Looks like both:

I wonder if it would be easier to re-number them as 184, rather then change the vents? The last 184 was in later IE livery so no clash there.

What were the Bulleid triangulated chassis used for aside from the single and double corrugated opens? I saw somebody mention H vans, too. Did any survive into the modern era under other guises? When did the Permanent Way ones enter and leave service?

Aside from tasty cookies, and tasty tidbits regarding IRM's NIR Mk2 coaches at the Blackrock show? For reference, here are the duplicate IRM NIR Mk2 threads: https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/10443-irm-gets-enterprising-with-nir-mark-2-coaches https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/12696-nir-delivery-date https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/12751-nir-mark-2-update-december-2022 https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/14126-nirrpsi-mk2-coaches/#comment-209684

I was asking which one so that he could contact the seller and ask them to hold it for him.

Hopefully, that link comes in handy for members, to save them mining through emails from months ago.

Possible that yesterday's flacid anti-climax was a cancelled announcement. Whose bus stand? There were at least four different bus stands listed.

Any updates on the other Murphy Models projects from the Blackrock show today? Not the 141 / 181's nor the Mk2D's, as they have their own threads, but the likes of the 201's, the Mk3's, and the grey 071's mentioned by @DonderBlitzen?

Just to clarify, is this the correct url for members to log-in and see their pre-orders? https://irishrailwaymodels.com/apps/preorder_portal

Lovely stuff, @Jack_Dunboyne! Great to see the layout progress from the first two boards on your dining table to this! Fair play for the commitment.

I've been down south for so many years that my Irish geography is getting hazy, but are you saying that @Louth is in Dublin?

Sounds like the Mk2D's are due AFTER the 141's, a relief to me, and presumably to many others And the other thread on the new run of Mk2D's is here:

These few posts seemed like a relevant update to this thread: So, new 141's probably due late January, but bear in mind that the Chinese New Year often delays things a little.

The snails are slow making their way onto the forum.

Lovely stuff! More 071's and 201's will hopefully take the wind out of the sails of the used market. And great news that the 141's will arrive after Christmas bonuses have been paid!

Dying to hear and see more of the current and pending projects!

Was just thinking the same about the wagons, but the Ruston's are too far off. IRM's first O Gauge loco will definitely be an A Class. Probably not this side of Christmas, but let's not rule anything out!

The diecast flooring is a brilliant idea!

Yup.

I wonder whether the couplings are functional or just decorative?

The "Permanent Way" pack has piqued my curiosity - any info on that particular variant?

And not only beet wagons, a whole range of wagons on that underframe!

Just hang on there another 36 minutes...

If you're buying the flights, count me in. I'll bring sunshine and lollipops for all!
