Savage prices compared to what they go for on eBay, @declan64! Can’t see them hanging around too long.

And, if that’s just the clearout stuff, I can’t imagine what the actual collection is like.

I decided that one was too expensive to post here and risk the wrath of those in the Eurozone!

The dark green ones seem scarcer secondhand than the light green, but more sought-after (despite being very much in the minority prototypically). Not one I'll be bidding on.

There don't seem to be many Irish bargains around at this time of year.

This might be of interest to some, the price isn't silly yet:

Not bad at only €36!

I think that the tax-free threshold for importing into Ireland is €45, so that coach might skate under.

IRM lined green A Class no. A46 finishing in a few hours, current bid €360:

Plus postage plus import fees…

Still showing:

"Expected delivery date: Q4, 2025......"

Will it be a vvvvery nice Christmas I wonder......

I’d say that a 2025 arrival is unlikely at this stage.

@NIRCLASS80 asked on RMW a few days ago, and there was no comment from IRM / A/S.

However, another member posted HERE that they ordered a second Hunslett, and are not being asked to pay before December 29th…

I imagine there’ll be a bit of hullabaloo from IRM / A/S in the run-up to arrival!

The weathering, the sound, and the driving, it all just goes together so well. Pure class.

Bowaters Models have 1:32 Gauge 1 Irish stock:

121, 141 and 181 Class locos, a G Class, and coaching stock:

https://shop.bowatersmodels.co.uk/collections/coras-iompair-eireann

The 071 is not yet available to order.

You can also scale up from 1:32 to 10mm, which is about 1:30,5.

Lots of scope for 3D-printed bodies and parts in Gauge 1, but you need a fair bit of space:

It's taken a bit of time to get it working, but all orders now get this suite' of tools, and we're still exploring how to apply them to existing.

That set of tools probably covers most of the queries that people are likely to have with orders. Excellent.

Actually 'new' orders now support a full suite of editing, including shipping changes and application of discount codes after the fact (unfortunately it's only working for orders placed in the last month or so, and going forward)

That’s brilliant!!!

Even if it’s only for newer orders, it’s a great step to take.

What’s this???

An ECS 45’ container arrives into Lakeview freight yard behind the IR liveried DAF. 
 

The orange DAF!!!

The hustle and bustle on the platform is charming!

The lights look amazing, they bring a sense of life to everything.

Thanks Gents….having fun…A39 arrives from Sligo loco shed to shunt the empty grain wagons. 
 

That’s some stunning photo realism, @ttc0169!

Into the last 16 hours of the Black Friday Sale weekend for anybody who missed it.

Ten points per Pound Sterling spent, to be redeemed off future orders.

Worth highlighting that due to some very odd configuration, you can’t redeem points against an order already placed, BUT, you can, as I have done, contact support and ask them to cancel and then re-place said order using the discount code generated with your points…

So anybody with PalVans or Park Royals due in stock soon enough would benefit from doing so.

During a recent visit to Germany I was impressed with DBs ICE trains. Initially the ICE 1&2 were locomotive hauled, replaced now decades later by Siemens Velaro EMUs. As a fringe interest (hopefully not to develop into a mainstream hobby interest ), I planned to get myself a decent quality prototypical ICE with 7-9 units. As a newbie to manufacturers of Euro trains would appreciate any recommendations of Roco vs. Trix , Fleischmann, Marklin products etc. 

I have a few of Roco’s 319 Retales, the Spanish GM locos, and they are fabulous.

If their ICE is similar, happy days:

Are you on commission Dave lol...  

Not just commission, they have me lined up for director after they move production from China to Canarias.

Don’t forget the IRM / A/S Black Friday Weekend sale!

5x Loyalty Points, plus rake discounts of 10% for buying two to four packs of wagons, and 15% off for buying five packs or more.

If you missed out on Unfitted H Vans or Cement Bubbles, this is the time to pounce.

Maybe a mod could move the thread to the layout section ?

I'm not sure if it can be done ?

Tony.

@BosKonay can do ANYTHING. He’s like a creepy Santa Claus.

Is there any more info on how the 201s are coming along? Trying to figure out if I should put the next few budgets on the IRM preorders or if I should save up for them being released

Tony, why did you not put this super job in the layouts section?. Only just discovered it . Looking well

Thought I was going bonkers, knew that I’d read the thread, and then couldn’t find it again. Thanks for highlighting it!

Love the lighting, @ttc0169. Great to see @irishmail’s work live on.

Occasionally, one does become active, these give at least the impression of being real people, as they make a good effort at posting plausible things. They are, however still easily identified as 'fake', as they post things that are intended to look like an interaction, but without any real content.

One of them was posting every few days, without any direct contravention, not even coming back to edit in a link to a post, after it had seemed 'clean', etc. So, I let him waste his time.

That’s not fair, that’s how the “All Activity” here on our little forum looks at times.

Great price for anybody looking for points!
