No waaaaaayyyy!

I'm betting on IRM 071's before the turn of the decade, with a special limited edition 319 Retales variant just for me!

Nice looking 2700 for €200. Includes DCC chip. Graham's Resprays seem to have been good. The lining in particular on this one is well done. There was a botched looking one for €300 a few weeks back. https://touch.adverts.ie/models/irish-model-railway-iarnrod-eireann-2700-dmu/29286004

Few interesting bits on eBay.

Are you Chinese?

Nothing concrete but expect an IRM steam announcement soon. Wouldn't be surprised by a bus announcement this month, and a Bubble re-run announcement in the coming months. Boskonay said something last autumn about having several new "ranges" coming, which is super scary.

Royal Mail International Bulletin: https://www.royalmail.com/international-incident-bulletin Says that they have re-started a lot of their services but not all.

Sorry, one more question. Is an Accurascale.eu account invalid for Accurascale.com? Tried logging in using my Accurascale.eu account but it says that it doesn't exist. I know that my Accurascale account is distinct from my IRM account, that's not the issue, it's just to find out if I need two seperate Accurascale accounts.

Wow! That GWR green is something else! Are the Accurascale Exclusive ranges only available from the UK site, or will they be available on the European / global site? I only ask as the likes of the EWS Class 31's are UK only, not available on the European / global site.

D'oh, missed out again!

Not so cheap these days: https://www.ebay.es/itm/402686751554

Approaching 1200h on a Monday... Could this be your lucky day???

Not sure if this Murphy 143 sold or was withdrawn, but €170 wasn't a bad price - if you don't get hit for additional VAT: https://www.ebay.es/itm/255960304751

So all of those sole traders in their Transits are just villains!

Corgi Mk3 Ford Transit that somehow survived my childhood largely intact.

And at an outstanding price, too, less than €350! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/railcar-class-22000-icr/products/ie-22000-class-icr-3-car-in-2020-ir-livery-with-blue-doors-cycle-graphic

Do you search for Egyptian models often? I guess the amount of clothing would determine whether your searches are forum-friendly or not.

Makes sense I guess. Plus, the 170 looks a bit funky for a 22000. A GWR 800 with the pantographs removed would look better.

I see that this is also on Adverts.ie for a similar price - not bad considering what Chris charges for these when new: https://touch.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/irish-rail-model-railway-ie-22000-dmu-3-car-set/28910438 Says that it's unavailable. I assume that means that it was withdrawn? https://www.ebay.es/itm/354516529745

Pair of IRM Taras for €80, great price, sold-out at IRM and Marks Models: https://touch.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/model-railways-irish-railway-models-tara-mines-wagons-x-1packs-g/28777219 Pair of IRM Spoil wagons for €110, good price, specially for this particular seller, and a good way to get yourself some empty Flats for C-Rail containers: https://touch.adverts.ie/models/irish-railway-models-wagons/28361598 Whole model railway for sale, including stock, for €850: https://touch.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/model-railway/27123713

I suspect that it's a combination of climate, economic situation and the older generation not having that throw-away mentality of today. Lots of shiny new cars on the roads here but lots of cars that you wouldn't have seen in Ireland the past twenty years. Video and a few stills of him trundling past, with Boluda and Tex cameos on the TF1 behind, at the end - colour is a bit off as the original video was almost all just shadows so I had to lighten it up like crazy and drop the contrast.

Fairly ancient but fairly common here.

Maybe the next "major" announcement will be that the schedule of announcements is ready.

Lovely shot!

Just saw this on the way to the bus stop. No containers in sight but still pretty cool.
