So who's live-streaming the show to YouTube for us???

That's incredible. The M(odel)MPD sounds like a full time job!

I would have loved to have seen them in service. 

You'll probably have to settle for IRM models of them instead.

@tcc0169 - By chance, would you have any idea why the I.R.M. As sold out so quickly?

I believe that a forum member who often knows a man in the know also reduced the stock levels quite a bit.

You have such an incredible fleet of locos, what do you do with them when not running?

It was built by a chap in the South Dublin Model Railway Club back in the 80's to promote the coming of the Dart, it was recently restored by the Club and exhibited at the last Blackrock Model Railway Show;-

 

Outstanding. I'll have to ask DJD Senior to keep an eye out for that layout!

Was thinking of getting Warbonnet into a head-lock as to remove his I.R.M. hat but I don't fancy taking responsibility for a model of the next Irish railway prototype.

As for streaming the Wexford show, just need to find the record button on my Nokia 3310 and Bob's your uncle.

By the way, if anyone attending the show on Sunday want to know who I am, I'll be the 53 year old guy going through a mid-life crisis.  

So you'll be the one in the convertible, with a girlfriend younger than your daughter, wearing a blood-stained IRM hat?

Whose layout is / was that???

Hi everyone,

I will be there with my IRM hat on with some As, wagons and our buses for sale, as well as some nice accessory items and a couple of warehouse finds too. So, make sure you drop by, say hi, and check out what we have on the day. Will be fantastic to see some familiar faces after so long.

Oh, and something new too (small but very nice announcement!)  

Cheers!

Fran 

Will the hats be for sale???

Stunning locos on a stunning layout. Just wow.

I hope that somebody's gonna be streaming some of the show to YouTube.

It'd be nice to catch WRENNEIRE beating up RimFix in a corner while stealing his 141's, and for those of us trapped in sunny paradise, it would be nice to catch the IRM announcement live in 4K while we take a breather in the shade.

Any offers???

You forgot the MK4 set

Self-restraint, not forgetfulness!

Also held back on mentioning the P47's!

Hahaha I heard the Antonov 225 landed in Shannon this week. Did you send it?? 

That's the one! Got a bit excited and sent it too early.

Dammit Jim! They have the whole roadmap!!!

Once those B&I ferries are on the map, that's all that matters! I hope that they float, though, so I can take one into the pool with me.

Hi everyone,

Wondering how many more A Classes there are to be sent out? This much... 

Oh, and those boxes? Well, more on that this Sunday.

A3R as preserved?

22000 ICR's?

B&I Ferries?

RoadLiner Trucks?

A partridge in a pear tree?

Or is it just my order spread out over those few pallets?

My InterCity buses arrived today.

Simply awesome!!!

Anybody not buying at least one of these has to be soft in the head.

Managed to snap the exhaust of one, but that just makes it look more authentic, dragging the exhaust along the road...

And, they're numbered!

Little card inside each box with the production number!!!

Hi I know this might sound wrong but do you have an update as to which models you still have left from this batch? (not that I can afford anymore just now, but it is more out of curiosity).

As Murph says, you can see the remaining quantities for each here:

I could have sworn yesterday that when I went on the Shop site there was an advert for an ITG A3r as preserved version Class A but later on it had gone. Now I havn't touched a drop of the hard stuff apart from strong tea for the last 40 years. Have I gone even softer in the head or did anyone else see it? 

I thought that I had seen that a long time back, then just assumed that it had been my imagination. Can't remember the running number, just the "as preserved" bit.

Yay, ICR's for Christmas!

Yes there was a whole discussion thread on this, when a photo was produced some posters mentioned ''photoshopping'' which was totally ridiculous, locomotive 086 most certainly did get this treatment way back in the summer of 1990, when it was eventually painted in the full IR livery it still stood out as the IR was so big and out of place, it stood out from the rest, the IR was taken off a push/pull and stuck on to 086.

You're dead right:

John, glad to see your model made it halfway around the world all the way to New Zealand so quickly. My loco orders haven't yet made it 20km from Dublin.

Jesus, Noel, do you ever stop moaning?

Seriously, bitching about the lads on YouTube, on RMWeb, on here, there's no end.

You posted here about a bazillion times that you were going away, now you're moaning because the locos didn't arrive while you were away.

Maybe you don't mean to attack non-stop, but just think before you type, please!

That weathering looks excellent, really brings out the detail!

Were the A's and 141's the only classes to have the hybrid ST / Ir livery?

Some more photos here 

Unsure when taken.

 

 

 

Those photos will be great for the IRM lads!

There will be one small but very nice announcement.

Five-packs of five-plank open wagons!!!

Seen some photos on Facebook showing a lot of graffiti and vandalism of the main line stock stored there. Any one know what is happening and is the West Clare running again?

Can you share the photos here, or at least a link to them?

Stunning looking in those photos, Jason!

IR livery 017 down to less than ten units available!

They're flying out like hot cakes.

Why wasn't it a light green IRM truck cab? Very disappointed!

So, people who 'strictly' didn't have to pay and didn't, will have priority over people who didn't have to pay but did?  Just seems to me that those who paid their money first should be served sooner rather than later.   

Everybody had to pay at some point. Doesn't matter when. Probably only a handful asked for deferred payment. It would take more time to single those few out and hold their orders back, than to just keep ploughing through the list!
