Over 2,700 kilometres between the two regions, so about a distance of Dublin to Eastern Europe in comparison. Something we will keep an eye on of course but I think we should be okay!

Check out address pal with An Post Dave, gives you a US address (like parcel motel) handy for those US only postage situations. Nice find!

I dunno, cant be worse than the driving I see on a daily basis on the M50. Horrendous carry on! Electric is certainly the future, and once it comes to all the run of the mill cars we use it will be widespread in popularity. Considering the small size of the country I cant see range anxiety being much of a problem.

Hi everyone, Great news! We now accept one4all cards! We can now accept one4all cards both online and at shows. So, if you got one for Christmas you can now spend it on some IRM goodies! If using online, simply go to check out and enter the details like a normal credit or debit card with 'one4all' as the name on the payment card. Please also note that you cannot use it as part payment when ordering on the website. The card must have more or equal value to the item you are buying on it. We can split it at shows though! Please also note due to EU directives that max spend on traditional one4all cards online is €50. A new chip and pin card is due out in Q1 this year that raises that limit to €500. We can take any amount in person! Cheers! Fran

We should have news on an arrival date before the end of the week! Cheers! Fran

A Class Update! Hi everyone, We have been working hard on our A Class in the background in recent months in a quest to get it right. We can now confirm a delivery date of mid-October 2020. We apologise for this delay, but it is important to get the model right and produce the best A Class in OO gauge. Check out our website for more information: https://irishrailwaymodels.com/blogs/announcements/a-class-update-january-2020 Thanks, Fran (on behalf of IRM Team)

Was very lucky to pop in yesterday to drop something off and had a quick look. The museum is very well done, as is all the displays. It's great to see the Fry collection out on view again after so many years of sitting in storage. Hopefully all the hard work will be worth it and the museum is a success. Cheers! Fran

The weedspray has already been replaced by the MPV. The weedspray is currently used for brake force for the sperry train only.

A mole in the matrix has confirmed that they are going to Limerick for exams 8 at a time. Once complete they get their bodies back.

Going by the trucks I would say mid 80s at least.

We are indeed! Yes, the filter is correct. Cheers! Fran

Nor would we!

I see Hornby are also being topical this year...

IRM will be at all 4 shows

That's a beauty Steven! Complete with pan too! I have three sets of them somewhere I was going to saw up one day to make a prototypical train (just needed another two sets) think I can abandon that idea now!

HUSH HUSH is a winner for me, as is the Coronation stock. Can see myself looking at an APT too and well, the Rocket? The force is strangely strong with that one. Overall, the best Hornby line up in years. Fair play to them.

@WRENNEIRE will have the skinny on this.

Thanks everyone, we seem to be in a fair few categories this year which we are most proud of! We appreciate the votes!

A 121 operated the Bray - Greystones shuttle after the Cs were withdrawn and before the NIR 80 class was drafted in to operate it.

Hi Noel, Your continued custom with IRM is much appreciated. Thanks, Fran

Hi Noel, It is per our conversation at the Dublin show in October 2019. I’m not sure why you’re referencing previous posts on this thread which are well over a year old when you were given an update in person in October 2019? Thanks, Fran P.S -for the record, it was NEVER stated that the Guinness keg wagons would be appearing in January 2020.

Hi Rich, Absolutely. The forum is first to know when there is an update around timelines, developments etc. One thing we have been very good at is telling everyone what is going on (we’ve even had flak from people for ‘going on and on about it too much’) so everyone should go off previous updates, and if there is changes or developments we will inform.

Look out for some news from us on gypsum wagons in 2020....

Hi Noel, I do not have any news to add to previous updates as our office is closed until January 6th. It is envisaged that all As will indeed arrive together. Thanks, Fran

Best model of a laminate coach I ever seen. Fantastic work, Eoin!
