the end direct from Hornby. I was told then on an earlier mail that Apparently they can hold things for 8 weeks before sending but in the reply below they cant!

nice one, Better ship my lot in one batch, They sent them separately the last time losing me cold hard cash. If it happens again I'll go to Hattons and use the Trunk option.

It looks like demand is far outweighing supply. Yes certainly does on this occasion and the sales now doubt helped by stuff to stick behind them too from IRM. Is 504 now too low of a number to cater for the Irish Market or do you risk shelf sitters on a higher batch.

Yep a quality No.4, 131, 171 ,85, 186, 184, 461 and even the little 2 numbers 3 ala the Hornby Peckett would be great for a shunting layout I'd say would disappear off the shelves, UK Steam head collectors would buy these up too. If I had the readies and all that I'd throw a few bob at it but easy for me to say. When the modern stuff runs out for IRM Horizons afar might call! . Plus you have lots of other options to produce with different numbers for each loco plus opens up coaches, wagons etc and a lot more poorer people! 171 for instance, Green, Black and Blue, imagine this tearing around your oval!....Yum smell that oil. Those Scottish 812 class just look the biz in blue. https://railsofsheffield.com/products/35627/bachmann-35-280z-oo-gauge-caledonian-railway-blue-mcintosh-812-class-0-6-0-steam-locomotive-no-828-as-built-

Tis there

They A Class are ' Cheap' now as they are available to buy now. You can't compare the same with the 141 prices on ebay, I have said if before. If two blokes with endless wallets and there are a good few of them about then the chaps who are willing to pay max 200 slobs will loose out. My last baby someone offered 200 notes, it went for 350 in the end, I won't refuse the extra 150 notes at any stage. When the A's sell out then the same will happen to the value there hopefully. The 071s took ages to move from the shelves. Same as the 201s and tbh you could easily say a lot of people on here have more then one loco bought of those classes. I know I do, When I look at what I have I most likely will never use some of the locos. I sold a book the other week, Bought for £35 in 2000, Sold for £280 notes last week, I would not even look at paying that for that book but the chap who wanted it had to as you cant get the volume anywhere. Hopefully it will be reprinted at some stage as it was a fab book. Good luck DJ in getting babys for bargain price bud.

Kaydee but the looks of it.

afraid not Nov was the last Digital copy I obtained, If it comes in I'll let you know.

N would be the biz in Irish Railways, A proper rake of M3 is waaaaaaaay too long for most layout along with long block trains like containers and cements, taras, I have a 12ft Scenic section and the Mk3's stretch across all of that.

roughly 26 notes a wagon you cant go wrong! I have enough flats at this stage. More than the missus!

I see you did!! I got Suckered in for a CIE ballast Set Bundle and the New IE Ballast Wagons, You only live once. Accurascale has a few bob of their bundles too.

man alive..

Some Fab Cameos there during the film to take on board like the scrap on the loading bank, the Fertisler spreaders non the flats The 20ft container trans, The Derailments. I do think they BNT era was the more interesting even though I was not around for it. a After watching this I feel like ordering a rake a Beets off of PW!

Hi Lads, Just come across this, some excellent footage, I've not seen much or any of this before so fair due to the IRRS for sticking this on Utube. Interesting to the background to getting all these super 8s onto digital, the work the chap has done is immense. @Noel you will be in your element here! You may even now try to get a rate of Mk.2 in primer green!

I built a load of these if you want to put up a pic I should be able to help you out.
