Due to a tamper in Killarney’s loop, an empty RPSI special for a private charter had to make a run to Tralee to run around the Cravens.

Recently came to my attention that KR models. Who specialised in Niche British Railway Prototypes has appeared to have gone out of business. There company is listed as inactive and social media’s have been taken down. There might be some on here who have pre-orders with them (I saw a lot of people with Bullied Leaders on here when they came out). Hopefully they make a statement shortly on the fate of pre orders.

Tailte tours and the C&LR had them for sale for 25-35 quid recently too!

doubt it very much. I think the main DD model was made by a now defunct manufacturer, very few made and cost quite a lot first day, nevermind now! I think what I’ve seen most people do is Eurostar car conversions and the Control Car made with an MIR 201 shell

It’s theoretically possible that this board was purchased in carrick on suir in 2023 for the grand total of €5 like I did

At least with cattle wagons and beet wagons, it’s more of a where/When if over a what if

I’m sure one day soon, that will happen. But a Reminder that IRM’s Beet wagons are prototypical rolling stock for a CIE 800!

what the proposed Black and Tan Livery might have looked like

Only seeing this now…never seen this before!

Don’t think I’ve seen anything as good as this, Even in the professional documentaries. Well researched and it paid off! Well done

Killarney today

Some foreign locomotives with very strong Irish Connections Im hoping to uncover more examples of these types of locos This locomotive is a sister to the 2 peckets on the Schull and Skibbereen. And is named Gabriel, same as S&S loco which is named after the mountain in Schull, and is located in New Zealand, still around today A MGWR 2-2-2 locomotive was built, but the midland never paid for it. It ended up in Brazil, and also still survives

I doubt the viability of another A class model purely based on the 2nd hand prices and the way the Irish market has gone since post covid time. I agree with mol, being in this forum your in the best place to actually get Models for not mad money, I’ve managed to get stuff for below RRP quite frequently on here over the years

Not even during ITG tours?

Going to make transfers for the advertising slogan one???
