Bumping this as @flange lubricator highlighted it in the thread on IRM's NIR Mk2 B/C announcement... Some of us are waiting with baited breath to see if there'll be a surprise Christmas announcement on some IR / IE variants!

Awesome, thank you!!! Yes, "diagonally opposite" was what I meant by alternate sides and ends. Thank you!

Thank you! So a converted first would still look like a first externally etc?

I see mentions in this thread of Mk2D composites and firsts being converted to standards. First, when did these conversions take place? And second, what did they entail? For example, did converting a Mk2D first into a standard involve changing it externally from seven windows to eight? Did it go from having both bathroom windows on the same side to having them on alternate sides and ends of the coach? Were the doors blocked off or replaced with windows when the composites were converted to standards? Did the composite bathroom windows already match the standards? Thanks!

@gm171 kk got the windows right, somehow... I guess the windows also came from an 8113 donor.

So a Murphy Models 112 on an 8113 chassis, as per @gm171 kk's model, would be appropriate for post-June 1990, and Murphy Models 111 would be appropriate for pre-February 1990, more or less?

Just bumping this up as it's suddenly very relevant due to IRM's new NIR coaching stock! Is it fair to assume from @hexagon789's post that all three locos, 111, 112 and 113, had yellow panels by their 1989 and 1990 re-paints? So they went from red panels to small yellow panels to large yellow panels to small yellow panels? Here's a photo of 112, dated 27th May 1990, courtesy of Adrian Nicholls on Flickr, presumably just before repainting with yellow panels? And another of Adrian Nicholls' photos, showing 113 on the same date, deep blue with small yellow panels:

It was eagle eye @murphaph who pointed that one out to me!

Except for 903, you sly devils! That's the one that inspires hope in one day seeing some IR / IE packs!

So a lighting and 21mm bogie kit might be an idea???

And the 201's! Definitely!

No C Class???

I reckon that there are a huge amount of 111's and 201's out there already, crying out for coaching stock... I personally know of six NIR locos in need of coaching stock, and I'm sure they are the rule rather than the exception. Another run of 071's would be a treat, specially in grey and in NIR livery, though!

Will there be a few thousand of the lighting kits available seperately? I'd like to be able to retrofit my MM Cravens, MM Mk2D's, Bachmann Mk2A/B's, Lima Mk2D's, Silver Fox Mk3's and Silver Fox GSV! Also, can the wand be installed somewhere on the layout, for example underneath a bridge? So, as each train passes underneath, the lights alternately switch on and then switch off each time? Or, does the wand have to be activated by pressing a button or something? Is the wand bi-directional or do you need to start at one end?

So does that mean that we'll see IR / IE packs at some stage??? The Bachmann Mk2B gougers had better run for the hills so.

That lighting is incredible, and it works on DC!!! From what year until what year did each of the two liveries run?

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job on the weathering, and that is some backscene!

So, the probabilty list is: 1. B&I Ferry - highly detailed but has to float so that you can take it into the bath with you. (Would have said "pool" but most of you wouldn't know what a real one of those is) 2. Two-tone green Dublin buses. (KCs, KDs, Atlanteans and Van Hools only allowed on Facebook, booooo!)) 3. Irish road vehicle range, probably Hinos or Road Liner Trucks (Oxford commissions ruled out) 4. Old timey coaching range, something that ran from the fifties until the nineties, suitable for pretty much every RTR loco that's out there, including BR Mk1 GSVs. 5. Mk4 coaching range. 6. Mk3 coaching range in collaboration with Murphy Models. 7. Cement Bubble re-run. 8. P22 9. P47 10. Irish steam loco. 11. Generic five-plank open wagons in five-packs. 12. 141's and 181's using all of the innovation and experience from the A Class project. Get your bets laid!!! That's only speculation, get back in line, you!

Warbonnet gave a very firm "no" to competing with the Facebook Resin Specialist ranges, so you can scratch an Atlantean off your list!

Thanks a million! Will do so tonight or tomorrow... Voluntary work is calling right now!

Similar question to this but not identical... How do I download invoices for my purchases? I have received email confirmation of each order, and can view my orders online no problem, but I'd like an invoice for each order similar to what usually comes inside the box. It could be staring me in the face, but I just can't see it!

Awesome news, right behind the A's! Green, grey or silver? You mean an InterCity 201?

I think that Corgi and EFE have done them RTR.

Also, I see that Marks Models now have 15 of the 17 listed, just missing one B/T and the limited edition.
