Pack B of the ballast wagon is now sold out at IRM Towers. Thanks for all the orders! I know it’s cement bubble fever at the moment, but we are down to the bare bones of packs A and C of the ballast hoppers. So if you’re on the fence, it might be time to take the plunge before it’s too late. www.irishrailwaymodels.com/shop Sales from them go to fund one of three (possibly four) exciting all new projects next year...

Marks sold out of their pack A allocation in a day or two I believe. They will be getting B, C and D very soon though

The bubbles have landed and the first shipments are on their way! The balance of our ivory bubble order has arrived from China! We have been working hard all day doing QC checks and we've even managed to get some orders packed and sent out this evening! We will be doing the same over the next few days. It should take about a week to check all orders and ship them to you. Thank you everyone for your support and patience as always. We hope you enjoy the definitive model of the iconic cement bubble! We still have bubbles in stock but with just over 70% of the run sold out already they wont hang around for long! Order yours today on our website

Cracking pics Finbarr. I'm going to miss the 125s when they go, but at least some are migrating to Scotland to live on for another few years yet! Like the MTU noise too but you couldn't beat the Paxmans...

Hi everyone, We have two of the pack B ballast wagons left in stock. Just a heads up! Thanks for all your orders! Fran www.irishrailwaymodels.com/shop

I have to say I like the 80 in Enterprise...

At least it shows all the detail under the tank that Richie went to get lengths replicating!

Beats by Broithe?

Bubbles leaving on a jet plane! We are delighted to announce that the remaining pack A and B, along with all our C and D packs of bubbles left our factory in China today and will be flown to Irish shores. They are due to be with us next Friday when inspection and dispatch will begin!

Find Flickr great and easy to use personally.

We will be at Stillorgan this Sunday with ballast wagons as well as some pack B cement bubbles for sale. Drop by and say hi!

Yes, long stalled, but am awaiting a much improved chassis from Jeremy which I asked about when I saw him at Blackrock so once I secure that I’ll be on the home stretch

A few more pictures of Richie’s filthy bubble. Tis a stunner!

Another exciting day in IRM Towers as we received the baseboards for our test track from Model Rail Baseboards. Dave has done a lovely job on it too!

Glad you got sorted Railer. The other bubbles aren't that far behind the Irish Cement ones in selling out. We've been blown away by demand! The rest of the bubbles leave the factory this coming Friday, so lots of packing and shipping to come for us over the next few weeks. After the factory ship on Friday, they're straight into production of the orange bubbles

My personal fave too Rich, love the old school CIE about it and the fact it wore the ‘bulk cement’ branding till the bitter end in 2009.

Hi Railer, Once we do a model, we do not do a re-run. We only have evidence of four bubbles getting Irish Cement. and we've done three. I can now also confirm that we have sold out of Pack A here at IRM towers. Thanks to everyone who ordered!

Thanks Paddy for the order and the kind words! China are still working hard on the rest of the Ivory bubbles and should be finished in the next week or so. Then it's straight onto the Orange bubbles. Speaking of bubbles, weathering master Tony Mirolo sent us in a couple of pics of a pack he is working on. This is the lightest of the three weathering wise, apparently! Think they look top notch if I do say so myself!

We'll keep you posted Jim! Sorry...

We're feeling like the elves just before Christmas at the moment! After a day of rest after the hectic SDMRC show over the weekend (well, a couple of hours off) it is back to the grind today. We're checking and packing orders that came in online over the weekend as well as pre-orders for Cement bubble pack A's. There's a huge amount to get through, so your patience is appreciated! Anyone who has ordered a bubble pack A or B with the forthcoming C and/or D packs will receive their order when the balance of the shipment arrives in a couple of weeks.

Weathering looks good Noel, reckon they're the first ones treated as such!

Ah now Noel, that would mean devaluing my collection of Brit outline!

I do Rich, it's good craic I have to be honest! But a LOT of work too!

And the packing into parcels, QC process, trick or treating.... One of these days we might get a day off
