There will be one small but very nice announcement.

Perhaps something smaller than an A class ........ maybe a C/B201 class

There are many books published over the years with a plethora of middle of the road pictures of steam in Ireland they are great because of the rarity of the content with the odd gem in amongst the pictures , this book contains gems of the highest calibure on every page so if you think its too expensive then don't buy it , but if you do buy it you won't be disappointed.

Received my first A class today dispatched yesterday and received from An Post this morning . The loco is simply stunning worth the wait of 3 years .

I  have just received a copy of this book and its a super publication worth the price the reproduction of the black and white images is suberb.

No time for that you got to prep some A class for service on Tara Juction first!

Overwhelmed at this time….can hardly make the stairs to Tara junction

Perhaps a glass of water and a lie down .

Just seems to me that those who paid their money first should be served sooner rather than later.   

What do you think?

The difference in delivery could be down to hours 24 maybe 48 after waiting 3 years you have to get things into perspective we could be pedantic but is it not worth it considering we have patiently waited this long . 
Too dispatch the orders in the way you suggest might involve re picking the orders and may inadvertently delay the deliveries overall .  

If you fancy re numbering an A class here's a great tutorial on how to re number a loco ,

Right now, we just landed a 40' of MDOs, MDV's, Coils and loads for accurascale, a 40' of A's is 'sooooo' nearly here, another 40' is en route with a mix of Irish and UK stuff and another one will be leaving one of our factories in 4 weeks time. 

Like buses you wait ages and they all come along at once 

Most of those small scanners are not great , I have a reasonablle scanner for 35mm slides , however  you should perhaps talk to Eiretrains as he is an expert at scanning older slides etc and might be able to help you or point you in the best direction .

Two from September 1978.

021 at Limerick Junction, the first coach looks interesting (possibly!)

A pair of 121's at Rosslare Harbour.

 

The coach behind 021 is 32xx BGSV converted from 1950's built stock

Just a few more days guys - can you believe it? - after a 40 year journey from those early efforts by Lima to something world class… and who would have thought the A class could be found on the Trans-Siberian railway?

After waiting this long I think we can wait a few more days. 

B5 primary light blue , secondary white. 

While not a Park Royal this is a build of a worsley kit by Eoin Murray which is very similar 

The palvans were introduced in about 1964 . 

The spoils are suitable and are still available  https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/ie-spoil-wagons/products/cie-ir-42-flat-spoil-wagons-bundle

If anyone can provide photos of former BR Mark 2B or Mark 2C coaches they may have in their collections we would love to see them!

Here's one of 4105 ex British Rail FO 6401 /SO 3157

I suppose you'll be expecting a Dutch Van to go with that?? 

Well if one was offered it would be bad manners to turn them down .

I see the bogies have a bit of a curve, hopefully this will be sorted. 

I would imagine it would , I do wonder if IRM would be making available the 5'3" version of the  B4 & B5 as an accessory which I think would be a huge seller allowing us to convert existing stock like Mk1 GSV's , Cravens etc

They probably didn’t want to be accused of teasing us especially if the IRM  Mk2 is photographed  coupled to a Murphy Bachmann Mk2a !!
If they want a sample of a Murphy Bachmann MK2a I’m sure we could rustle one up to IRM towers for research purposes.
