Cheers Rich, it will be well worth it!

Hi Everyone, Just a little note to say that Irish Railway Models will have some news this coming Wednesday evening. It will be well worth logging on for! Thanks, Irish Railway Models

We're planning to make that announcement at the October show in Dublin but we will confirm closer to the time

Of course! However, research for the artwork is one of the areas that's slowing us up a little. So if anyone has any photos and other reference material on the bubbles please PM me. All reference material will be used for research only, will be returned and not published publicly. The sooner we get them, the sooner we can make them!

The development of the bubble is progressing quicker than expected, but is still a bit behind the ballast. When we get an update from the factory on timelines etc we will let you all know

Hi Railer, Thanks for the feedback. Both the forum and Facebook are important channels for us, as well as the website. We did share a number of bubble CAD pics on the forum previously http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/5516-IRM-Cement-Bubble-CAD-Preview?highlight=Cement+bubble and the early tooling of the ballast wagon http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/5634-Irish-Railway-Models-Announce-Additional-Packs-of-CIE-Ballast-Wagons-in-4mm-Scale/page2 We'll do our best to make them stand out more and update our website further. As you can appreciate we're doing this on top of our day jobs so sometimes things can slip through the cracks. We will say now however, that you should all keep an eye on the forum next Wednesday evening (Aug 3rd) for some IRM related news

Cheers Rich, finishing line is getting closer! I imagine one of us will write a book on it some day. You wouldn't believe how much work has to go on behind the scenes but we're truly grateful and delighted by the support from you all in the hobby. Without it this wouldn't be possible!

Latest news from Irish Railway Models including artwork for all three wagon packs https://irishrailwaymodels.com/index.php/2016/07/27/artwork-complete-on-the-irish-railway-models-cie-ballast-hopper/

Used them a good few times via mail order. Top notch crew to deal with. Find it great for freight cars!

It sadly is!

Hi Patrick, We're more likely to do a run in gypsum and dolomite guises in the future than undecorated packs.

I missed pretty much anything of interest running today but I did bag my first raccoon! 233 Raccoon by franburke, on Flickr

Happy Friday everyone! Here's the artwork for the first pack of Ballast Wagons. We hope you like them!

Pretty sure I saw the Viggen on its approach to Baldonnell over Tallaght around noon. Awesome looking thing it has to be said.

Great shots men, gutted I missed it

134 now at Connolly too.

Rumours are she'll make the trip later today. Could just be a minor fault so

The 2 141s made it. The 121 was left behind

Wonder when it will be rescheduled for? Stuck in work myself atm.

I was going to throw a banana in the air, take a pic of it and tweet it to them saying I spotted it in Dublin. Sadly I ate our last banana about an hour beforehand.
