  1. Who doesn't love a quickie at sunset? Two 1:43 Starlet Turbos, little legends, and @Barryd88 should be receiving his any time now.
  2. Had to have a closer look at IRM's first trainset, the ITG's A3R and the RPSI's Mk2 coaches! Up close and personal, these are just lovely lovely coaches. Again, lots of "No Smoking" signs so no work for @Rob! 547 rides a little higher than 181 and 300, maybe 1mm or 2mm. There's extra clearance between body and bogies compared to the other two. Is this prototypical? Sorry if the lighting is a bit off, hard to get a good balance with the sun in your face in this horrid heat.
  3. Once he doesn't confuse people by announcing it on April 1st. Any of our resident livery-editing genii who can slap IRM's A42 and A46 liveries onto 201's so we can compare???
  4. Lined green limited edition with flying snail logo? I'd buy one! Was it you who said that the pricing was going to be around €250 per loco, or am I confused? Does anybody here who has Paddy's ear know what the spec will be, regarding decoder access etc? Will existing 201 decoders work in the new batch? Would seem a bit mad if they didn't, as there'd be a lot of confusion further down the line.
  5. Also in the email from Rails of Sheffield, aside from the 071 / 111 Class info, was this, Murphy models 201's due 2025.
  6. Received an email from Rails this morning, Murphy Models 071's / 111's expected Q4 2024:
  7. Ah, it has it's downsides here. I'll try think of some and report back...
  8. Honestly, they are so detailed that they pass for O Gauge.
  9. I know how to make it up to you! Book yourself some flights, bring about a thousand "No Smoking" signs and I'll allow you apply them to all of my coaching stock.
  10. A few daylight pictures of Eleanor before it gets dark - probably only fifteen minutes before sunset.
  11. This bundle of joy was also delivered today, finally. These look exquisite, I desperately need somewhere to run some trains!
  12. Looking closely at the West Coast Mk2's, and all I can say is WOW! Best thing is that our very own @Rob is out of a job - the windows already have "No Smoking" signs! There's even a booklet included on the couplings as there are so many different options!
  13. That co-op green looks very similar to the Consent green that used to flood the Irish container liners! Wonder if the lettering can be removed with a cocktail stick?
  14. And, amazingly, these babies were briefly in stock again today and I nabbed two! https://www.accurascale.com/collections/mark-2-coaches/products/derby-rtc-test-service-vehicles Had to use an Irish address because of the shipping glitch, but what the Hell, they're worth the extra hassle and taxes!
  15. West Coast Mk2's arrived today! Lovely lovely coaches at first glance.
  16. Eleanor has to be one of the sexiest movie cars of all time! This is the 1:18 1967 Ford Mustang from Greenlight, based on the Eleanor from the 2000 remake of "Gone in Sixty Seconds". https://cochesdemetal.es/1967-shelby-gt-500e-eleanor-60-segundos-gris-negro-118-greenlight-12909
  17. Are there three Mk3's at Moyasta, or just the Mk3 DVT? @gm171 kk uploaded a great video of the Mk3 move to YouTube a few years back: And @thewanderer posted some pics of the move in their own thread, here: https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/3576-mk3s-to-the-west-clare-railway A few other Moyasta / West Clare Railway threads here that could maybe be combined, @BosKonay? https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/5653-west-clare-railway https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/15407-what-happened-to-the-west-clare
  18. "Tippex" livery is what you call both IR and IE when you're eyesight deteriorates to the point that you can't read the IR and IE logos.
  19. In short... Black and tan: Supertrain: IR: IE: Enjoy!
  20. It sounds like IRM have invested a lot in a very secure infrastructure, if that's the correct word for it. Maybe Murphy Models are not in a position to create such secure systems, but as @DiveController so eloquently put it, threatening their own client base as a result, probably isn't the nicest way of dealing with the fallout. There must be a solution out there!
  21. Fairly hammering along! That HST sounds totally flat out.
