A 1/76 Nissan GTR would be nice 

A huge Thank you to Paddy Murphy played a huge part in the growth and interest in Irish railway modelling, from the Lima models to the fantastic Class 141/181, Class 71  a favourite,

the mighty Class 201,  and then the superb Class 121 fine choice of livery,  the front lights, see thru mesh grill I think it is his finest model, looks good on both layout and display cabinet,   

hopefully you might do another model                                                                                                                          

Firstly congrats on producing GWR 7800 it looks a very high spec and detailed Steam loco and will be very popular, I was looking into purcahsing a new steam loco model 

and will be purchasing the GWR 7800 glad I waited,  my main interest is in diesel locos but the Manor model will be fine addition on any layout

I would purchase an Irish Steam engine but from IRM point of view I can understand it must be a viable project

The new Accurascale MK5 Coaches with close coupling mechanism and onboard lighting look superb hopefully might lead to an IE MK4 coaches launch by IRM

More Bells ordered and B & I, having missed the original container liner wagons ,  catching up thanks to the excellent spoil wagons and C Rail container great selection, can

assemble a liner train that used to come to Cork

MK4 Coaches and a DVT would be perfect,  could adapt the Accurscale new MK 5 coaches that are due 

Last year bought 20ft Bell containers  superb  

Happy Christmas all, don't spend all Christmas day running the 121

Hi everyone,

Our friends at Downpatrick and County Down Railway have been badly affected by the COVID19 situation, with Stormont not helping them with funding during this very difficult time. Without revenue due to lockdown for 2020, the society needs every bit of financial support it can get.

The railway is the only operating 5ft 3 preserved line on this island, and if it was not for their help we would not be able to bring you accurate renditions of forthcoming models like the A Class. Please give what you can to ensure our railway heritage is protected!

Thanks,

Fran

Done   well worth supporting there are so few preserved trains organisations in Ireland

Thanks for the info, I'm on the mainland so struggle to do your swap meets, found 3 and another member on here has one so all good, the tippex orange was ugly in my opinion, very odd.

I sent you a PM with regard to the post costs
