I'm afraid you strike out this time, Noel!

Thanks men! Keep an eye out for further updates in the coming weeks!

Things are progressing swiftly here at IRM Towers, with the ballast wagons selling well, the bubbles in production and now we can confirm that the Tara Mines wagon has entered the tooling stage. The Tara Mines project has been going on quietly in the background, but is still on course for delivery this winter. Keep an eye out for news, ordering information, prices and livery options in the coming weeks. As you can see from the CAD shot of the underframe detail above, it will be well worth the wait! The devil is in the detail as they say.

Absolutely incredible modelling Popeye!

As far as I know they do recycle them Rich! It does indeed Gareth. No more Kinder Eggs, turned sweeping brush handles, self assembly, incorrect Dapol chassis and castings varying in quality. The detail underneath alone is something to behold.

NEWS JUST IN FROM CHINA... The picture above might look like a heap of waste plastic and nickel silver in a box. However, it shows a number of sprues from a single Irish Railway Models cement bubble wagon! As you can tell, production is in full swing. Expect more pictures as well as information on delivery and further insights into the process to produce the bubbles in the coming days. Our bubbles are accurately proportioned and run beautifully on a fully accurate Irish chassis with unbeatable detail. They are crisply rendered in injection molded plastic and feature exquisite decoration. And they come fully assembled and fully painted ready-to-run for you to enjoy straight out of the box! The days of compromise and 'making do' are at an end. Order today http://www.irishrailwaymodels.com/shop

Just had a chat with one of the South Dublin lads, the list is still being finalised and should be published in the next week or so.

I have yet to see one tbh. All I know is that Irish Railway Models will be there

The main Dublin show is just over a month away! The South Dublin Model Railway Club show at Blackrock College, Dublin, October 28th - 30th. Irish Railway Models will be there of course and we will have ballast wagons and bubbles for sale as well as info in the Tara's. It looks like we might even have a new product announcement thrown in for good measure too all going well! Make sure you drop by and say hi!

I stuck up on Facebook too and someone responded saying it was a heavily modified FS model. Lovely bit of scratch building!

Was going through some old magazines and came across this in the March 1976 edition of 'Model Railway Constructor'. It is Lima's proposed A Class model, which looks a lot more A class than what was eventually released. It seems to be a hand built body at least, any idea of its origins, Dave? HO scale too...

Message received and understood!

You'd want DCC sound for that outlay. End of the day it's just a phone. Never get the excitement round this stuff tbh. Only 1% are ever going push its functionality. Most just want a phone, decent storage, a good camera and a way to browse the internet.

It's the brightness of the light shining on the roof. It looks the correct factory colour to me.

nothing received as of yet! you can also email it to fran@irishrailwaymodels.com Cheers!

Actually we're just getting some of the last remaining stock together for Sunday. Grab them while you can folks, because we wont be doing a repeat run any time soon and we are getting down to the bare bones.

Irish Railway Models will also be there of course with some of our remaining stock of packs A, B and C of our ballast wagons. We will also be able to take pre-orders on bubbles and chat about future projects so drop by and say hello

I'd imagine H&S and night time ballast dropping would have prevented such close filming taking place on a regular basis Noel. The above video is excellent and the best I've seen of the operation.

Hi Rebelred, can you PM me your new address so I can make sure it's updated? Cheers!

We haven't been near this thread recently, and apologies for that! As you may have probably seen elsewhere, our ballast wagons have sold really rather well, and we can only thank you all for supporting this project with your purchases. We still have some packs of A, B and C left, but they are walking out the doors at a steady pace and will be gone soon enough. We really enjoy those of you who have sent us videos of the wagons in action on your layouts, and would love to see more, and or pictures that we can share on here and indeed our Facebook page. Eamonn Redmond kindly sent this one of the wagons in action on his superb new layout. [video=youtube;2bz4DPLz-Qg] We will be at the Stillorgan fair this Sunday with some for sale. Of course, you can also buy remaining stock at http://www.irishrailwaymodels.com/shop

Hi Noel, not as of yet. Once we have news we will share it with the good folk of IRM. Rest assured sharing the news will be sooner rather than later

Stunning bit of work Eoin. One of the best bits of modelling I've seen in a long time. Well done!

Looking forward to seeing the results, Noel!

There is common parts between the 42ft flat and the fert I believe. Also, please note that this is the result of the survey, not an announcement of what we plan to do. We may do some of the above, or none of it and just do Sambo RTR...
