Sorry to hear this, RIP Chris
A good man to deal with, and filled a big gap in the Irish Railway model range with the MK3 and MK 4 coaches and the fine 2600 DMU units to name but a few and his stand at the Dublin show will be sadly missed
If you don't like the ICR you can always buy something else, IRM have produced a fine of range of models from different era's and have a new announcement tomorrow. I do hope the ICR will proceed
Like DJ and others I thought the ICR were cancelled when I started reading the update very glad to see the project is still alive and I do hope the revised offering will arrive with customers in late 2025.
I put in an order for a 4 car set the day they were announced I appreciate that IRM will honour the original price, IRM have been honest with the issues and are working hard to bring the ICR to market.
The ICR are now the backbone of the Irish Rail fleet and would be an important addition to the Irish Model scene so I hope there will be more sales of these models so IRM can complete the project
