Hi Seamus, They should be interchangeable. Cheers! Fran

New production run of them very likely later this year!

Hi Ed, Not a problem! The loads will be much later in the year, after the other 42 wagons come out. Cheers! Fran

Cash comes out straight away, but they wont sell out by next month, so you should be fine! Oh yes, smooth lovely liffey water!

Thanks for the orders so far everyone, proving very popular indeed. Must be the desire for a pint since we're in lockdown on Good Friday? No better day to launch them I guess! Cheers! Fran

Sorry, missed your query! Mid 90s to late 06! Cheers, Fran

Hi Martin, They havent changed from before. Cheers! Fran

Love that van, shows what can be accomplished with brass, plastic and scratch building. The very best. Well done!

Hi Martin, As you know the best way to discuss payment plans with us is to email us direct. This is also applicable for anyone else looking to do the same. We will make sure nobody misses out. Cheers! Fran

New Accurascale Exclusive Announcement! The Irish Deltic! We are delighted to announce a new addition to our Class 55 Deltic range, the little known Irish Deltic! After English Electric delivered the 22 production Deltics to British Railways, CIE, the Irish transport authority, contacted English Electric with a view to converting the design to 5ft 3 gauge for evaluation purposes. English Electric duly obliged and D3333 was delivered to Dublin a year later, resplendent in the CIE black and tan livery. In honour of the class and their association with famous horses, CIE named the locomotive after the most famous horse in the land. The locomotive was duly tested on services to the west of Ireland, including the famous 'Craggy Island Express', which is faithfully replicated on our model with appropriate headcode display. Very few photos of this locomotive survive, but we are delighted to offer it in OO gauge form as part of our Accurascale exclusives range. Price for DCC sound is £333.33 and is strictly limited to 333 pieces. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to our Chinese factory for getting this sample to us, which we further cobbled together from parts. The Chinese; A great bunch of lads. Order today!

If it wasnt for Thomas the Tank Engine I probably would've never gone near the hobby if I'm honest. It's a great gateway for many children to play with trains and be introduced to them. How is that or a famous loco like Flying Scotsman a bad thing if it raises the profile of the hobby?

Hi Mark, The IRM A Class will use ESU Loksound 5. Cheers! Fran

Hi Noel, regarding gift cards, yes it can be used over multiple purchases as long as there is credit remaining on the card. Hi Bob, Sorry no can do, but we will be selling cages and kegs as an accessory pack. Hi K801, They can indeed, once you have lugs for the containers. Cheers, Fran

Hi Popeye, The lugs for the cages are moulded on, so not a separate piece. When things get back to normal we will look to provide spare container lugs. Cheers! Fran You will indeed! They will be new numbers, different markings etc.

The 121s were originally built with EMD 567 engines. After the C's were scrapped a number of 121s (not sure if all did) received the 645 roots blown engine from the rebuilt Cs. These engines were more powerful like the 181s compared to the 141s, and were installed to help 121s cope with the Mark III push pulls etc. The roots blown 645 sounds different to a 645 in an 071, mainly as the 071 is turbo charged and has more cylinders. Hope this is of help Dr Gerbil-Fritters Cheers! Fran
