    How about having 234 painted in the "tippex" IE livery? Now that would be simply stunning! P.S.: Happy 75th anniversary, CIE.
  2. DJ Dangerous
    That'd be a very handy budgeting tool.
  3. DJ Dangerous
    Wow, so the ICR's would be ubiquitous enough for anybody modelling current day operations, no matter where on the island!
  4. DJ Dangerous
    Yes, very true, Chris offers some wonderful repaints - I picked up a silver and black 231 from him through a misunderstanding, and am richer for it! Do the ICR's run over the whole network, except for the Enterprise route?
  5. DJ Dangerous
    I was lucky enough to pick up two IC 201's and a 231 repaint, but even those were scarce enough. At least I can run some Spoil and Tara Mines trains! ICR's are definitely overdue to fill the passenger void!
  6. DJ Dangerous
    So motive power and passenger stock are notably absent, more or less? Yes, it would be nice to be able to pick up some of today's locos!

    For those wishing to model Irish Railways as things stand in 2020, what RTR stock is out there? What I can piece together, and am open to correction on, is the following: MM InterCity livery 201's MM Freight Grey livery 071's MM NIR 112 and 8113 MM B141 as preserved MM B134 as preserved IRM spoil wagons IRM Tara Mines Wagons IRM 42' Container Liners with updated C-Rail containers RPSI Cravens RPSI Mk2A's Any input would be appreciated, as I'm quite curious. Thank you!

    I have a feeling that they will be painted after reading these posts:

    Ha! I can see that! I could never decide on 121 but I'm lucky to have 124 ordered!
  10. DJ Dangerous
    Does anybody know how many of each version of the 121 models have been produced? The RPSI version was 300 units, I think? 121 and 124 are already sold out on the IRM website! How many of each have been allocated to IRM for sales?
  11. DJ Dangerous
    Wow! Even looking at the headlights, it looks as if the shade on each of the two models should be swapped around. If the top model of the two maintained its details but had the bloodier shade, it would look just like flange's photo.
  12. DJ Dangerous
    Thank you! So, would it be fair to say that the shade on the two locos should be swapped, with the details remaining as they are, to better reflect the progression of the liveries?
  13. DJ Dangerous
    So those last 19 packs of grey bubbles would go great with 121 and 135! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/cement-bubbles/products/cie-grey-cement-wagon-multi-pack-i
  14. DJ Dangerous
    So 121 and 135 could run with single-stripe Cravens and with grey Bubbles and be prototypically acurate?
  15. DJ Dangerous
    Wow!
  16. DJ Dangerous
    Any idea which of the two CIE liveries in the photos attached ran from when until when? The top one looks a better colour match for MM's ST Mk2D's, but has a black wheel instead of red, and a white roundel instead of orange. The second one has an "SA" affix, red wheel and the correct roundels, but is a much bloodier shade of orange than the ST coaches.
  17. DJ Dangerous
    So what O Gauge rolling stock would be passable with them?
  18. DJ Dangerous
    What RTR rolling stock will suit the grey 121's? Is it true that they survived less than a year in their grey livery? They entered service at the start of 1961?
  19. DJ Dangerous
    Dapol have an O Gauge Class 3F Jinty due out in UTA livery. Would this be an authentic UTA model, or is it just something similar repainted to look genuine? https://www.hattons.co.uk/448185/dapol_7s_026_008_class_3f_jinty_0_6_0t_19_in_uta_ulster_transport_authority_lined_black/stockdetail.asp
  20. DJ Dangerous
    112 looks very desolate there.
  21. DJ Dangerous
    Has anything more been announced or discovered regarding 224?
  22. DJ Dangerous
    It might work well with the RPSI Cravens, or the RPSI Mk2 set, which I think is still available from Marks Models: http://www.marksmodels.com/?pid=3981
  23. DJ Dangerous
    I got it, thank you!
  24. DJ Dangerous
    We also have 201's available as pushers, in a variety of liveries, from a variety of sellers. Agreed on the EGV's / GSV's / DVT's - bigger run of those as they'd be snapped up by anybody who has rakes of repaints etc that need completion - hence suggesting the bundles.
  25. DJ Dangerous
    I suspect that the way the coaches are packaged would be a factor. For example, if the DVT is sold seperately, IRM may end up selling loads of the DVT's, and be left with coaches that don't move. Whereas if they release two suburban bundles, one with a DVT and two coaches, another with three coaches to complement that, they don't end up with stock sitting around for ages. They could run twice as many DVT bundles as non-DVT bundles, if they projected that sales would be as such. I guess only they know themselves what is likely to work!
