Otto-Mobile OT444 1:18 scale 1985 AE86 Toyota Sprinter Trueno, no. 1388 of 2000 units released last year:

Oddly specific, with a high probability of accuracy… Only one empty pack, though?

Does this mean good news on the 22000’s? Showing as Q3 2025 estimated date according to the A/S Project Update page.

Parcel with these four repaints arrived recently. Still on the hunt for any reasonably priced Mk3’s.

Still no guesses, @JasonB???

I’d say that the payment dates reflect the estimated arrival dates that were updated on the 12th. 22000’s may be soon, Hell yeah!!! Park Royal estimated date was removed, so early next year sounds plausible.

This Christmas is likely to be wonderful! The 66’s look stunning. Having seen Run 1 firsthand, I don’t know what you could tweak

Roads and Rails posted this video on swapping the cab lights and shunting lights, to make the cab lights directional, and have the correct shunting lights:

Prior to the change this Tuesday, both 66’s and Park Royals just said “Q2 2025”, so there’s definitely some news in the pipeline. Interesting that the 22000’s (Q3 2025), Hunslets (Q4 2025), and 800’s (Q3 2026) haven’t changed status on the Projects page!

They look very slmilar to the rollers in picture no. 14 here: https://www.temu.com/es/accesorios-para--de-tren--1-87-con-via-de-50-cm-soporte-de-prueba-de-rodillos-y--para-tren-con-8-ruedas-g-601100238693456.html And here: https://www.temu.com/es/vagones-de-rodillos-de-prueba-de-via-de-acero-inoxidable-para-trenes-de---1-87-ho-accesorio-para--adultos-g-601099838189523.html Combined with an IKEA LAEMPLIG: https://www.ikea.com/ie/en/p/laemplig-trivet-stainless-steel-30111087/

Accurascale / IRM Projects page was updated this week. Park Royals now say "Update Coming, 2025".

Fabulously innovative. IKEA, is there anything they can't do?

Loads of non-Irish-outline buses here on Adverts.ie: https://touch.adverts.ie/models/100-diecast-1-76-scale-model-buses/37891772

Lots and lots of lots here, plus lots of potential bargains, at the Rails X Hattons auction: https://www.sheffieldauctiongallery.com/auction/details/-the-rails-x-hattons-archive-sale--auction-no-5

Those pics from @warb and @ttc0169 have me salivating. Mine showing as less than two weeks away.

Professor Snake Badger Mushroom?

The whiter livery was just a bit too clinical for me. Probably not until we have an RTR 8100 Class DART…

SPLOOSH! That’s the livery I went for, too, the Executive Badger with the mushroom mushroom band.

The night videos are fab, even though they make me want to pee.

Aside from all of the hard work on the layout, that diorama is fabulous.

Excellent, delighted to see this! Thank you!!!

So we can take your post here as an official notice on the extras being illegal? If so, based on facts rather than speculation, then boycotting the extras makes sense. But, how can they be removed from the market before the next loco arrives, if nobody buys them? And, how can the boycott be effective if the only potential buyers who are aware of it are here on the forum? I doubt that the sellers will remove them from sale, and would assume that they have covered their backs by “laundering” the locos through several companies, first. If I recall correctly, the 121’s were Paddy’s first project with this factory. For the 071’s and 201’s, he planned using the original tooling with no changes. That implies that he wouldn’t have been going back to the 121 factory until after those two locos, at the very earliest, so project delays are unlikely to be due to that. Not saying that the A/S delay wasn’t caused by this kind if behaviour, just that based ln what we know, delays to the next two MM locos are unlikely to be caused by this. I suppose my main question, now that you have publicly stated the legality, is where to go from here?

Have you seen the proof that these extras are in breach of contract, or is that an assumption based on your experience? Murphy Models have already released a loco since the 121’s, so your statement on this delaying new projects seems flawed. I agree that it is sad, specially the RPSI limited edition, but I’d like to know, rather than assume, what the legality is.
