@TimO, I think, mentioned in one of the Mk2D threads that the bogie mounting will not be compatible this time around.

Thanks for posting that, @Patrick Davey! Great interview from @Warbonnet. Although, I'm rather heartbroken to hear him say that my idea for making an O Gauge A Class more viable won't work! In fairness, the IRM lads have said that repeatedly here on the forum, that IRM would barely be sustainable without Accurascale. Although not a British modeller, I have been buying some Accurascale models, to do my bit for the future of the Irish market. I was quite struck by what Fran said near the middle of the clip, something like "The best modelmaker in the world is @Darius43 and we have him locked in a basement in China". Also funny to hear that there was outrage over the Ruston 88D not being " big" enough for their first O Gauge loco! I missed the outrage, but do have one pre-ordered via Hatton's, again to do my bit for the longer term future of the Irish market.

Tara Junction makes the weekend feel like a real weekend!

Lovely work, as usual, @Dempsey!

Cracking looking buses!

Your photo archive is an absolutely invaluable resource, @Irishswissernie. I usually catch up a few days at a time. The detective work that you tease out of other members in the process of the posts adds an immeasurable amount. Thank you for doing this.

Wasn't sure what colour your Supra is so went with the red.

So, the lads at Inchicore saw @Westcorkrailway's comments on the 141's and decided to get one of them ship shape and bundled off to Maam Cross. Here we see her arriving with a Garda escort: Our very own @ttc0169 was just behind the Gardai in his Supra: So TTC parked up and the unloading took place: And off went the convoy: 177 was coupled up to the ballast train for some shunting: Once that was complete, she went off to move the staff quarters: My little tribute to the heroes soldiering away at the Connemara Railway! https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/8723-connemara-railway-project Thank you so much!

Pre-orders for IRM products appear under your "Orders" in your IRM account. Pre-orders for Murphy Models (and your IRM brand) pre-orders appear here: https://irishrailwaymodels.com/apps/preorder_portal So, your IRM pre-orders should appear in both portals, and your Murphy Models pre-orders only via that link. If they don't appear anywhere, it's time to take a knee and start praying.

Aul' @JasonB is very quiet... Wonder if he has any new 1:18 monsters to share. Might highjack his thread for some of my own 1:18 stuff if he doesn't get his act together.

Wait, what? The 1945-1950 maroon coaches are already available? I thought JHB was just gauging interest?

When I go to the Chinese, the chicken curry and egg fried rice come together, and I like my trains like my Chinese. All delivered together and loaded with MSG and chilli.

Sorry, I should have been more specific, but @GSR 800 and @Galteemore have already jumped in to clarify and answer. Thanks for that, guys.

And the red variant for comparison:

And if only YOU knew somebody who could bribe IRM with lemon cookies! I'd probably buy one or two coaches, but it's quite a restrictive period as regards pulling power. Now, if Hatton's were to launch them AFTER an IRM steam loco had been formally announced, that would change my perspective. Are the Hattons Genesis range 21mm-friendly? Sorry if that's already been asked / answered, too lazy to go back over the thread.

Renault R420 with MSC 20' boxes, again on a butchered Edicola / Salvat trailer. Can't decide whether the trailers look better with or without the wheel arches. Must dig out the red R420, too. Enjoy!

A few pics without the unrealistic blue sky. Been very lucky to pick up some of @leslie10646's new vans, along with some of @Mayner's wagons and brakevans, and even an older @Marks Models van from @Westcorkrailway! The likes of the @JasonB and the grey-steam-era brigade must be foaming at the mouth with jealousy.

If I may respond, point by point... 1. Six creatively placed wagons! 2. Creatively placed camera and no layout! 3.

Want me to upload a photo?

Great to see the work unfolding before our very eyes. Some very shiny looking orange and black coaches nestled away on Platform 3. Are the track panels held together using those bits of metal while in storage, as wood would rot?

Sorry, @Angus, I kind of went for broad strokes to keep it simple. I'm sure each broad category could also be broken down further. I assume you're one of the two "elitists" in the "Other" category, as you've specified here. The poll is just to get a general feel for things. I'm sure that @BosKonay can add a few categories further down the line, when the "Other" category warrants it. Probably not worth it just yet with only two members selecting it.

Sorry, @Galteemore, I kind of went for broad strokes to keep it simple. I'm sure N Gauge could also be broken down into 1:144 and 1:150, while OO Gauge could be 16,5mm, 18,2mm, 20,2mm, 21mm etc. Just to get a general feel for things. I'm assuming it'll be 90% OO Gauge, 5% N Gauge, 5% O Gauge, 1% others, with a 1% margin of error.
