That makes sense. We have Hunslets on the way, 800’s on the way, 071’s on the way, 201’s on the way, 22000’s on the way and DART+ on the way, in the “powered” category. Adding a new-tool on top at this point in time seems reckless and feckless. The Irish market being so small relative to the UK market has to increase / decrease figures by a huge magnitude, too.

Sounds reputable!

Certainly looked like it. Gobshites packing these things never seem capable of thinking, hey, this is gonna travel 4000km, let’s pack it well. At least they remembered the AccuraEnds, so even though it was bouncing around inside with three pieces of brown paper, the box looks nice - as does the loco!

€400 for an A Class????? Jaysus, Class A would be cheaper. No international shipping, and only visible via the url, none appear via a search, so no surprise there.

A Class, and not Class A?

Silver Fox C Class combined with SSM detailing kit would probably do the job in the interim, so to beat that, the 3D printed model would need to be very detailed. Possible that the slow-selling A Classes are only slow in the UK. The few that I’ve seen in here and on Adverts.ie have sold very quickly. Just out of curiosity, I searched ebay, just now, even using the co.uk platform, to no avail. No A Classes show up. Perhaps British sellers are put off by post-BrExit customs shenanigans, and don’t want to deal with the hassle of shipping outside the UK.

Must be UK-only eBay listings as almost none have shown up for me. I can only see UK-only listings using the url, and can only buy using a UK address. So you say there’s no demand for more A Class locos, that’s a shame. An A Class re-run could be announced tomorrow with the locos already in stock, and we’d be none the wiser. Probably at least three or four years before having a C Class on sale, and delaying the Park Royals that long wouldn’t make sense.

I’ve only seen a handful of second-hand A Classes for sale, maybe five or ten over the past year or two. @Fowler4f had several for sale on eBay at one stage, bulking up those figures. Unless A/S have new tools ready for the C Class or AEC, we’d be in for a long long wait.

Trying to figure out whether it would be great cross-merchandising, or too much for stretched wallets to take.

ICPHOWWWARRR - 22000 Class Railcars In OO from IRM!
DJ Dangerous replied to Warbonnet's topic in News
But paradoxically, all ten models are still available to pre-order, so maybe I shouldn’t be getting my hopes up. -
I wonder if the Park Royal release will be pushed back a bit to coincide with a small re-run of these.

South Dublin Model Railway Club - 50 Years (1975 -2025)
DJ Dangerous replied to DartStation's topic in News
Bit of competition for the last few, blood shall be spilled! -
Lovely livery alright, and the application is top notch. Model railways in general seem to be getting more and more expensive, as the limits are pushed further and further for detail and fidelity. However, I have to agree on UK outline pricing vs. Irish outline pricing, and as a result of feeling that pinch, I’m veering towards UK outline instead of Irish.

Any chance of a few Tayto-wrapped pallets?

And you have that crate of white paint with you! That’s more like it!

Absolutely class!

Picked this up on eBay a week or two back and it arrived the other day, definitely my cheapest bus so far.

The Junction never disappoints, @RedRich, always a pleasure to see.
