Crap, I'd better sign off!

Another one already has his IR coaches! Envious as Hell here.

You've already received yours??? Sorcery!

Bit of a long shot, but following on from THIS post on RMWeb, does anybody here know which of the UK Mk2B/C coaches ended up with Irish bogies? Was it only Mk2B BFK's and only a specific livery? My replacement Irish gauge bogies have arrived - IRM were super fast at getting them sent out once I got my backside in gear and gave them a tally. But, I'm going to end up with a few UK gauge B4 bogies to spare, and would like to know which UK coaches would be suitable for swapsies! Thanks in advance!

Talk about living in a box...

If only you knew a man who could source some 40' containers for your collection...

Well said, @StevieB. It's easy to forget the pressure others can be under at times. We're lucky to have IRM! OIl tanks re-ordered successfully this morning, happy days!!!

I'd be more interested in a Thomas set if you had one.....

Solido have released TWO different EG Civic hatchbacks recently. Haven't received mine, yet, but here are the links for any car nuts like @Keitheg6 and @Barryd88: https://cochesdemetal.es/1991-honda-civic-eg6-blanco-escarcha-118-solido-s1810401 https://www.loisir-et-miniature.com/voitures-de-collection-miniatures-coupes-sports/7954-honda-civic-eg6-1991-118-s1810402-solido-3666964640170.html Happy spending!

The benefits of BrExit, yay, thanks to the angry bald wierdoes who voted for it.

The IR livery Mk2B/C packs are now showing as in stock! Only 8 units of Pack a left, so get the fingers out... https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/mark-2-coaches

Hit the nail on the head there, WCR. People have been crying out for something like this for years, an Irish loco for the price of a pack of wagons. Order already placed for mine!

Getting psyched for these babies, specially after the NIR ones arriving the other day! Question on the bogies. Do any of these have B5's or is it all B4's? Don't forget to budget for those two 1:18 EG hatchbacks from Solido!

Awesome!!! Defo need one of these babies! The livery looks lovely. What does @jhb171achill have to say on it?

This has happened to me several times with items being sent FROM Ireland to Las Canarias. The AED (Advanced Electronic Data) has been missing or incomplete, even though there has been a physical CN23 declaration attached, and the parcel has been rejected up in Madrid automatically. Both physical and electronic declarations must be complete for goods entering and leaving the EU.

On the topic of a noisy day…..

I believe that the generator coach in each of the three NIR liveries shipped with two B5's instead of a B5 and a B4. Hands up, I'm open to correction on that, I'm basing that evaluation solely on my own packs, and I apologise in advance if I'm wrong! If I am correct, anybody who has requested replacement B4 bogies from IRM is likely to have one spare B5 bogie after swapping theirs, so there should be people out there with unwanted B5's once replacements start landing. I've seen several pictures and videos of generators here on the forum. Maybe dropping PM's to those particular posters, and putting a "Wanted" post in the "For Sale or Wanted" area, might be a good idea.

And saying hello to Courageous...

And with a few truckin' buddies...

On a lighter note, still sucking diesel here...

LOL, calm down, take deep breaths, and you'll be grand. I'm sure one of the lads will be on over the next few days to explain what happened. Think I paid for my NIR Mk2B/C coaches about two years before they arrived, so a few days here and there is tolerable. I get that that, of course, but @Warbonnet did then say that they're nearly here, only this week. Probably something simple like the ship was delayed or customs were slow. IRM's new logistics guy is pretty sharp, no flies on him, and he wants his fuel oil tanks just as much as anybody else, LOL

The update wasn't good enough, or the container not arriving wasn't good enough?

Most recent update was Tuesday 25th of June, saying that they are not far away from delivery.
