I recommend if you’d like some more info you can read the thread below. the very start and the very end have the most info. Much of which is from reliable sources. And not just your average internet rumours. @Warbonnetcorrectly pointed out that the mark 2s would be the first to be produced PM usually does not tend to update the website a lot and usually announced things this way.

Great news. I’ll look on in interest I think IFM make some of these vans now, I’ve been meaning to see if he would make a sample in silver

When was that, the early 2000s 201 or the early 2010s upgraded version?

Me hopes the same! But probobly in a slightly different way This photo on eBay from railway images uk contains some familiar coaching stock and a certain loco that’s id like to see in the near future however it’s been hinted at it might not be one of these, but plenty of other Blue (or in my case green) things it could possibly be

I had to do the same thing if it’s any consultation!

Which means either demand has gone up, or scalpers love to scalp, or a combination of both I’d like to think that it’s the demand!

I’ve decided to take 2 packs. Enough to make a full train on my small layout already a bargain from raheeny and we aren’t even there yet

Has there ever been a more mad morning in Irish modelling history?

How many of these are closely guarded at the Fort Knox basement of IRM towers? There will be such a large queue outside raheeny…you’ll have to make a quota per person!

We live in the best timeline

And aren’t accurascale already making Sub-urban mark 1s

Indeed I’ve had 3 people offer 141 locos in the 120-140 range…amazingly I managed to get a 141 with DCC from Germany for an extraordinary price, for which I'm forever thankful . it actually works out at being my cheapest loco I have ever purchased…and some of mine are 2nd hand with no DCC! Not at all, I’m genuinely curious is all! I was potentially taking a leap into another era of models if they were hence the interest. Paddy has had enough people whinging, I wish not be another one! At Inchicore works I did tell him I’d love a 141 to come out once again. good news for IRM too. If I had not had a 141 at this stage there is a good chance I may not have pre-ordered the Fertiliser wagons. Now that I have one (and by the looks of things a few more will finally have one. A few IRM wagons may start selling out a bit faster…

I say it as in an announcement like this I’d expect some word about them? Again I have all day saterday to enquire about them….

To quote Ed Fahey “this isint like the stock market, it’s only going to go up.”

Don’t get me wrong, 2 years ago when I was only starting out I was begging for a re-run of a 141! Now since I have one I’m less so! Hopefully they make 142 as that’s a exact 141 I was going to make out of my 141

Had me wondering. What has become of the 201s, mark 3s, ect. Presumably we will find out when we ask ourselves saterday

Guess it being updated Infamous for being sams trains favourite website

EBay scalpers a sweating as we speak!

Hot off the press: From Murphy models Paddy will be showing pre-production samples of Class141/181 locos this week-end at the MRSI show. There will be 1 new fleet number in each of the four liveries (CIE, Supertrain, IR, IE) in both loco types. There will be a number of improvements, including the fitting of a speaker. No guidance on price due to the volatility of currency markets. Also at the show he will have examples of the Mark2d coach in IR livery. As before, there will be 1st., standard, composite, restaurant and egv. Photos to follow. There will be a new bogie to conform with the prototype and will facilitate 21mm conversions. of course this happens the second I’ve bought a 141 What do ye think of this rumour?

If your starting out. A lick of grey or black paint, red buffer beams and some basic transfers and your good to go the problem I find at the moment is finding a good source for those CIE buffer beam and side Numerals. I’m currently living off the ones from SSM with the bandon tank kit but am slowly running out….anyone know another place for good ones?

Probably the most in demand item to come back!

with 4 announcements…..there is very little chance anyone will be left out. Unless of course you happen to model the Waterford and central ireland railway or Cork and macroom direct railway. In which case i would be a little more skeptical! Roll on 50 minutes!

Are they the Chris dier railcars?

The IRM advent calendar is almost ready

Will add them….didn’t know about the JE ones. Harland and wolf one particularly interesting. Are they still in production? it seems I even forgot the RTR CB&SCR shunter that’s sitting on my desk staring at me
