I'm very fond of the plate girder bridge sides. Think that they look smashing. This kind of thing here:

Love the bridge side!

Vamonos!!! https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/2023/08/20/spain-win-the-womens-world-cup-after-final-win-over-england/

Mmmmmmh, The Cookie Bible...

Please don't say due to structural failure of the bookcases, because I'm cutting massive holes in the sides of mine!

They look the business!!!

Yours are going to be withheld indefinitely due to a lack of Blackstairs updates.

IXO Models TR099 1983 Volvo F10. Absolutely love the F10's and F12's. Prefer them like this, without the roofbox. Unbranded "Everest Model" eBay 1:48 containers on a butchered Edicola brand trailer as with previous posts.

What lighting kits are you using, @ttc0169?

And again: Next, you'll be telling us that the nose panels are DCC operated, and so is the snacks trolley!

Epic fail! The joke only works if you first make a post complaining that the mods try to make the forum a better place, then edit the entire post to your hard-earned advice.

Damn you and your perhapsing and teasing! I wonder how much October flights cost...

Will we see an O Gauge EP at the October show? Something to haul those O Gauge RPSI Mk2's maybe? And don't lie to me, there's no way that they're OO!

They look so good!!! Too much detail for OO Gauge, so these have to be a stealth O Gauge launch.

Something nice to come out of this thread is a select few members showing their true colours. We don't know how lucky we are to have this forum, not just the incredible resource that it is, and the wonderful people that we meet here, but to have the ear of the biggest Irish RTR manufacturer! Those who take it for granted will spam, bully and snipe, either aggressively or passive aggressively, but there are a handful who will stand up for what is right. To them, and to IRM, I say thank you. To the bullies and spammers, your actions speak louder than your words...

There's a phrase involving the pot and the kettle, but my memory fails me. Maybe better to practice using the search function and respect the forum's value, rather than insulting people. It's just nice. Always happy to help.

These posts should all be in THIS thread here: https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/10440-irm-announce-nir-enterprise-mark-2-coaches There is no need to keep spamming the fourm with duplicate threads. If you use the search facilty, you fill generally find that there is already a thread to which you can contribute. If you are struggling to find the correct thread, please drop a PM to another member asking for guidance. We're a generally helpful bunch when people are pleasant. Hope this helps.

Can't hear any difference at all myself, seems a bit of a pointless mod... As @irishthump says, it's "can" vs. "should".

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66530480 From the BBC: The world's longest rail tunnel has been shut to passenger services after a derailment in Switzerland causing damage that will take months to repair. Swiss authorities said there was "no indication" when the Gotthard Base Tunnel would reopen. Sixteen wagons derailed and are still stuck inside, a week after the derailment on 10 August. Opened in 2016, the Gotthard rail link took 20 years to build and cost more than $12bn (£8.2bn). National Swiss rail operator SBB chief executive Vincent Ducrot said on Wednesday that Gotthard was one of the safest tunnels in the world. "The fact that an accident like this could happen has hit us very hard," he said. "Fortunately, there were no injuries, though significant material damage was incurred." An investigation is being led by the Swiss Transportation Safety Investigation Board (STSB) and the public prosecutor's office of the Canton of Ticino. Rail operator SBB said in total, around 8km (4.9 miles) of track and 20,000 concrete sleepers need to be replaced. SBB said one side of the tunnel was unaffected and should be operating "in principle" for freight usage from 23 August, but passenger trains would not be able to use the unaffected side due to safety reasons. In a statement SBB said: "Since the derailment, the tunnel has been closed to passenger and freight traffic, and trains must be diverted. "Currently, there is no indication of how long the tunnel will be closed. "Diverting trains via the panorama route means longer journey times for passengers." The route cuts through the Alps and provides a high-speed link between northern and southern Europe. As well as transporting passengers, Gotthard is a key passage for cargo - particularly between Germany and Italy. More than two-thirds of rail freight traffic in the Alps going through the tunnel last year. Journey times will now take at least 60 minutes longer and passengers travelling internationally will need to change trains in Chiasso. Only trains travelling to and from Genoa and Venice will run directly, SBB said.

Can the lighting mod be done via a decoder, or does it have to be hard-wired?

Couldn't sleep last night while worrying about finances... But decided to pre-order this morning anyway...

Is the Garda Ford Transit Connect (76FTC007) a discontinued model, or a current model? https://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/products/ford-transit-connect-garda-76ftc007 Will IRM be getting any more diecast goodies in stock? The levels look a little low at the moment. https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/vehicles/availability_in-stock Might be a few stockings filled with Garda Land Rovers and Bus Eireann Transits if they come back into stock.

Lovely loco.
