That one was mine DJ. I decided to off load a couple as I have too many!  That’s the last one now.  Reinvested in IRM already!

I can't imagine anything better to invest in!

Forget NFT’s and crypto currency Invest in Irish models 

Sound words of advice for those with a better half who doesn't like them spending money on trains.

I'd say that this one is gonna make €400!

Definitely a lot of demand out there...

I blame IRM for this!

Not a fan of the Murpby Models 201. Doesn't capture the character of the prototype due to obvious inaccuraracies. Consodering what the guys at I.R.M. did with the A class would much prefer them to do an up-to-date mode of the 201(new).

Eh???

Including post? 

Not a chance!

Just received my first parcel of A's in the post today. A few more parcels slowly winding their way down here.

Had a quick glance in between jobs, and have to say, wow, what a loco. Won't get a chance to run any of them for a while, but they look stunning, out of this world. The level of detail is phenomenal.

One question:

Are the CAWS protective guards, or will they be, available seperately? They'd be a smashing for upgrading some of the IR locos in their most recent guise.

A46, A39R and A3R I believe are the ones that would cost €200 pre owned…..it’s only been a month and a bit since they were released

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

Christmas special.

Not back then, anyway!

We had a graffiti attack late one night on a construction site in Auckland several years ago, the perpetrators were not exactly under-privileged kids from the wrong side of the tracks but adults in well paid employment.

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.

Run up to Christmas, all our spouses are paying top dollar for our under the tree gifts, ……

 

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.

€400 for a tippex 071 anyone?

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!

We're hoping to be back in action with the 'big' stand and some new toys to share

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!

Remember the "Chippendales?". They were very popular. I was thinking of forming a similar outfit to help fund the purchase of future IRM releases. Anyone interested? What will we call our selves. It'll have to be railway themed of course.... 

The ChippenRails, duh.

Many thanks for the interest. Sold as a lot. 

Booooooooooo!!!

Now that we've gotten the I.R.M. As out of our' systems I wonder what will be the first of the 13 new announcements the guys have for 2022?

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!

You need to get yourself a hobby. Ever thought about taking up knitting? I'd highly recommend it. 

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.

Always  

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!
