Hi everyone, The ferts have arrived and we are currently packing up all the pre-orders for dispatch. This will take us a few days due to the levels of pre-orders so please be patient. Once these are clear we will open up the order book for the remaining stock. Cheers! Fran

Hi everyone, We have done a bit of a stock clear up and managed to find some packs A-D Taras in very limited quantities. These are now on the website and available to buy, so if you missed out on Taras, here is your chance! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/tara-mines All the bubbles are now back in stock too, the greys are beginning to run low, so if you fancy them, it's worth grabbing them soon! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/cement-bubbles Cheers! Fran

No, I believe the Tommy Tighe who built the layout has since passed away.

Who would've thought executive luncheons were a big thing back then in Phibsborough!

Ferts on the Way! Our highly anticipated fertiliser wagons are almost here and will be dispatched from mid February. We managed to get these beauties out of China before their new year celebrations and look forward to their arrival. We recently took these production samples to South Dublin Model Railway Club and posed them on their 'Kildare' layout, where they look right at home! All current pre-orders will be fulfilled first, and once they are clear the limited remaining stock will be open to customers to buy. They wont hang around, so keep an eye on this thread, our website and subscribe to our newsletter at the bottom of our home page to make sure you are prepared! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/

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
