  1. Doubt we will see an A class by then Noel , but 2x 121 class with the Gypsum will do me for Christmas
  2. If I remember correctly they put the chopped up telegraph poles in the fert wagons
  3. They were part of the pole train in the mid nineties for removing disused telephone poles along the railway lines .
  4. Yes me too wallet feeling stretched and i haven't even left the house !!!
  5. An interesting detail I have recently come across 001 had its roof painted black in those early shots of the supertrain, Looking at the IRRS Flickr site there is an early photo of 183 and 187 deptarting Cork in supertrain livery and the center roofs on both locos look like they are painted black too which is a new one on me .
  6. With all of the fabulous wagons we have had thus far , ballast , cement , fert , 42’ liners , Guinness and taras the 22’ flats would be the “missing link” on the freight front .
  7. I was eagerly awaiting these being released, at some point , hopefully IRM will do a project 22’ they could sell them in 3’s with 20’ bell containers, asahi , coal , oil , grain , Guinness, tar , to name a few .
  8. Would love too see the 27301=27794 series22'6" flats produced , same as in the lovely pictures above of the Asahi wagons .
  9. Yes very interesting companies like triton can’t keep up with demand https://www.freightwaves.com/news/chinese-container-factories-sold-out-until-february
  10. Add to that all shipping dates from China are being strecthed in every area , there is even a shortage of shipping containers in that part of the world to add to this . https://www.metroshipping.co.uk/news/container-shortages-in-china/#:~:text=Port operations have been severely,of equipment back to China. They might have to get C rail on the case!!.
  11. Nice weathering job, not too much but enough .
  12. I think they are 30 ton vans not 20 ton
  13. The 40 'beet containers on 42' wagons only featured in the last season 2005/2006 of the beet
  14. They have a very homemade look to the sides which is exactly how the real wagons looked following repairs to them . they look spot on too me size wise
  15. Thanks for the update guys very understandable, it also staggers delivery with the arrival of the 121 class and gives the finances a chance to recover and hopefully I will be able to order and pay for the ones I want prior to there arrival in 2021.
  16. Wonderful variety of tanks and containers on that train Noel.
  17. Never mind the tanktainer the other three are looking pretty unique too
  18. I have ordered a set of these just wondering will there be a version with the red oxide coloured bogies as opposed to the later version with the piebald ones ?
  19. Great scenes as always Patrick, hope the 121 class will put in an appearance soon at Glen More .
