  1. So this is the new IRM branding. I presume all the boxes will be in this new Slate Grey / Bright green combination Simular to the Accurascale boxes ps-wouldn’t mind if this forum had a “dark mode” setting
  2. Has IRM got a new colour scheme? Or is this a glitch exclusive to my phone
  3. That green paint was humbrol 14ml enamel emerald green Marks used to have it however it’s no longer stocked due to the fact it has a fractional trace of a cancer causing agent (or something like that) so the EU deemed it illegal. I’ll have to find a substitute…
  4. It’s a £15 dapol LMS stanier coach under the green paint and Railtec transfers I still haven’t gotten around to painting the roof
  5. Genuinely, wouldn’t it be handy if one of the lads was a carpenter, metalworker or even a railway worker before they had to come here…..and was willing to volunteer too
  6. I wonder could one gain a few Ukrainian volounteers
  7. 200 quid for theatre Silverfox sulzer you could… ~wait for and get it brand new custom made for more or less the same price if not less ~or wait for the inevitable long term IRM iteration
  8. It’s been there for years, often the same eejit posting about moyesta on tiktok would break in and explore these “forgotten coaches”
  9. If anyone has a good colour photo of that coach in good condition and in that livery, I’d love to see it….I am addicted to that livery
  10. My best speculation is that maam cross might be a good home to a certain ITG locomotive that is looking for a home
  11. Garrison model show 2022. Saturday 28th of august from 12pm-4.30pm. probably worth a visit if you live down south. I reckon it will be busy this year as it’s also the first time the fort has re opened since covid hit (rather harsh clash of dates)
  12. Oh Christ lt was “only 1 powered item this year” a couple of months ago my financial plans are ruined and I shall now re-morgage d’house
  13. Ahhhhh so that’s where the blue thunder tour ended up…. I’m in the same boat as DJ…seriously? I know NIR have basically no use for em but a 111 would be the first of its kind to be preserved…and a big undertaking in itself Or is 112 the number ye guys will have to dial when photographers from all over Ireland descend on maam cross on opening day
  14. Well we know of the Ruston 88ds…..will it be able to pull all the stock coming it’s way….
  15. There mustn’t be very much stuff left that is “GSR livery appropriate” perhaps we can import some Pullman’s and put some 5,3 bogeys under them…
  16. 813 looks great in that livery, however if it’s going to maam cross I imaging a coat of GSR livery will be applied once the apropriate TLC has been applied
  17. If I went up to IE and offered them that for the real 230 in its current state….they’d throw in a mark 3 to sweeten the deal!
  18. While the handrail adds to the authenticity…perhaps fixing it would be worth it. Mine had similar issues but it went back in with little to any fuss and has been perfectly level and sturdy ever since
  19. I’m just looking forward to the Bachmann CIE fertiliser wagons
  20. Time to Re-spray the cravens
  21. Changed it to orange…like I was meant to say nah those 29000s will stay in that livery as long as people are willing to complain about it
  22. There is a man out west here who lives in a railway coach, couldn’t tell you where it came from though ill buy those CMDR coaches off the dungarvan greenway, and sink money into em like there is no tommorow I know CIE are against putting any passenger stock in orangeagain as that associates with the “old” image green however….well that’s a whole other story
  23. My dad said my generation will be living in container homes…. I wonder in 20 years times will I be living in a mark 4
  24. Secrets ehh i know a heuston driver that told me ******
