Ahh VAT......I Forgot about that Ive no problem spending 6-700 euro on a Bandon tank or something along those lines but then when it comes to these saddle tanks withdrawn in the early 40s that even for the CBSCR man doing a 1960s theme, its a bit hard to justify what would end up being 400 euros when i could get 2 A class's for that Ill see if there is one pops up (as they sometimes do) around christmas That might be enough justification to get rid of all my savings

After the A class it seems to me with variety of liveries, 2 1/2 preserved examples, and similarity to an A. I think it highly likely that we will see one in years to come. AEC Railcar sets also have a lot for northern irish and irish models so i would place them after. Then followed by a sulzer in likeliness. After that......RTR steam loco, Class 80, D/E/G Shunters, re-run of existing model (071, 141) ect. Are all possibibilities that are about level after that Though im sure this is a debate we have had many a time I think for a "what if" people might be interested. Cant say i would 100 percent get one cause my era is completely different but i got a grey 121 for west cork, so I'm sure late 90s early 2000s modelers could make that situation works

This is one of those things where i cant afford it now, but will be kicking myself i didnt get it now in a few years.

Now thats the job Hopefully this website will host many more irish models to come Are the brakevans out?

Are you sure it wasn't colourised

I think a green line along the side above the snail would have gone a long way to making them neater. Might be something for those buying A46 to pull

Leaked GSWR 4 wheel coaches from IRM https://www.ebay.ie/itm/255038374370?hash=item3b6178c1e2:g:No4AAOSwdpxg3ylh

Better yet, a steam locomotive pushing the the "new" diesal into a siding. Good shunting idea

Will look good next to the maebh model coming 2026 A30 silver looks propperly good, shame that the prototype looked like that for about 20 minutes!

Reminds me of southern green! To be honest, id take an A class in olive green if it meant getting a green A class. Such a colourful class of diesel (albeit in the early days, it may As well have been black until 1963!) Any hints on what A42 looks like now?

Quite hard to make out the A42. But the green is certainly different.....all the quirks you have to overcome when developing a locomotive from across the globe!

How ironic would it be if the loco carrying the A's broke down due to the engine failing!

There is the one i ordered! Finish looks much better then the comutor models wow!

Because black n tan livery was way easier to keep clean the liveries before or since. Not to mention CIE were good at keeping them clean when they did get dirty

Cessna 172 more like!

Salt water plus silver paint made C202 look terrible after. Maybe if twad done again they could put it in green or black n tan. There is no space but i could imagine whitehead doing a job like with the CDR tank and putting next to the hunslet and sulzer inside the culta

There is a 50/50 chance that its still put there, nevermind that its a shell with bogeys Shame cause i wanted it to be restored as static display and put in West Coekk, at the moment we could never take on ITG's C226 for multiple reasons. And thats the only way any loco will go there (discounting the ruston 88ds "steam engine" that we already have)

Guys, i think my DCC forklift is malfunctioning

227 is (kind of but not really) preserved

Lucky for you, I sent the KGB into IRM towers and got this image from them.....or i got it from a youtube video! I dont think we have seen to much of the green variant A class so nice to see, a painted example exists!

Speaking of disguises........ Missed opertunity for a special edition A class!

Seeing the A class sample's on the display cabinet was a treat. With updates galore on IRM/Accurascale. 10 days until all our A class locos are ready to be shipped supposedly!

When i think of interesting station layouts, i always think of killarney, the IR logo station layout!

C226 ITG special edition, all funds going towards the restoration of C226's long restoration project And one for B113 And G601!

If ive learned anything its that buying irish models brand new is a really sound investment
