EDIT: To add, the currency glitch on the A/S site is still there. Numerical values are in Euro but currency sign is Sterling. Downloaded invoice has correct values AND correct currency sign, but account section of website is still faulty. As per:

I tried following the old IRM link today and it redirects to A/S automatically, so I assume that the cutoff date has passed? Where and when was the cutoff date announced? I seem to have missed it. I can't find any date mentioned in mailouts nor here on the forum. Couple of questions... How does the new VIP status work? I appear to have been demoted one VIP level, any reason for this? There's no VIP history visible on the A/S platform before March 13th 2025. When will this be updated to show our full histories from the IRM platform? How does one download invoices from the A/S EU platform before it is shut down? I have four orders on that platform and there is / was no visible download button. The invoices are also not included in the emails sent out when the orders were placed, shipped etc. Going to accurascale.eu today also redirects to accurascale.com. I understand that this is not a support channel, but since support often takes weeks to reply to emails nowadays, I thought I'd reach out here. Support was missing for five weeks over Christmas and New Year, and I haven't had a reply to my last email, sent a couple of weeks back. Thanks!

The eBay coaches are usually overpriced, and IRM re-runs are usually cheaper than the first run - presumably because they have covered start-up costs for the model. With that in mind, I’d wait for the next run of coaches.

Welcome to the forum! A/S / IRM will definitely re-use the tooling to run more coaches in the future, and the Hunslet livery options are a large hint at seeing the maroon Mk2's at some stage. With the Irish market, it's not always always, or often, feasable for a manufacturer to have several different models in stock at any one time, so it's a case of buying what you like, when it's available, and waiting a little for the rest.

Always lovely to see Ballyercall and Ercall Heath videos, and a breath of fresh air to see actual models on the forum lately! Catching up via YT this morning.

Might be some gems in there, for anybody lucky enough to be living up in Ireland!

Just caught the YouTube update and had to log in. Great video, as always, nostalgia gold. Love the push-pull Mk3 set. Is the DVT Silver Fox or DC Kits or something else?

Not so crazy… OP here.

Little bundle of joy arrived today! Thanks, @MOGUL!

Was wondering about that, but since it’s a lifetime guarantee, and IRM / A/S products are unique, it probably wouldn’t make sense to require an invoice.

That’s handy to know. How does one download invoices from the A/S EU platform before it is shut down?

Does that mean that old orders, delivered orders, archived orders, and fulfilled orders will not be migrated, so for our order history, we use the IRM and A/S EU platforms? Or they will be migrated at some stage and the two older platforms will be defunct?

Got these two cheap as they are damaged… Couldn’t say no!

Tired of Trump’s Tariffs? Boycott American beer, drink Spanish instead:

Love these two shots!!! Been missing TJ updates lately as they get buried so quickly, do delighted to catch one today!

Exactly what I was thinking. This is, I think, the fourth simultaneous thread on the same topic. Have held off logging into my own A/S account for now. Took video of both IRM and A/S accounts pre-merge, using Bandicam. Will wait until A/S announce the move is finished before contacting Support. Other threads on the same topic, IRM / A/S streamlining both brands: https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/18164-order-confusion/ https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/18106-irm-is-changing https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/18073-irm-wagons Maybe merge the four and add a title like "Please Bear With Us as IRM is Evolving" or something like that.

All of them!!! I understand why some folk may be put off, but I’m over the moon. I’ve wanted an 800 Class for years, and years, and years, but never had the time, energy nor skills to tackle a kit. Working a lot, maybe too much, puts me firmly in the “box opener” and “display case” brigades, but it is what it is. The variety in the hobby keeps it rich. I’ll place an order for one, maybe even two, at the weekend, and they will definitely be highly likely to spend the first twenty years of their lives looking gorgeous and not doing much. Can’t believe that we finally have one of these! Thank you, IRM, and Happy Birthday! Now, about that 1980’s DART for your fifteenth birthday…..

Ed O'Neill / Irish Retro is gauging interest in a Bus Éireann LD Resin model, as per the email received: Hi, you previously expressed interest in a Bus Éireann LC die cast 1/87 scale model which did not proceed due to insufficient orders. We are now considering running a small batch of a Bus Éireann LD resin 1/76 scale kit model and this email is merely to gauge potential orders. Pre-orders are not being taken at this time. If you are interested, please respond, advising if you would prefer a kit (as in you make it up) or a completed model (as in we make it up). Kits will cost in the region of c.€90 exclusive of transfers whilst completed models including painting and transfer application will be c € 160, both costs subject to confirmation. Thanks and regards Ed O'Neill Here's the CONTACT FORM for Irish Retro.

I’ll take a few grey 071’s if they’re being donated! Much obliged!

If I die tomorrow, I’ll do so happy in the knowledge that we finally have this in RTR model form!

DJD Senior received his confirmation email today, so he'll be there. "Ambitious" means that it's an 800 Class (please take my money and kidneys), or a collaboration with Murphy Models and Oxford Rail to bring a train pack containing an 071 loco and Mk3 coaches to the market, or the "ambitious" part is the RPSI loco sitting outside the event on a trailer. Either way, Senior will be there!

Aside from the email confirming that you had entered your details on the form, I don't think there was an actual confirmation email.

That’s the one. It was Roads And Rails who came up with a simple wiring fix. Which of your profiles, though?

I don't think the Class 60 sound profile has been released. The pre-production samples given to reviewers a few months back had Class 66 decoders:
