€350 and I'll think about releasing an A3R! Christmas special.

Not back then, anyway!

Thinking back to my school days, I remember one of the guys, a well-educated, pleasant, intelligent guy, got big into "tagging". He used to call himself "Rez", I think, and he and his friends called themselves the SBC, Stealth Bomber Crew. I have no idea what their motivation was, what they got from it, why they did it, but i know that they did it a lot. They must have been around sixteen at the time, and were not deprived kids in any way.

Speak for yourself!

Outstanding news! I can see a lot of Christmas stockings being filled with those... Unless you have some buses or trucks to announce this side of Christmas! Did the Ammonias run on black Y33's? Would the red or brown work for people who bought Spoil wagons to de-spoil for their C-Rail containers, but want something pre-black bogie era? I'm sure that @jhb171achill posted somewhere that black bogies on the flats are only around since the early 2010's.

Pfft, won't even be worth half that when the IRM ones hit the shelves...

This truly is / was an incredible sale. I had already over-indulged beforehand so couldn't dabble, but there have to have been a lot of people who were very very happy with this one!

Big stand means big model... A B&I ferry!

Sponsored by Irish Railway Models... So will you lads have a stand there? Ooh, maybe there'll be a stealth announcement at the show!

The ChippenRails, duh.

Booooooooooo!!!

I'm sure that one of the lads posted that one of the 13 is going to be a unit... DART, 22000, 29000, 2600, 2700, who knows? I'd suspect that one will be road vehicles, one will be a new large wagon, one will be an expansion of the Mk2B/C coach range, and one will be a P42 re-run. People lost their minds for Container Liners, Keg Liners and Ferts, they have to be on the burner!

Your trackwork looks outstanding!

I'm not allowed around sharp objects any more.

Tara Junction is the highlight of my Friday nights!

That third photo is incredible. That's a very similar viewing angle to how we'd remember seeing them in real life, and you're weathering is excellent. Have you re-wired the cab lights to be directional? It looks that way in the first photo but I'm not sure.

Awesome!!!

Wow, incredible offers. No excuse for anybody who hasn't already stocked up. The warehouse will be empty by Monday... Hope you have a container of something arriving soon!

That A Class is something else!

Delighted to see that. The guy is obviously missing out on some things that niche-within-a-niche Irish modellers would know, for example "SuperTrain", which is understandable if he's young, British and hasn't experienced certain things for himself. His issues with design / packaging / information are valid, and supported with evidence, ie are constructive criticism, but he does not allow these to take away from an otherwise outstanding model. Hopefully, manufacturers in general learn from the comments of influencers such as him. I see some commenters underneath his video suggesting IRM wagons to run with the 121, and suggesting that he reviews an A Class. If he does an A, hopefully he understands the relationship between IRM and Accurascale, and thus what the A means for future UK locos. It'll be a while before my own A's get here, but from what I've seen here and on YouTube, Sam will be blown away by the A. Sam's Trains takes a beating on here, but I suspect that some of that is prejudice rather than judgement. He addresses the unsuitability of the custard and cream coaches in his video, so is obviously well aware how blasphemous that is. Hopefully, somebody tells him about IRM's Black Friday sale tomorrow and he gets himself a load of wagons to review!

Boooooooo!

What can you guys pull out of the hat this Black Friday? Everything is selling out too quickly... There'll be nothing left to put on offer... Unless there's a secret announcement on something that was hidden in the container with the Tara's. Something large, blue and white, and buoyant, maybe?

Received notification this morning that my order shipped. Slightly circuitous route to get here so it'll take a while, but it'll be worth the wait! Somebody, possibly Garfield or Murphaph, posted a photo in another Tara thread, showing a blue and a brown Tara side by side. They were almost indistinguishable apart from a few areas, possibly the buffer beams, and obviously the G1 and G2 lids.

This climate?

Looks like nice Canarian sunshine in that photo... If so, she travelled a long way!
