LOL, of course there'll be re-runs at some stage. You think that manufacturers will sit back if there's a gap in the market and say "Nah, let's not bother selling what we can sell, let them paint Hornby Class 25's orange from now on" ?

Ugh, those steam engines all look alike!

No pun intended?

I'd give it a couple of years and see if there are more runs of certain locos. Obviously, some people will say that they'll never be run again, other will ignore the economics and say that there should be X, Y and Z run tomorrow, but striking a balance between those two poles, re-runs are an inevitability. There are a couple of 141's for sale at €250 each on adverts.ie at the moment, but that's far too much, in my humble opinion. Not saying that they won't sell, they definitely will, but as the 121's and A's show, €190 is what a brand spanking new loco with all of the current features is worth. I hope you've ordered yourself a few A's???

Possible. I'm on the mobile and not actually logged in, so it just shows a price of €460 plus shipping, but doesn't mention the tax.

Sorry, stupid question: How do you get the local import tax figure?

Wow, that is just gorgeous! I have a few commissioned through Chris Dyer, and your photo has me even more excited about getting them, now!

Lovely to see some IRM stock, some MM stock, a GSV of some sort, some impressive green buses, and even a City Imp, all plonked on a lovely looking layout!

The day is young, yet, still four and a half hours to sunset.

It's a running joke, I think. Connolly asks about the A's every 24 hours, in a different thread each time. He jumped the gun the other day and asked after 21 hours but that post vanished!

€200 would be an OK price for those sets, mainly based on their value as collectibles. As for rolling stock, we have MM Mk2D's and Mk3's coming over the next few years, so not worth it.

Once there are no product launches during those six odd hours!

You're lucky you edited that post, or I'd have been posting rotten eggs to somebody up there to throw at your windows!

Jaysus, you anti-collector "trains must be played with" nazis would lose your minds if you visited my house.

Don't be so cruel, not everybody has 28 degree-latitude climate... You know damn well that three hundred days a year up there, it goes dawn-dusk-night-repeat... A serious question, though. Are those freight wagons actually converted passenger stock or something?

The weather wouldn't be change enough for ya?

Throw in MM0171 and we have a deal!

I'll second that, Edo. The economy down here is probably about 95% tourism, so even though the impact on me personally has been the opposite, more hours, no breaks, I see the devastation all around me. At the same time, people are itching to travel, emailing about apartments every time there is even a hint of restrictions easing. They just can't wait to get out and fly somewhere. Once a critical mass have been vaccinated, and travel starts up again, there'll be a years worth of pent-up need to fly unleashed all at once. Fingers crossed that it's not too much longer for you.

Same, never knew that was there, but it does exactly what I want!

Yup, JHB is just on the strong stuff because it's Saturday.

The section headings on this forum work very much the same - bold for unread threads. However, I usually scroll down to "Latest Posts" to get an overview of what has been happening, and to see if IRM have announce RoadLiner trucks yet, but the five posts listed are often all from the same thread. Hence suggesting that only one post is shown for each of the five most recently active threads, in that section.

On the topic of forum use, is there any way of changing "Latest Posts" to "Latest Threads" or something similar? If all five of the most recent posts are in the same thread, we miss out on which threads have most recently been updated. If instead of showing the five most recent posts, it showed the most recent post in each of the five most recent threads, that would stop things getting lost.

Blue buffers on the left wagon and red buffers on the right wagon, too. Slightly off topic, but do you guys intend releasing G3 lids at some stage to fit onto the current G2 model, or will it just be new G3 Tara's completely, one day?

Both wagons in the photo appear to have different lids - I assume that the main wagon has a G1 lid, as the lid on the wagon to the right looks more like the G2's on the IRM models. What are the differences between the bogies on the two wagons? I'm struggling to see them. Wait, I spotted two; the little kind of runner thing underneath, between the wheels, and the closed-end on the bogies on the wagon on the left vs. the open-end on the bogies on the wagon to the right.

So the blue Tara's with their G1 lids will be essential for those modelling the early to mid nineties!
