The Taras are not part of P42. They are there own entity that just share the same bogies. The Blue Taras are more or less ready to go and tooled up. The guys will probably hold fire until they release some of the Supertrain A class to haul them.
-
I was told that part of the reason the Ammonia's are or were not on their short term radar was because of the lack of details they have to model the underbody of the wagons. They don't want to do a Hornby job with a blank barren underside and at the same time they don't want to make up an educated guess at the detail and model it either. That may all have changed but that was the case I was told, it's that they want to do it right or not at all. My view is, if they do make a guess at the underbody and no one has any info to help then no one can correct them or critique the model if and when it's released.

Feast or Famine - Passenger Stock for A's and 121's
Railer replied to DJ Dangerous's topic in Irish Models
It's that the wheel sets are underscale. Some then posted pics of their Cravens fitted with correct scale wheels improving the look of the model but it makes them sit higher than the rest of RTR Irish stock. -
I must be mistaken but I'm almost certain there was something about 1 and possibly 2 new announcement but for the life of me I can't find anything in the threads now.
-
Some more will be very welcome indeed. Just before you guys announced the bus, you said you had 2 new announcements for that week. 1 ended up being the bus, what's the other? Or did the arrival of the 121s delay it perhaps?
-
They could have reversed at Kildare and again at Kilkenny but as above, Limerick via Limerick junction would be the most direct route.
-
A 1:76 scale AN-124 so we can model 201 being delivered.
-
Excellent, really hope you do more, sooner rather than later.
-
It sure is an excellent model, I just missed the boat and I can't get my hand on one. It's just nostalgia for me growing up as they were always on the 29A route.
-
Depending on how these sell (I expect very well) what would be a ballpark lead time and the next plan from this. I'm assuming you have a "next" option model to move to. Cough, cough KD class cough,
-
Great new addition. I went to get a KD model at either the Raheny or Blackrock shows one year and they were gone so fast. Great price too.
-
I see another 121 is now out of stock with IRM, number 125 in B&T. These certainly are moving. I wonder is the market now there to increase production runs are maybe still the case now more than ever to pre-order everything possible until such time that enough demand is there to increase production runs so that models remain on the shelves for a bit of time. The days of a a random impulse buy is coming to a very quick end I feel.
-
Looks to be 648 of them there unless other liveries are mixed in with them.
-
Yeah those buffer spindles have annoyed me since the Tara wagons released. I'd rather the compromise of a non sprung beefier spindle than these. Like what they went for on the Bubbles and Ballasts.
-
The buffers on the SSM ones look alot better then the RTR examples IMO.
-
Basically yes. They have slow speed creep control too but that is isolated like the blended brakes. That feature would be ideal when the 201s are on ballast duties. The 29000 DMUs have dynamic blended brakes, always used when they first entered service. Then around 2008-2010 it was isolated due to a few engine fires. I the past 2-3 years the these have been enabled again with set 29010 being the first to have it reinstated.
-
The footplate grill panels over the buffers would have been a nice touch too. IRM seem to have changed direction in customer feed back. You used to release a decorated sample, get feed back and make changes but now it's all inhouse and a release out of blue. After all the detail on the plough vans these, I'm sorry to say look a bit of a let down from the norm.
-
Here it is in 2015 painted yellow at the end. It wasn't always in yellow.
-
As was mentioned before release, will these have the hoses for between the wagon connections? Big shame about the lack of a van. If I knew that was coming I'd be all over these straight away. I have a SF version but I'd rather not run it next to these. Also, for those modeling this set in the last 4 years of it's life will need to paint the end of the container yellow.
-
On British built locos the radiator is the No1 end while on US built locos the radiator is at the No2 end. That would explain the situation of the Class 20. But in saying that on old US switcher designs the cab is at No2 end, so who knows.
-
Yes, it finished last year. The MPV took over fully this year. The Mk1 GSV is now only used as part of the speedy train with one of the tank wagons and spoil wagons. The rest of the tanks were removed the the 42 flats retasked.
-
Hornby came out saying they are working on a retooling of their old 91 model which put the brakes on Cavalex's project. Hornby however said nothing about their BREL/Camel Mk4s.
-
112 still works the odd time and is as modeled except it's now 8112. 8113 has since got 112s style marker lights as has 111. 112 is just on very bad condition externally. 111 was the last one to have major work on it completed.
-
B125 is early b and t while 131 is late b and t era. 131 also has the multiple working sockets while 125 does not.
-
Though he was doing the 3 marker light version of the IRs to?. It's the same configuration of the IR 141/181s. Either way they look great.
