    I'm sure if there was an accurate 22000 available, we'd know about it! Chris is known for his resprays, not so much for commissioning new tooling for runs of models, so it's fair to assume that what's in the box is a respray, that's all. Agreed, railcars are very much the future, as well as the present, so would be something that younger modellers would recognise. Plus, they're great for somebody with a small layout who feels that a too-short loco-hauled train looks a bit off.

    Jaysus, Noel, any excuse to knock poor old Chris Dyer. He fills a niche market, AND has been an invaluable source of hard-to-find and long-sold-out stuff over the past year or two. It is possible to compliment Enda without battering Chris, ya know?

    Hopefully Rob will be down there with his camera! @Rob

    Yay! And didn't Fran say something about asking for something now and having it in four years?

    Has that Bell Bulk been seen since?

    So the 170 is too flat and the 800 is too pointy... Maybe IRM have some in the pipeline, after the A's, the blue Tara's, the 47' flats, the Road Liner trucks and the green buses, of course. Chris Dyer's 166 repaints will do the job perfectly for my 29000's, but neither the 170 nor 800 will work for a 22000. Balls. Fabulous work, there, Enda!

    I think that the Class 800 nose is closer than the Class 170.
  8. DJ Dangerous
    What do you suggest instead?
  9. DJ Dangerous
    I'm sure they can be broken off pretty easily.

    Just saw this in the news, GWR Class 800's are falling apart... https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-57036247 Got me thinking, though, that they look very very similar to the 22000's. Some nice side-views here: https://www.hattons.co.uk/newsdetail.aspx?id=253 I wonder if they would make passable repaints? Does anybody have a similar 22000 schematic for comparison?

    Do I recall correctly, that Tara Junction holds a hidden Enterprise set somewhere? Does the 2600 run?

    I guess it's a bit of a gamble, but since the €25 IRM Local Link buses are already for sale at €65, with no honesty regarding paintwork finish, Irish stuff being in demand is a surety for the next few years at least. Even Hattons are now gouging, with second-hand SuperTrain Mk2D's priced at £65 STG each... And selling out in a few hours at that price.

    You'd be better off spending your cash on a few extra A's or 121's, then swapping them for what you want in a year or two, when they themselves go for extortionate prices. You'll save €€€€€ if you're prepared to do it that way and wait.
  14. DJ Dangerous
    I saw those two this morning. Not as terribly priced as some! But, the bidding will inflate the prices to silly levels.

    When you guys relocate manufacturing to the Canarias for the low wages, relative proximity to Ireland, multilingual employees and nice weather when doing your plant visits, I know a guy who'd be great at product testing...

    But staying on the ground after falling defies the laws of physics. It should evaporate straight away, apart from the odd exceptional occasion.
  17. DJ Dangerous
    Probably so that when kids bash each others heads in with them, the buses survive. Metal-bodied railway stock would probably lead to the trains weighing too much for the locos.

    I'm in that boat, day job plus voluntary work at nigh. 3D printing, manually soldering fifty million solder balls or whatever, I wouldn't dream of inside the next twenty or thirty years. To tempt me, it would have to be RTR / PNP. I wouldn't expect a huge range, just the basics to be able to run some trains.
  19. DJ Dangerous
    Why is the ground wet?
  20. DJ Dangerous
    I think that a far more important question is: When will we have IRM 47' Flats?????
  21. DJ Dangerous
    You have the correct red-oxide bogies in the image. The black are only ten or fifteen years old (thanks to JHB for that info elsewhere), so wouldn't have run with the A Class. I think that where models are concerned, only the IRM spoils have black bogies, but I'm open to correction. I mentioned it in case you wanted to add a note in the text box in the centre, saying "red bogies only" or something to that effect.
  22. DJ Dangerous
    As per warbonnet's post, the A Class didn't haul the Mk3's. We don't yet have any of those coaches RTR so they may just clutter the graphic rather than adding utility.
  23. DJ Dangerous
    Awesome sauce! I think that the container liners would only have been the red-oxide-bogie ones, not the black-bogie ones. Not sure if that's worth noting.
  24. DJ Dangerous
    The casting at the front looks a bit rough, and the painted window frames are a little funky, but at that price, you'd be mad not to pick up a handful! They can easily be angled to show their better features, or sat in the background. Excellent to accompany those IR livery A Class locos, I imagine? Thank you for offering them to us!
  25. DJ Dangerous
    Shapeways 201 with a few Mk3 repaints would look awesome!
