  1. Is the 1969 A39R the same as the 2015 A39R, or are there differences in lighting, staff catchers, CAWS etc?
  2. I may have to order an extra two and have them shipped via a friend up in Ireland... The latest photos have me drooling even more than usual.
  3. What's the A Class leaderboard looking like at the moment?
  4. Yes, I'm mad for the pallets! Love seeing them stacked and organised. 13 high to get them into the back of the truck without hitting the door. But also wondering just how many pallets of A Classes will be in the 40ft, and whether it's a standard 40ft or a PW 40ft. Could be something like 30 pallets if they're Euro's and it's a PW container.
  5. Absolutely stunning work! There are lots of lovely layouts on here, but over-populated with ugly old steam stuff. This, apart from being breathtaking, is a breath of fresh air.
  6. That's something else! Seriously, 141's for Christmas 2023, please!
  7. Shocking level of detail! The fan looks like it could actually spin. And, that cab detail is something else, never mind the illuminated dials. IRM have set the bar for what locos should be. When is the IRM 141 coming out???
  8. Wow! The 22000's are lovely looking as is, but I'm now visualising one of them painted in a chocolate and cream livery. Mmmmmmh, chocolate.
  9. Are they on Euro pallets, standard pallets or Chep pallets?
  10. Pretty sure that the Mk3's were in need of refurbishment at the time the decision was made. Much better economies of scale in the UK so refurbishing hundreds of Mk3's probably made sense to them. Also, pretty sure that Warbonnet posted in another thread that IE had funding that had to be used up at the time. Much as I love loco-hauled trains, railcars are far less labour intensive for turnaround etc. As you say, every unit is a loco so you can just swap one out if it's in need of maintenance. There's no shortage of pulling power, ever.
  11. Was the whole loco painted like that, or just one cab and one side?
  12. Ah, it was disguised for a movie? I couldn't figure out why they'd have covered the cabs up like that in regular service! Surely you could whip one of those together in your sleep, @Georgeconna
  13. Now we just have to hope that An Post sort their website out, or we genuinely will have to parachute pallets down over Las Canarias.
  14. I think that the IRM model of A39R is in her current preserved livery? Although, yes, it would be lovely to see her in her nineties silver livery when IRM do a re-run!
  15. The bald-and-beard look suits you well, @murphaph Were they IKEA Billy units in the corners?
  16. Never know! They might parachute the pallets of locos out down here just to troll everybody up in Ireland a bit longer.
  17. Still a big empty column down the left where the A Classes should be!
  18. Received a few packages lately, this one of special interest. Thanks @Rob
  19. I see a load of them landing out the back here every day. Never been but it looks fabulous!
  20. I'll try that one evening this week, thanks!
  21. Been trying to contact DC Kits by email the past two weeks or so, but haven't received a reply to any of my emails. Does anybody know if Charlie is unwell or something? I hope that he's alright, and it's just an oversight, an email server problem or whatever.
