Just been on my new accurascale account.................noticed that the Park Royal orders that I placed back when - but not paid yet - have increased in price - is this because the discounts at the time have not transferred over yet? ............one order is up about 45 quid and the other about 25 or so.........ok its not the end of the world - but it would have been nice to have been told..............

Hi guys

just noticed that the Park Royals are gone up to 90 quid each on the website ...........is this right? 

Will the price I booked them at over the last year or so be honoured?

thanks 

Ed

So they werent used on the Magnesite trains or the foynes coal and oil trains?

hmm

Would they have  been seen in the South?.....on other lines other than Sligo?

Is there a chance of any white smoke this year?

Dare I ask where IRM are on this project? Thanks

As suggested above - I removed the central wheel and problem solved.

In fairness I do have a few "naughty" curves made from flexitrack that are pushing the envelope so I wasnt shocked - all my bogie stock and 4 wheelers have had no problems - most of the locos too...with exception of some of the more stubborn members of my A class fleet..between derailments, oil leaks and gears slipping and motors giving trouble...i know we want prototypical..but Jaysis!

I might do as Old Blarney has suggested and give each wagon a good check up and a bit of lubrication if necessary.

Arrived Wednesday 

Look fantastic - however very unforgiving of any degree of sharpness in turns....I'll swapping out the couplers for kadees and they'll probably go in the display until I move to the attic - my den corner curves are too tight in places for them....

Shipped and on the way - Yeaah!

Cant wait based on pics above!

Dont mind them Lads.......take it easy - there is no hurry......give me a a chance to replenish the toy train fund....

Any updates on the Park Royal’s and ICRs????

 

Park Royals are now in production along with the H vans....and the grain vans are on the way....according to the status thingy on the IRM shop website.

Hi Guys

I'd say Rails are going in the same order that the invoices went out......i was among the last to get one so im not surprisesd. Also id say Uk deliveries seem to be going out - thats a big anount....all of us outside Brexitstan will have to wait....brexit has made moving goods a bureaucratic nightmare and all those commerical invoices in triplicate to all our individual addresses that have to be processed individually...this is a small family business - not Amazon.....hopefully Mr Starmer can work out something with the EU in the medium term cos its killing small UK businesses.....

Thursday May 15th 2024. The last train on the South Waterford Line leaves Grange headed for the Cork  fiddle yard. There the rolling stock will be boxed and work will begin dismantling the layout.

Maureen and I have decided it is time for us to move, first to a rental property near her mom who needs more and more help by the day and then look for home with with a garden, something we did not have in a condo and sorley missed. Of course a train room will be a requirement in any new house!

The A is derailed so you might want to look at the track there. Gives the points a right smack. 

Indeed - it actually hopped off on a bit of bad soldering before the point -  the A 's are quite unforgiving of any deviation of the trackwork...stuff the 121s, 141s and 071s just fly over.....only took the first of my As out of the box over the last couple of days and I've already fixed up a few spots.....all part of the fun!

Well here we are

95% of the track laid and wired up - just the sidings to be done.

Cobalt points set up and wired in, solenoid points wired in - all on Dcc currently - track is Dc - but dcc ready - will switch over as i get locos chipped.

Can finally start to thnk about scenics

Arrived this morning - delivered by fastway - from Hong Kong Express........from Dublin to Limerick..got first notification it was shipping 10 days ago...seems to have taken the western rail corridor with a spin into Loughrea on the way to get here.

They look fab tho! Thank you!

May yet...

He's at it again Fran.............

Was in touch with Rails on another matter this morning - i also asked about the Genesis coaches status - essentially the stuff is in production and they are waiting until the consigment is in stock before moving the customers orders over to their system for payment and delivery.....expected to happen over next couple of months - there ye go! - they'll be here when they're here!

was wondering the same 

Anybody had an update from Rails yet?

Ye cheeky pup........my shelves are as stout as the great wall of China

If i can get a continuous run by Christmas - just about - Voila!

Happy New Year everybody

We are evaluating the final production samples and in the coming week eil be sharing photos of all the packs and running videos. Once the PM signs off we’ll get them loaded into a container and they should be here in about 6-8 weeks. 

Have we any news Bos?

For me i’ve ordered some of the CIE ones but ultimately they’re not really a ‘model’ more an impression so i’d rather spend the money on accurate models  

If only you knew somebody in the business.....
