I will be there with Orange bubbles and Accurascale HUOs for sale, as well as production samples of the Tara and a 3D Print of the plough. Drop by and say hi!

Welcome back Kevin! There’s always our site to look at in the meantime, bubbles in stock, Tara’s and plough vans on the way with lots more in the pipeline! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/

All newspapers have an agenda, I just find the British ones especially repulsive, pushing hard with their agendas, no matter what the side. They should just stick to reporting news instead of telling everyone what to think. I wouldn't be arsed with any of them (and I have worked for a couple of nationals in my time!) Anyway! My guess would be that Hornby let the range go due to increasing licencing cost more than anything else, it truly has gone global in the last decade, but that's just speculating on my part. Bachmann have a ready made range for the US market too, so maybe that will be dropped in come the new year into the UK? Either way hopefully it encourages youngsters into the hobby to keep it alive. It's how I first came into it and I imagine I ain't alone in that regard! And sure we wont say no to more customers in the coming years!

Plenty of firewood for the winter and sure we need extra warehouse space..

Assuming you mean the N gauge one? Dapol dont do Mark IIIs in 00. I have a DRS one and it's very very nice loco indeed. Will look at the coupler height later on if you like, it's only a recent purchase and was out of the box once!

I want to give you a week long ban for posting the daily fail up on here! At least these trains might run on time.... (Doubt it's anything to do with 'PC', more to do with opening the brand up to new markets. Lots of money to make in China for example, and the whole thing is more American now than ever. And no, we aren't making it!)

All our white bubbles are officially sold out! Thank you everyone for supporting us. Sales of orange bubbles have picked up significantly in the last couple of weeks too so they are starting to run low on stock too. If you have a set of white bubbles thrown in with your tara or plough order then don't worry, we have them here waiting to be combined and shipped to you. Cheers everyone! Fran

Our Tara wagons are getting ever closer to completion, but due to all those lovely separately applied parts and the odd regional power cut in China (!) they are still a couple of weeks away from delivery. We are as disappointed about this as you are, as we really cant wait to receive them and get them out to you! The finish line is almost in sight and in a couple of weeks they will be rolling around your layouts at home or at your club, or in your collections. We are over 50% sold out as is, so make sure you don't miss out: https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/tara-mines

Pretty sure that's the old GSWR one. A bit of a 'triggers broom' but part of it was about 100 years old? @Glenderg has all the info on this one!

And then there were two... We have two packs of white bubbles left, both pack D. Grab them before they go! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/cement-bubbles/products/two-axle-cement-wagon-multi-pack-d

We are delighted to announce that we are the sponsors of the forthcoming Model Railway & Hobbies Exhibition this October Bank Holiday at St. Paul's College, Raheny, organised by the The Model Railway Society of Ireland. We will have a large stand at the show with new models for sale as well as all the latest IRM and Accurascale UK news. Make sure you drop by and see us as well as a variety of excellent layouts from across Ireland!

We were working through the site on Friday which was throwing up erroneous figures, which has now been since corrected. The few left is more than 30 packs, but can also assure you that it's less than 120. It's worth keeping an eye on the stock levels so nothing is missed out. Cheers, Fran

As I said Noel sales is the biggest KPI so the proof will be in those figures. I’m really hoping that I’m going to be proved wrong, believe me! Anyway, since we have shown that IRM is going to spoil the CIE era enthusiast in the coming year, I think it’s best to move back to this topic being about the fert and leave the CIE topic to rest for now. Cheers, Fran

Hi Alan, Many thanks for that. You make some good points. We offered the survey through several channels, not only here. We had it on our FB page, which was then shared in numerous of the big FB groups over there, RMWeb, email mailshot to our registered customers and was a news item in all the modeling magazines. The response was huge considering the market so we would stand by it as accurate. It’s not all we have based the assumption on, it’s also sales of items such as the Orange bubbles. Anyway, as the CIE plough testifies, we’re backing CIE era, of which sales have been okay so far. It’s no real secret that CIE ballasts are coming next year, blue Tara’s will appear too, and CIE ferts and items like B&I and Bell liners will fit the CIE era too over the next 12-24 months. I don’t see how we can back it any more than that tbh! At the end of the day the biggest indicator of what era is most popular is sales. If these CIE era models sell, we’ll back the era as well as we plan to next year for years to come! As for Ferts, end of the year is still on course! Start dropping those hints! Cheers, Fran

Our minimum order quantity per running number / livery is 250. Hence it has to be this way! Cheers, Fran

Hi everyone, We had the factory on this week and they have advised us that the Tara's wont be ready until very late August. It turns out that they underestimated how detailed the wagons are and as a result want to take their time in getting them finished to the ultra high standard we expect and what they pride themselves on. We know it's disappointing that they will be another couple of weeks, but rest assured that they will absolutely be worth it. We rather top notch and a couple of weeks later than planned, rather than rushed and not up to scratch. Sorry about this short delay but when you get them in your paws we think you'll agree that they will be well worth the wait. Cheers, Fran (on behalf of the IRM crew!)

Hi everyone, We have just launched our new cleaner, leaner and quicker website! Now it's easier to navigate between new models, find the latest Accurascale news and we also now have a new customer chat function should you need to contact us! Have a look for yourself: https://accurascale.co.uk/ If you have an existing login on our site you will need to reactivate your account through a special link we have emailed you. If you have not received the email please check your spam folder. If you have any issue email us on info@accurascale.co.uk and we will send it to you. Cheers, Fran

In fairness our problems were all generated in the West and a notorious man in the east. Thankfully we found some friends in the East (As well as a couple closer to home) who saved our bacon on that score. The truth will come out on that someday!

Tara Production nearing Completion! Production of our highly anticipated Tara Mines wagons is nearing completion and should be finished early next week before dispatch to Dublin by air! As you can see, components such as the chassis features high levels of details and the final assembly and checking is now taking place. We anticipate that orders will begin shipping during the final week of August. It's been a long wait but we firmly believe that they will be well worth it. Have you placed your order yet? Don't miss out on what promises to be our best model yet! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/tara-mines

Email is Noel at info and we’ll get you sorted out!

Hi everyone, I know this is very, very short notice, but I will be doing a short talk and a meet and greet at the The Model Railway Club rooms at Keen House this Thursday evening (August 9th). The Model Railway Club have very kindly agreed to facilitate us for this event and are also throwing their doors open to the general public. It would be fantastic to meet you there and answer any questions you have about IRM /Accurascale, the industry and what we are all about (except 'what models are we doing next?' no dice on that one!) We know it's short notice, but I just happen to find myself in London this week! I also heard a rumour about the club having a fully licenced bar?? Doors open from 7pm and the talk and Q&A begins at 8pm. So, if you're UK based and in the London area it would be great to see you there for a chat! (P.S - I will also be on the following railtour so if you cannot make Thursday and you are on the train on Saturday I'll be happy to chat too!) More info: http://www.themodelrailwayclub.org/ Cheers, Fran

No bother! It was @BosKonay that did the hard work!

Cheers John! The discount email has just been sent and should be with you all shortly! Cheers, Fran

We will help you out Andrew. If anyone else wants to add the CIE plough to their existing order of both IR and IE vans then please wait for the email with the discount code which will be sent to you shortly! Cheers, Fran

Please see here for the latest update: Cheers! Fran
