Sounds like the timber markers were removed, at the very least, but I wonder if there were any other differences externally? IRM pallets of briquettes next!

If you ever decide that you need to move an Atlantean off-site to make way for a new arrival... What's that phrase? Oh yeah, i know a man...

The possible list of announcements was: https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/11116-0mg-magnesite-wagons-next-for-irm/page/3/#comment-178186 But Boskonay cautioned us that: https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/11116-0mg-magnesite-wagons-next-for-irm/page/3/#comment-178210 I imagine that one of the announcements will have a vague P42 connection: https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/11612-new-announcement-give-your-depot-a-lift-with-cie-forklifts/#comment-180512 Or a strong one: https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/11461-irm-kegs-wanted/#comment-177221 But, to be honest, I'm looking at the bank balance, and selfishly praying for more delays!

I see one on eBay! https://www.ebay.es/itm/325251431302

When I go to view locos, there was no drop down menu at all until yesterday, but there are filters under the locomotive category, showing the 31. Screenshot attached.

Found it. Life-Like Trains Proto 2000 BL2 chassis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto_2000_BL2

What size will the 22000 formations be after these arrive? They currently exist only in three and five car formations? Obviously they can be coupled into sixes, eights and tens, I know.

Looks lovely. What the Hell is a Porto 2000 chassis?

Not big enough, and it doesn't float. Wrong colours, too, needs to be blue and white. And what's all this about 1200h today???

There are probably many people who don't have the luxury of baseboards, tables etc, who will run their trains on carpet, so Sam's Trains caters for them. As Sean says, testing under difficult conditions like carpet is probably fairer than testing under ideal conditions. Reading the comments under the various YT videos, people seem absolutely enthralled with the 55's; the quality, the innovation, the features and the value. I guess that none of them had experienced the IRM A's! One recurring theme in the reviews and comments is how Accurascale have set the bar for other to follow.

Yaaaaaaaayyyyyyy!!!!!

I think that EU shipping is done via the accurascale.eu website. Are they out of stock on the .eu site?

The comments under Sam's review should have the IRM lads (14 of them now?) blushing, almost nothing but compliments and people raving about the loco:

I'm guessing that the plated-over headcode models are the newer ones?

So if I sort new to old on the website, it's the models rather than the prototypes, that I'm sorting? Are all of the TOPS ones the same sort of age?

How does one tell which of the BR blue livery Class 55 is the newest? The only thing that I know about is pre-TOPS and TOPS, but there are so many different variants. Sorting "New to Old" on the website doesn't quite seem to sort them in that order.

The models must be / have been incredibly high fidelity, based on their OO Gauge pricing. A shame that there seems to have been some sort of legal issue the last couple of years. From their FB page, it appears that a former partner / employee has branched off to do the same thing himself, with a new partner, under a different name.

Never heard of this brand before but came across them today. Wondering if anybody knows anything about them. Just out of curiosity, I'm not looking to buy one or anything! https://www.hattons.co.uk/820902/golden_age_models_ga_60010_po_class_a4_4_6_2_60010_dominion_of_canada_pre_owned_dcc_sound_fitted_right_hand/stockdetail http://www.goldenagemodels.net/phone/lner-locomotives-a4-class-oo-gauge.html https://m.facebook.com/goldenagemodels

I had to order one, they just look incredible!!!

Well, they kind of got Los Cristianos in the end, albeit closer to 1997! Waaay off topic, but a Canarian colleague visited Dublin recently, and said that it rained for the whole three days, and the waves at sea were a metre tall. Demanded to know how anybody can live in those conditions. I told him to go back again in December.

That's just because I use eBay.es rather than eBay.co.uk.

Here ya go, @Sean Can't go wrong with these for practicing on: https://www.ebay.es/itm/394104157397 Or these: https://www.ebay.es/itm/363864013173 Or this: https://www.ebay.es/itm/195124556051

I feel sorry for any poor English-speaking kids named Alex who visit there.

Did they have DART lookalikes on that S-Bahn line years ago?
