There is no justification or need to move them. We’d suggest everyone maintains their own records and downloads any historical invoices etc before those sites are permanently shut down. 

is there a date for shutting down the old page 

Well i was flabbergasted today a load of emails from accurascale with project updates on the 22000 class now moving to production. This is a great idea and really a great service to us.

Hi everyone,

If you managed to register your details on the form, then you're on the list. If you didn't, then you aren't. 

We will be showing a video announcement on the Accurascale YouTube channel on Monday evening for all of you who cannot make it. Link is below!

Cheers!

Fran 

thanks for confirming that everyone was waiting on an email as i think it said it on the original form we filled in

must say mine all arrived and the h vans definatly look the part

How can you forget Maeḋḃ's third livery ... the "preservation" livery of CIE lined green with GS lettering? 

There's been some very persuasive arguments for the 800s and J15s, and given the location I wouldn't be surprised by a GNR 4-4-0 ......

..... but I'll stick with the jeep as my official guess! Now whats this about it in a red NCC livery?? 

that makes 10 locos then add in original grey and we have 11 the same number of hunslets available

That’s clearly why JHB is involved in the reveal. He’s drawn up all those authentic livery schemes. Although IIRC in the very early 70s a plan was hatched by some NCC fans in the RPSI to paint 4 NCC red. Souvenir badges of her as such were produced and sold, again the gargle dims me brain but that’s what I recall….

ok lets see who can find a picture of said badge

I think a C Class is a cert eventually but probably not this time - I think there is a clue in Fran's use of the words 'most ambitious' which makes me think it's a completely new departure for IRM/AS - my £ is on a steam loco but 'ambitious' makes me think it'll be something other than my desired GNR 440 or NCC Jeep, neither of which would be more 'ambitious' than for example the Accurascale Manor.  Am thinking something big and green, the surviving member of which class is located not a million miles away from me right now.  But I have been wrong on every single previous occasion I have tried to guess what the lads are about to reveal!

if its an 800 class then theres 3 locos with 2 liveries each so 6 locos total  the big thing is they will have a working sample at the event so the loco is possibly been released before the hunslets

its definatly a steam loco as we were told last year that one of the announcements would be irms first steamer

Are you sure you want to use a tender? May be better to threaten with a tank!

water from the tender tends to be hotter

Old signs can be found in loads of places all over the network. Many of the 'Do Not Trespass' signs will have the CIE roundel on them. As has been said above, all (bar one) of the existing HOBS wagons still have the IE logo - not sure what logo, if any, the new HOBS plough wagons will have. 

Spotted this flying snail logo at the bottom of the low mileage end of the long platform in Limerick Junction a while back. Not sure what the purpose of the sign actually is/was though! 

 

 

was one of these just ouside connolly up to recently just at the junction

Hi folks,

We were offered these but decided against them as they just didnt fit in with what we would like to do livery wise. Good to see that they were picked up elsewhere.

Cheers!

Fran 

surprised accurascale didnt take the mould and do uk liveries with them

I feel that it would be a good idea for one of the mods to merge these three threads into one:

https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/18164-order-confusion/

https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/18106-irm-is-changing

https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/18073-irm-wagons

Maybe a title like "Please Bear With Us as IRM is Evolving" or something like that.

There are going to be teething issues for sure with such a big change.

A lot of customers are going to be inconvenienced to some extent, not "only one".

It's possible that AS are at the point where resources that should be dedicated to getting the move smoothly executed are instead being lost on trying to keep up with assuring us that they're dealing with things.

I've been trapped in that rut several times myself, whereby instead of dealing with our guests, I'm using the only time I have to tell them that I WILL deal with them once I finish telling everybody else that I will also deal with them.

Merging the three threads running simultaneously on the same topic would be a start, and if somebody had an issue that is genuinely urgent, they can see the general progress via the thread.

I'm sorry that people are having issues, I feel for you (and for me) and for IRM. I'm sure that this time next month, we'll all have our wagons and be happy as pigs in sh1te.

fully agree i think what is annoying a lot of people here waiting on orders is seen the items already for sale on ebay

Yeah I remember the Cravens, I thought the RPSI had lost the plot on this one. But it makes sense what you say, thanks for the info. Paul

there were 2 green cravens painted one with a yard brush im not kidding an the spare craven the messcar still carries the green lower. around this time craven 1541 sported a grey undercoat and would be seen with blue handpainted upper and grey lower skirt in the core before finally getting the new all blue livery in the late 2000s

Yes-same here???

mine still showing unfullfilled

now that irm site is basicly just a list of past orders will these eventually transfer to accruascale page and also any idea when points and levels will change over

This might have some potential for an NIR 1 class, an industrial loco newly announced by Revolution:

It's an Industrial Revolution - in OO! - Revolution Trains

It's by no means an exact match but probably closer in style than other RTR offerings. 

(With apologies to IRM if you're working on a proper DH!)

 

wonder with the variations could the dh be offered in a future run
