Lovely a very important wagon in the engineering PWD department. Seen them operating in Waterford was very interesting and did a tidy job to boot.
Can't wait,
Rich,
Without a doubt the worst post has been posted on IRM since we went live in 2012. The PW gangs and Machines are why our railways are so safe to travel on they they do a marvelous job.
I take it that from the amount of times that you have said never blew my skirt up on here that you like wearing ladies clothes and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that so fair play for being so open. Only joking.
Boop-boop-de-doop
I can honestly and comprehensively say that when the lads particularly Richie read that last statement they will be fuming.
Imagine putting all the effort and hard graft they put into their work and to have to contend with those kind of posts and their content. Can't help but think that there is a bit of trolling going on here.
Rich,
Had a look at the early cad of the Class 92 and it looks fantastic. Great to see the lads doing fantastically for such a young up and coming company.
Rich,
You're not one of the few minister but one of the many who don't take every opportunity to have a moan. Getting there and back home safely is all that matters. Especially when you consider the Emiliano Sala and pilot tragedy.
Rich,
Don't just have Paddy's day to look forward to then in March Fran. Thanks for keeping us informed and up to date. It really is refreshing to see such trust between customer and manufacturer and vice versa. I've given up trying to work out how they can be improved from what we've seen already as I keep getting it wrong.
Rich,
I know the lads are all about the detail even if it is tiny and needs to be viewed under a magnifying glass but seriously a working scale 00 gauge tape rule in imperial and metric. How about getting Richie scanned by Modelu with the tape rule in hand.
Seriously looking forward to future announcements.
Rich,
RIP he was great in it ain't half hot mum. There was something so commanding about his great booming voice. I would have loved to have seen a conversation between himself and Brian Blessed.
Rich,
The deed is done men in both categories. Imagine it though, being in the game as a newly launched company and already being in the running for the top awards. The hard graft always pays off in the end as does delivering the goods which has happened with every model released.
Rich,
I've been having a look at the Taras today and decided to have a look at them coupled with the supplied coupling bars. They look 100% better and unobtrusive compared to the TLC. They also give closer coupling. If you want to run fixed rakes and don't need kadees give them a try.
Rich,
Great Noel. The fact that you work for IE and get to go home and enjoy the layout is a win win situation if there ever was one. Enjoy the festive season yourself.
Rich,
Scalefour stores do both sizes in ply also. P4 Track Co do packs of ply sleepers also. All the track I surveyed had 4 bolt chairs and P4 Track Co produce these also..
If you want to make a start on a little plank or diorama with a lenght of plain track download Templot and print a plain track template to get you started. It would be a nice project to start the new year with. With the encyclopedic knowledge JHB possess I am sure he will have lot's of ideas to mull over the festive period.
Rich,
I did a lot of measuring of track and structures over the last 15 years on the Waterford Limerick line and all the bullhead plain track sleepers were 8ft 6, 9ft, and many were 8ft 9.
Rich,
Thanks for the card lads. It's a smashing gesture. It also shows that it is as much a gesture of friendship as it is a thank you from a manufacturer to their customers.
You men and your families have a good one also.
Rich,
At least we'll recognize you if we see you at an exhibition Jason. Folks will be keeping you at arms length while holding their noses and there will be a swarm of blue bottles following you. Seriously though the wagons look amazing top work by our man.
Rich,
Seen the springs on an early pp sample George. The stars are on the ballasts and bubbles also. These men always want to push the technical and production levels to the limits.
Rich,
Got mine this morning and they are amazing. I'm really happy for the lads as they were really upset and disappointed when the weather put a spanner in the works and they had to take the long way to reach us. Fran always kept us up to date and informed with current news on when they hopefully would be here.
From our side of the fence it was great to see how everyone showed such patience and support which I know really gave the lads a great lift. It's good to see such solid relations between manufacturer and customer's.
The spare axle cups are also a nice touch as are the coupling bars.
Rich,
