  1. Sounds like we have a deal!
  2. Deadly. When you get your vaccine passport, you can fly a few thousand km down here to weather a few hundred wagons, coaches and locos... No cash payment, only sunshine.
  3. The lids look excellent!
  4. How about a 29000 in black with red lining?
  5. Laminates were retired in the mid eighties, I think? So they're ten years short of the golden years of Irish Railways in the mid nineties! I'm sure that there was a wonderful thread in 2015 or 2016 on the pros and cons of the IFM laminates, which made the most interesting reading for a lurker, and encouraged me to avoid signing up to the forum for several years. Either way, RTR Laminates are already out there, so it's time for Mk4's, then Mk3's and then Park Royals!
  6. Aw. That sounds a little illogical to me. Why drive two vehicles somewhere (a loco and a road tanker) when you could do it with just one vehicle, the loco, by hitching an oil wagon onto the back of a train?
  7. What carries the oil between the three nowadays?
  8. Yeah, we're starved for RTR passenger stock at the moment. Park Royals cover the whole life of the A Class, from the fifties until the nineties, so would be great for many folk. I'm pleasantly surprised at the demand for the trains of today! The most modern era is the one that fascinates me the most, but I don't see many here on the forum talk about it.
  9. Cue @jhb171achill to confirm or debunk that!
  10. Parallel to the iminent A Class, funnily enough!
  11. Try Chris Dyer. Chris often finds little gems and they don't hang around long when he does. Don't forget that some of the classic coaching stock ran until the nineties, so we're talking fifties to nineties, not just fifties to seventies.
  12. More 071's and 141's on the way with Mk3 and Mk4 coaching stock, yay! Passenger stock for the win!!!
  13. Is that an oil train that you're building, by the loco depot?
  14. This eBay seller, Adrian Lemon, often has Dublin Bus models for sale. Adrian Lemon and Derek Farrelly, I think, are behind some of the special BritBus commissions.
  15. What's the silver one underneath the Mk3 Escort? Very unusual curve to the bonnet.
  16. Do I see a Mk3 Escort and a Volvo 850 in there?
  17. The thing is, there ARE nice Irish buses out there, but the runs tend to be so small that they are only available for a very short period of time. The secret Facebook Van Hool Atlantean is a prime example, but even the IRM commissioned Rail Link buses flew off the shelves incredibly quickly. Then somebody comes along looking for Irish buses, and the only ones they can find are going for crazy money on eBay. I know that eBay pricing is a whole different debate, and there are arguments for and against crazy prices, so let's not digress on that here.
  18. Yes, the AD's would be even more awesome than the WV's.
  19. LOL, same here! Just a shame that Hot Wheels are 1/64 and not 1/76. Although, 1/72 Real-X and Cararama don't look too bad alongside the trains.
  20. You mean like Road Liner trucks and green Dublin buses?
  21. Stuff like Opel Astras, Volkswagon Golfs, Ford Escorts etc will surely sell well, even with the UK registrations, as they're Irish deep down!
  22. You wait ages for a bus, and then... Three Road Liner trucks come along instead!
  23. Anything that ran in a lot of different liveries AND had a long life-span is gonna be more commercially viable. Aside from the WV's, I'd love to see another run of the Imps, and a load of Olympians in different liveries. CMNL have two Dublin bus models due out, an ADL MMC Enviro 400 and a V/A CitySwift BT7L ALX400, so we also have those to look forward to. Hopefully, IRM will be stocking them to make it easier to spend even more money!
  24. Massive flaw with your survey... I couldn't see the "All" button for re-runs!
