Excellent news! i have a stack of 28mm axles here waiting for them.

Starting a new thread listing 3D printed products would be a great idea, go for it! Enda had no plans on doing O Gauge 42’ 6” Flats, 47’ Flats, nor loco bodies, last time we spoke. Dapol Class 66 may be a good starting point for a 201 but I’m not sure how similar they are up close.

Is there any alternative platform to Shapeways these days? I did speak with the Shapeways chap that I obtained the O Gauge 47’ Flat from, via PM on RMW, and he’s retired altogether. Such a shame, as that looks excellent. There was a huge amount of Irish stuff available on the platform, from N Gauge to 3mm to OO Gauge to 1:48 scale, diesels, wagons, small detailing parts like Mk2 coach roof vents, you name it. Has this wonderful collection been lost forever or are the designers slowly migrating to another platform? If the mods would be so kind as to merge this thread with this one, that’d be great: https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/17695-shapeways I know that forum member @m0rris, AKA CMAC, has found an alternative printer for his 3000 / 4000 Class: https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/8868-ni-railways-30004000-class-models-by-cmac-models-on-shapeways-anyone-interested Personally, I’m after something for IRM’s one-day-maybe O Gauge 071 to haul - aside from @murphaph‘s Mk2’s and oil tanks!

Great to see another RTR wagon out there for the overworked and underpaid to enjoy. Thanks, @Past-Avenue! Are the chassis 21mm-friendly or strictly 16,5mm?

The KC’s look incredible!!!

And the lovely pallet cements in the background again!

Those bagged cement wagons are excellent, @ttc0169!

No containers, just D-HFBI (a Bell 412EP helicopter) carrying out either a rescue or a training exercise this afternoon. Amazing seeing the guy winched up and down a couple of times. Balls of steel. Not a short watch so may not be to everybody’s taste:

What we’re gonna do right here is go back…..

The TransAero plane was for some camping thing: And: https://www.inspiredcamping.com/the-glamping-trend-takes-flight-in-ireland/ This looks interesting:

1/12 vs. 1/18 vs. 1/43…

A 21mm 071, the next best thing while we wait for @BosKonay‘s O Gauge 071!

Grubby looking re-purposed box appeared a few months back when the refurbishment work started near one of my colonies. Looks the be EXX-590068 (2210), an Eagle Express passive-ventilated 8’6” 20’ box. 7th digit is missing so no exact ID.

Dropped @GSI345 an email over the weekend, buses posted yesterday, happy days!

Stunning photo-realism! Even more excited, now. Haven’t heard from @GSI345 yet about the balance on mine, nor where he wants to post them, but will hang on a few more days before panicking, as I know he’s dealing with all of the orders by himself.

Resin body with brass parts, according to the SSM website. Possible that @Weshty switched from full brass to a hybrid resin / brass at some stage. I’d assume that the chassis requirements are the same but would suggest contacting Dez to confirm, before taking his very last kit.

Athearn SD9 and Hornby / Lima Class 55 chassis according to THIS thread.

Nearly sure that one of the A/S / IRM lads posted in the Park Royal thread a week or two back, saying that their attention would now turn to the 22000’s and 800’s. Landing this quarter seems unlikely. I’d say next quarter or the following one are more likely. They’ll need to assess prototypes, and packaging, to avoid a Park Royal repeat, before even signing off. It’ll be a few months after that, at the earliest, before they arrive. No news is good news and all that.

Yup, there are eleven DC variants and 11 DCC sound variants. Mark’s have / had all eleven DC variants and one DCC sound variant in stock.

These will look wonderful once sprayed orange:

22 in total; 11 DC and 11 DCC Sound. Mark’s only have one DCC Sound model, the rest are DC.

England are through to the semi’s! Delighted for them!

12 variants still in stock at Mark’s Models, including IRM1327, Falcon in later livery, long sold-out at Accurascale.

How are those bookcases holding up, @Edo???

Defo, @Rob! Maybe we’ll see more Hueston North and Conyngham Road updates once they arrive?
