Small parcel from @Westcorkrailway arrived there last week. If @leslie10646's new wagons are anything like these (these are not Leslie's), I'll be well happy!

Perhaps another announcement about an announcement.
Or a countdown to a countdown, but in that case, how do we know that it's not a countdown to a countdown to a countdown?
And how do we know when it's...

Will you be selling flatpack modules at the show to try get people into the FREMO community?

You know I had to get out of bed on this side of the world to see a timer at zero and nada. The lads need to stick to the old trains
Maybe it was a cancelled announcement rather than a cock-up. They did say that there may be more than one announcement this weekend, so maybe that was one that they had to hold back.

It’s bad enough from the outside, with the anticipation etc, but it must be agonising from within IRM Towers as they count down the seconds - they know what’s coming but can’t say a word until the time…… if I worked for IRM they would have to lock me away until the announcement as I wouldn’t be able to contain myself
I believe that the implied threat from @Warbonnet would be...

I can see all the arguments and benefits of all these alternatives but one not mentioned is slowing down. I guess we have become such a global village it is not possible to for anywhere to be even vaguely self sufficient. The rise of the 15 minute limitation society for movement adds to the arguments about traction for mobility.
A local friend in Wales now with some 20mph limitations has considered the family horse as a potential for the commute. It is self recharging on company grass! But garaging and running costs currently make it like a luxury car! I guess vet bills worse than the daylight robbery of just plugging in a lap top to reset a car that is too clever for its tyres.

Ahem!

One other issue is increase in velocity vs. reduced autonomy. Autonomy for our van was calculated at 65kph in optimum conditions. I've tried driving faster to see what happens, and it drastically reduces the autonomy.Apply the same logic to a battery electric freight loco and it's very easy to guess that it may not be viable.

You'll find Richard and I in Room C - we're Stand 14.
Over half of the run of Cement vans have gone, I'm delighted to say. Quite a few already in the post to new owners, including a certain gent in the Canaries.......
Richard has done transfers of the Crests of several large Irish railway companies - GNR, DNGR, GSR etc. On sale on my stand mini sheets at €5 and maxi sheets at €10.
Come and say hallo and let me know WHO you are - it's nice to put a face to a name (or pseudo name!).
Leslie
I hope that everybody who goes to your stand says "I'm WestCorkRailway"!

I remember at last years show being in the line with a member of this forum watching hooded men fly out the door with bags full of dickie taras and logging on here to find what the announcement was.
Joke's on them. None of them took the time to open the boxes. All of those dickie Tara's were bogie-less, and they'll have to come back this weekend to buy the bogies.

Big Island = 209,000 km² and about 65,000,000 people.
The Small Island that I was basically marooned on for five days is about 3 km² and around a thousand people.
Getting into the local metropolis from here involved a voyage through the lake by the fuel station - it's only been happening for fifty years now, so people are still getting used to it.
So I assume after fifty years, everybody has a boat stored, ready to go.

I reckon that you might be able to tempt the odd person with an impulse buy, probably moreso than taking orders.
Once you've got them hooked, after the initial impulse buy, and they need more, then order away.
