An Art Deco version in Dublin, now a pub and it sits beside a bridge over the railway It doesn't seem that long ago when there were petrol pumps in front of this building http://dublinpubs.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/porterhouse-north-exterior-1024x665.jpg

Leave aside loyalty points etc. On a like for like basis the retail price of a three pack of Fitted H vans was 99.99 euro, and today the basic price of a single three pack of Unfitted H vans is advertised as 130.95 euro and that is a 31% increase.on the full retail price. While the price of the fitted version is no longer recorded on the Accurascale i website, the full retail price is still recorded on the Mark's website.

Wow, 130.95 euro for a three pack. In effect a 31% increase on the price of the fitted version I'm stunned.

Which is a terrible shame, in what is a fairly small community

Sale agreed on Irish Rail packs MM4101 and MM4102 IE Intercity packs MM4108 and MM4110 are still available.

This story fascinates me;

Interesting pictures. In the first picture the coach behind the loco is a MK2A and in the second picture the first and third coaches are MK2A's. So the Murphy Models/Bachmann MK2A model which is the only RTR Irish model of this coach ever produced is a must for anyone wishing to complete a train consisting of MK2A/B/C coaches.

Passing through Drumcondra

Sale agreed

Unfortunately the reality seems to be that a C Class is conditional on the sales of ICRs Hunlets and 800s and from a business perspective I can understand that. So maybe give this a second thought, the Hunslets did run in the '80's. The 800 is an iconic must have for anyone interested in Irish Railways,and a show piece even in a display case. And while the ICR is very modern it looks and promises to be fabulous and it seems to me regardless as to the period of a layout, all you have to do is park all those models of older trains out of sight and run a liner freight train and an ICR and bingo it's 2010.

Pack of three Mk2 coaches in Galway livery, in mint condition 160 euro, located in Dublin. If interested please send PM.

Naah, let's move forward, we've gone beyond that.

Oh Dave, please don't put the kybosh, on a Class C. I can understand the Hunslet project is a consequence of the release of the NIR MK2 coaches which in turn were a logical extension of the UK Mk2s, and it's wonderful to see a model of a prototype of which there were only three that didn't circulate widely being offered and selling well. That being the case it seems logical that models of items such as the Class C and AEC rail cars which were ubiquitous for a long period of time, would be a standout success regardless as to how much seems to be coming on stream. Both also complement the Park Royals. It also seems to me that what is currently in the pipeline is long promised and there is pent up demand for more. Personally while it's great to see the 800's in that pipeline I would have preferred to have seen that effort applied to the more mundane stuff that was everywhere. My message to IRM is "bring it on"

On that basis, their inclusion in the "Services" section of this forum needs to be amended.
