    The announcement yesterday was very slick by the way. You guys had all your ducks lined up beautifully and everything going live in quick succession was like a Swiss watch. I still can't quite believe such coaches are going to be released RTR. The joint AS/IRM release was also very clever as a way to expose more GB modellers to "our little railway" and its quirks.

    Some day I'm sure lol!

    You can say that again:

    Will we be getting a "leader board" like for the A classes or will they just sell out without warning?

    Looking at the underside of the bogies I'm wondering will the brake blocks sit behind the wheels where the wheels are pushed out to 21mm? Or is there a magic IRM solution for that in the works?
  6. murphaph
    No. The GM's couldn't do Push Pull. The DVT was used as regular coaching stock with the withdrawal of the Hunslets from Enterprise duties.

    Did NIR ever lend a set of these to CIE/IR/IE? I believe they were lent on occasional bank holiday weekends where there was a bank holiday in the south but maybe not in the north but were they ever lent for longer periods?

    Woah, hang on a sec....you guys slipped a ex FK mk2c into the NIR set! I completely missed it in all the excitement. https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/mark-2-coaches/products/nir-mk2b-pack-corporate-intercity-1 Now that means we can almost certainly expect RTR versions of IR 4103, 4104, 4105, 4106 and 4107. 4109 was the only standard based on the mk2b so that should also be doable. Very excited for the future, even more than I was!

    Did they ever run all 9 of the planned bumble bee coaches together?
  10. murphaph
    We demand Hunslets!! lol

    Well you have to have something to re-release. I doubt it was forgotten. I'm sure it was a conscious decision
  12. murphaph
    Yeah I didn't see that coming at all. Fair play, they look beautiful already. The Hornby chaps were clearly impressed. Obviously there's some common tooling between BR and NIR versions but the decision to press ahead with the "oddball" NIR variants is brave and I hope will be rewarded. With this announcement I can't help but feel an 80 Class isn't too many years away.....

    Park Royals make the most sense to me given the hints about coaching stock and the fact they ran with A's their whole (long) lives.

    My money is on a DCC ready Lartigue Monorail starter set, complete with matching calves.

    What happened to the roof at Broadstone?

    Derby day with trains at the Curragh: http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000731468/HierarchyTree

    Sad state of affairs. I ate a nice cooked dinner on the train (The Berliner, running from Hamburg to Prague, operated by CD) down to Dresden yesterday. There's nothing quite so civilised as eating a proper meal on the train, cooked in the galley. Edit: a loco hauled train too!
  19. murphaph
    Is there a queue, as in will older pre-orders be shipped first?
  20. murphaph
    That's awesome with the stay alive. Didn't think it would go anywhere near that far.
  21. murphaph
    Looks like the same loco indeed. I wonder has anyone here also bought it? If they have they may well be able to provide useful information to help track down the money.
  22. murphaph
    I believe he has or had possession of the loco and took those pictures of it. The images aren't downloaded from the internet and in fact you can see the resin printer and wash station he was trying to sell on adverts.ie before swiftly withdrawing the ad when asked where the loco is.
  23. murphaph
    I would if I could but I wouldn't fancy hundreds of angry Irish railway modellers looking for my scalp!
  24. murphaph
    In my case they will actually pass within spitting distance of my house as the train passes to the south of Berlin and on to the Ruhrpott. I've seen this train pass through Schönefeld airport station before. It often stops there, presumably for a crew change. Getting rather excited about my tippex A's now:
  25. murphaph
    That's surely a reference to those Guinness tanktainers that IRM are working on lol.
