Warbonnet

Some nice pics should be going up later tonight folks...

Something arrived in the post this morning from our Chinese friends. Anyone want to guess what this is?

That's a pretty cool set Dave, love the addition of bridge and gantry signal. Can't believe the variety in the early Lima sets.

Sadly this is one Christmas miricale that will not happen I'm afraid. We should have a more firm update in a week or so though.

Apparently an Athearn SD40 is coming my way in Santa Fe. Also contemplating treating myself to a Heljan Metro electric. Though not sure if I've behaved myself well enough this year to warrant one! http://www.hattons.co.uk/202955/Heljan_9007_Metropolitan_Bo_Bo_electric_11_George_Romney_in_London_Transport_maroon/StockDetail.aspx Sweet though

Absolutely lovely Noel. You can't beat BR blue and the subsector years

Thanks for the kind words David.

Ouch!

Sadly Grantham has had some of its stock pinched over the weekend http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/117336-theft-following-warley-show-request-to-keep-a-look-out/ I do follow it on RMWeb, mainly for the kitbuilding of locos and stock which ties in with Tony Wright's thread nicely.

Fantastic achievement. Great to see excellent Irish outline layouts being recognised at the big shows. Well done Colm Flanagan and team!

Thanks Kevin, baseboard Dave did a superb job with the scenics including lovely C&L trackwork as well as kitting it out with remote control LED lighting. If anyone wants a display case for some of their more treasured items, he's the man to go to!

We're here at the Bray fair with samples of our ballast and bubble. We have also received an awesome new display cabinet with incredible detail from Model Railway Baseboards. It's a stunning job, thanks baseboard Dave! Drop by and say hi and place your orders. We can now take card payments at shows too.

Most likely Orange but a few original greys are probably in there too. Was privileged to see some pics of pristine Ivory livery bubbles still in the works recently which will be handy for research purposes for the wagon

Drop by and say hi!

Had a nice run in a rake of cravens with a 201 on the point one Sunday from Galway to Heuston. They made an interesting contrast in eras!

Irish Railway Models will be there with pre-production samples of the Ballast and Bubble for those of you who missed out on the Raheny show. We look forward to seeing you there!

Thanks Noel, I get you now! Yes, we will be doing a number of events late this year and in early 2017 where people can opt to pick up their wagons. Or if they prefer they can contact us and arrange postage. We will require proof of purchase, any outstanding balance and photo ID when people are picking up at shows of course. A heads up to let us know so we can make sure we have the correct amount of stock would also be necessary but we will inform everyone about all that again nearer delivery.

Hi Noel. I'm not sure what you mean? It will be same as before. Thanks, Fran

Cheers!

With all the excitement of the pre-production bubble samples and the announcing of the Tara wagons, the latest news on the humble ballast wagons over the weekend was lost in the ether. We are hoping to have these by Christmas. Have you ordered yours yet?

Cheers man, link isnt working though

Wow, missed these. The KD is a stunner. Who is doing these?

Well, that's another Dublin show done this year, but what a great exhibition it was! We would like to sincerely thank the MRSI for all their hospitality and for putting on an excellent show this year. We would also like to thank everyone who stopped by for a chat with us over the weekend and for all the amazing feedback about the ballast and bubble wagons. And finally, a massive thank you to all of you who have backed us by placing orders for the wagons! It seems our special sale struck a chord. Remember, our bubble deal will save you €100 but ends at midnight. Don't miss out! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/index.php/shop/

You can on individual packs Rich, but the offer is payment in full up front.

Cheers John, absolute pleasure to meet you yesterday, enjoyed the chat and craic!
