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.

It'll be Me3 when I get home tonight. Have already spoken with Mr. @murphaph to see if he can weather a few. Does anybody know what the decoder access is like? I remember some members, possibly @gm171 kk and @WRENNEIRE, posting photos from the Raheny show last October, but can't remember what was said about decoder access.

There was no Pre-order button for the locos earlier, only for the coaches, so that helps!

Again! How or where does one express one's interest?

Duuuun dun. Duuuun dun. Dun-dun dun-dun dun-dun dun-dun...

Based on what has been listed by Hatton's, and whatever photos and comments have been posted here on the forum, the list would look to be as follows. Hopefully, this is of help to anybody who needs to plan or budget. This is not an official list, and could be completely incorrect, but I feel like it's going to be accurate enough.

The 20' HC's must look a bit wierd to you but it's almost all that we have in 20' boxes, here.

COACHES! Assemble...

Patience, you two! We're not all old, rich and retired... The bank will be well and truly broken for the next nine months as things stand.

Let's hope not! March 2024 is soon enough!

Two 6,1m x 2,9m / 20' HC boxes (CRXU-0797504 and EMTU-3510016) near IKEA in San Miguel on Wednesday 2nd, bit late in posting the pictures!

Well...

My MetroRiders have finally arrived at Customs in Madrid! Won't be long, now...

All this Christmas??? Jaysus.

Just wondering if any more thought has been given to 21mm bogie and lighting kits for pre-IRM coaches?

How very dare you??? Don't you know? BIRD is the word!

I'm sure that I've seen it for sale somewhere online. SSM or DC Kits or somewhere. Beware DC Kits, though, you're likely to get tartan paint by mistake. When I was a lad...

I like your shirt.

Just email R&R and put an end to it all!

@Fowler4f says that the white grease is not for model railway locos, here: However, @Robert Shrives says here that white grease is for reducing gear noise: Can you email R&R and ask? According to their website: White Grease: "A tube of grease for model train servicing, ideal for improving slow or noisy models, a small amount can be applied to bearings, gears and drive shafts to maintain smooth running of the loco. It’s safe for plastic and metal gears and won’t dry out either."

Pic of the two side by side, maybe?
