Look forward to post-painted versions! Nice models

Please do!!!

Yes (from memory!) And yes, but some preparatory work may be required in the factory first!!

Something like that @leslie10646??

A short distance from Heuston North is Conyngham Road Garage (Dublin Bus)- a layout loosely based on the 2003 - 2009 era when a good variety of bus types still could be seen.

Looks very well- very clean at the moment. You need to get it dirtied

Best of luck Always exciting to start a project- make sure to keep us updated

Hi @josh_. Those standard Mark III's in that video are not LIMA as you say but repaints of Mark III coaches from Hornby (I think)- it was a good few years ago. They then had modifications such as the windows on the doors added. Hope it helps- well spotted!!

Mark 2D Composite 5156 in the sidings at Heuston North

Looks brilliant- well done. Don't know how you do all these at the rate you do at such a high standard!

Amazingly realistic- well done!

In real life, they often differed in shades too!

Brilliant- great detail and looks great

Sporting its brand new 'Inter City' livery, 229 leads the liner waiting at Heuston North freight yard after earlier arriving from Ballina, before heading to Ocean Pier.

Looking really good

Would just need someone to paint it now......

It's looking great

....comparison to previous layout.

There ya go @DJ Dangerous!!!

Looks brilliant

Looks excellent- great detail so lots to look at, zoom in on etc. Look forward to seeing more soon

Cheers for that @DiveController- will have a look through what you have there and see what l have. Thanks again

Cheers for that @DiveController- appreciate that; some great content there Am a member on Tapatalk so will try there too. From what l can work out, Cork City Bus Timetables ceased to be published in the (early?) 1960's even though the provincial services booklets continued. From bus destination blinds that originated in the late 1960's / early 1970's (see below), l've been able to piece together some details but there are some gaps** if you can help? 1: Blackrock - Gurranabraher. 2: Beaumont - Churchfield. 3: Ballyphehane - Farranree. 4: Ballyphehane (Friars Walk) - Farranree. 5. Model Farm Road - Blackpool. *6: Donnybrook (Grange ?????) - (Northside- maybe Collins Barracks?) 7: Collins Barracks - Douglas. *7A: Well Road (????) - Montenotte. 8: Mayfield - Bishopstown. 9: Ballyvolane - Pouladuff. 10: Ballinlough - Glasheen Road. 11: Tivoli - Magazine Road. 14: Sundays Well - Togher. *15 or *16: ?????? Grange involved on one of these?

I can only speak for myself which l understand is not anything like representative of 'the overall market.' l am sure IRM know their market better than anyone else given their success over the last decade or so. l do fall into the popular 30 - 45 year old customer base and like modelling anything in the 2000's on so was absolutely delighted with the ICR offerings. I also loved the Taras and the Container flats coupled with the Cravens and Mark 2D from Murphy Models for example, exactly what l wanted for my era. Non rail-wise, the Dublin Bus offering was brilliant for example. I have no interest in Steam or the likes of bulleid wagons but totally understand how others would love these showing how difficult and fragmented a small lrish market is. I would love the Mark IV complete with DVT for example, but recognise this would be niche in the greater scheme of things. Everybody is entitled to views / opinions, but in reality IRM are best placed of any of us regarding lrish railway modelling. Fingers crossed all goes well and lRM continue to provide us with such great offerings.
