Not surprised, given the likely price range for future Irish coaches. Somebody nabbed themselves a bargain, there.

Wow, nice prices, specially on those buses. Somebody will snap them up for sure.

They have a couple of steam locos on offer, too, although not all as cheap as last time: https://railsofsheffield.com/products/dapol-7s-018-002-lswr-b4-0-4-0t-caen-brown-90 https://railsofsheffield.com/products/dapol-7s-005-004-0f-sentinel-4wvb-no7160-in-lms-livery https://railsofsheffield.com/products/dapol-7s-018-006-lswr-b4-0-4-0t-lined-green-91 https://railsofsheffield.com/products/dapol-7s-010-021-terrier-a1-lbsc-improved-green-wapping-0-6-0-tank-locomotive-no-71 I like that brown 0-4-0, would look fabulous running in a garden… If I had a garden!

O Gauge locos at bonkers prices from Rails of Sheffield. Anybody who’s ever thought about dabbling the toe in O Gauge, be it a garden railway, a short end to end shelf layout, a loop of Set-Track on the floor, or even a static model for “one day” would do well to have a look. BR blue era Class 09 shunter for £167 ex-VAT: https://railsofsheffield.com/products/gaugemaster-collection-gm7210203-class-09-016-br-blue-weathered-diesel-shunter-locomotive BR intercity era Class 09 shunter for £159 ex-VAT: https://railsofsheffield.com/products/gaugemaster-collection-gm7210204-class-09-012-dick-hardy-engineers-grey-diesel-shunter-locomotive There’s a ton of other stuff, too: https://railsofsheffield.com/collections/obsolete-warehouse-finds?filter.p.m.custom.availability=In+Stock&filter.v.price.gte=0&filter.v.price.lte=595&filter.p.m.custom.Scale=O+Gauge&sort_by=best-selling Most of it will be snapped up, fast, so get the creaky wallets out!

The whole range was €90 including Irish VAT per triple pack, and the unfitted are €125 including Irish VAT per triple pack. Forget about loyalty points and bundle discounts. They’re the base prices. That’s why I couldn’t justify them this time. The extra €10 odd per wagon adds up. Big thanks to @Sea Breezer for the reference screenshots in that last post.

What's the actual Euro pricing of the triple packs, including Irish VAT? The A/S site (not logged in to my account) says £109,96 GBP including VAT, which is around €125 - €130 EURO. This changes to €101,59 EURO INCLUDING VAT ("impuestos incluidos" for me) upon clicking the curency change icon hidden right down the bottom of the page, while still not logged in. Somebody up in Ireland has confirmed to me that they're seeing the same price, €101,59 EUR, while logged in, so it's not a Spain / Canary Islands issue. Mark's Models don't yet have them listed. Rails of Sheffield say £109,96 including VAT (not logged in to my account), which again is about €125-€130EURO. The original announcement says £109,95 GBP: Is the A/S website glitching out for EURO, showing the ex-VAT price as the VAT price? Or is the advertised price of £109,95 an error, and €101,59 EURO is the correct VAT price? Screenshots attached for reference.

I mean, I wouldn’t badger into buying another unless you have your heart sett on it… Handling fees up in Ireland are a lot cheaper than down here, but their taxes are a lot higher, so it probably works out just as expensive up there.

They usually put the remainder on sale after dispatching pre-orders, plus Mark’s Models and Rails of Sheffield will probably stock them.

LOL, have you tried looking for rocking horse poop instead?

Wow, that is expensive! £165 GBP plus £21 GBP postage, so €215 Euro in real money, plus import tax, plus duty, plus €30 to €70 in handlng fees… And five days still to go! Nah, you’re alright!

Worth bearing in mind, as per THIS post, that the cab lights (F23) and shunt lights (F12) are hard-wired backwards, so both cab lights illuminate simultaneously instead of in one cab only, whereas the shunt lights only come on at one end, not both. Is it possible that this affects how the sound decoder interacts with the loco? Roads And Rails posted a simple fix for the wiring, here:

Lovely! Had been hoping for 60074 in Puma livery!

Just found your video on YouTube, @Patrick Davey. Very well put together, hopping between model and prototype seamlessly. Also functions as a great guide for anybody new to the hobby. Great videography, if that’s a real word. Only suggestion is that it needs more cowbell.

Unfitted H Vans have just arrived according to the Project Updates page!

Abort? Retry? Fail?

That sounds suspicious in itself!

They do sit very well together, the Murphy / Bachmann Mk2A’s with the A/S / IRM Mk2B/C’s. The A/S / IRM IE livery Mk2’s have to be one of the best model coaches of the last few years, and the Murphy Bachmann models don’t look out of place beside them.

Great prices for the Flats and the 121!

Once they’re not the old chunky TLC’s, it’ll be grand.

Or… Tongue Behind Cheek?

That’s Blatantly Clear… Just seems a very pointed question, from somebody who is very involved in the hobby…

I see @Nick asking on RMW if the “TBC” for the 22000’s stands for “They’ve Been Cancelled”… Fingers crossed that’s not the case!

I don’t think he wants to buy, he wants to use his usual method, farce. Oh, wait, I mean force. Nothing remotely farcical about this man.

Loved reading that, smashing story!

This looks stunning! Remember the early days when IRM order numbers only had four digits? The humble ballasts, then a loco, then British outline, then bringing a real loco to a show, then having a loco named after you, then designing a real-world loco livery… What next? You have to be supervillains in disguise, and this is all your pathway to global domination. I know, maybe you can buy Greenland and start a town called Accuraville.
