Can't have enough BGMs. I'd love another half dozen across ST,IR and IE liveries. I have plenty in B&T for my use.
Maybe even a one or two with the small logo IE, and the IR logo with no tipex livery variations?
Finally managed to get my hands on a lovely TPE 68 after almost missing the boat. Thanks to Accurascale practically all the stock of TPE 68s in 00 are gone from all suppliers. I may end up with 2 with any luck as I'm locked in a bid with another flea bay until someone out does me.
Can't wait for the Mk5 sets to release now.
The wagon shows 25127 on both sides Dave.
25178 was part of pack D.
I pointed this error out to the lads before release on here but looks like the box was never corrected.
Some of the sad part is from what I can see on RM web. The amount that got burned with the DJM 92 and are afraid to take a punt on the Accurascale 92, asking if they are crowdfunding too. Alot of them are presently surprised too that it's actually got to tooling because of the shinanigans of others. They're finally starting to appreciate the Accurascale brand and business model.
It's some forms of crowdfunding business models that are the risk to be fair. Pre paying for models is relatively risk free form established business entities.
Someone on RM web recently dug up one of his past posts on projects he has been part of.
2 things really jump out, as in it he claims, to have "designed" the IRM ballast and bubble wagons on commission.
Right you are Rich, but I could have sworn I got a pic of it right there from the now closed upstairs Odeon Costa across the road from the yard about 2 years back. Trawling though my collection......
Just for anyone interested in modeling the real thing:
The Sligo tour on Friday week will be a short formation of GSV+1522 Diner+1514 Bar+1532+1505+1508.
It will be 1508s first run this year and the last 3 Cravens are the same running numbers of the RPSI commissioned Cravens pack.
Just so long as the axle weight does not exceed 19 ton per axle. A 42ft or 47ft flat is about 40 tons with nothing on it. The max it's allowed to weigh provided the wagon can take the weight is 75-76 tons in total. Therefor a 20 foot flat can weight about 36-38ton total max when loaded.
Well before my time but ever since I learned of the D class I always wanted to know more about them. Very little info about on them but looks like they led very limited lives, a far cry from their UK cousins.
