afraid not. Sorry!

Thanks everyone for your very kind words! We're delighted that the As are finding lots of love and homes as they continue to bounce out the door on a daily basis. Supertrain really was an iconic livery for these. We only have a few left in that livery too. A1 special edition is also running low, and with that wooden box and being limited to just 250 pieces is only going to increase in value in the coming years. Cheers! Fran

Oh my! That's sensational Jason!

Pile dwindling further. Thanks everyone!

We did an audit of stocks this morning and the next endangered species are... 018 - Supertrain - 13 left in stock - https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/a-class-locomotive/products/018-a-class-locomotive 027 - Supertrain - 14 left in stock - https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/a-class-locomotive/products/027-a-class-locomotive A1 - Special Edition Silver - 24 left in stock - https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/a-class-locomotive/products/a1-a-class-locomotive 056 - IR Supertrain Transition Livery - 29 left in stock - https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/a-class-locomotive/products/056-a-class-locomotive Once they're gone, they're gone! Cheers! Fran

Cheers Bob, we've made plenty so you should be all good! Cheers! Fran

Taras and ferts too of course. Timber wagons, 47 ft flats, CPWs too I think?

They also feature rotating axle caps, easy conversion to 21mm, separate detail parts such as brake actuators and metal wheelsets.

Time for another addition to our Accurascale Exclusives range; and this time it's the turn of our humble little Chaldron wagons. The Chaldrons have caused quite the stir and our model was met with a surprise when we first announced them in October. The genesis of our "Powering Britain" range has gone down very well indeed, with over 80% of the production run now sold out. We were able to sneak one more pack onto the production line, which is now busy assembling our first batch of these distinctive hoppers. Welcome to the NCB internal user pack! The Prototypes Our exclusive pack consists of Ex-S.C.C National Coal Board - Three early period Darlington built Chaldrons, as present at Stargate Colliery in the 1950s to the early 1960s. At Stargate Colliery, the lines from Emma and Greenside Collieries converged, with the Emma branch being worked by a stationary engine based at Stargate, which itself was joined to the ex-NER lines near Heathfield, halfway between Stella and Addison, by a self-acting incline. The stationary engine at Stargate was replaced in 1948 by locomotive working and this practice continued until 1961, when the whole system closed down, the Chaldrons having been in continuous use since the mid-19th century. Used to supply coal for the boilers at Stargate and Emma, the Chaldrons were also used as service vehicles, with waste and building materials being transported to and from the collieries, while others were used as runner vehicles on the incline between the two collieries. This enabled wagons to be moved into the headshunt at Emma above the screens, as well as to bring empty wagons up from the bottom of the incline. As a result of their longevity in service, it was not uncommon to see both NCB and S.C.Co. legends mixed together in rakes of Chaldrons, an incongruous sight among the more modern wagons being used. The Models As can be seen from the artwork, we have given these NCB hoppers a distinctive distressed look, with replacement planks in grey primer part of the artwork for these packs to represent the 'patch repairs' the prototypes received working for the NCB. This makes them an excellent basis for weathering. This pack is due with the rest of the Chaldron production run in Q2 2022 and is only available via Accurascale, made in strictly limited numbers of 300 packs.

Correct George, Jan issue. Can anyone spot the error on the cover?

Simon Bendall's review is in Railways Illustrated this month too. Simon is quite knowledgeable about the Irish scene so well worth a look. Both Supertrain liveried As are now on the endangered species list if anyone is pondering which A to grab next. Perfect companion for the blue Taras too! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/a-class-locomotive/availability_in-stock? Cheers! Fran

Thanks for the update, @Brack. Please pass on the best wishes from all of us at IRM/Accurascale and we all hope he gets well very soon!
