Keith Moon and John Bonham rolled into one Pat. Ditch the van it will only have any credibility if it's a Roller. Rich,

Ordered mine and can't wait. It is extraordinary that a wagon which so few of were built will be recreated in model form. Reasonable price as well when you factor in the specs and small numbers being produced. An all round winner. Rich,
-
It's a really fantastic model men it's going to be a huge success. Rich,
-
It's always nice to see the model as it develops especially at this stage as you know that the FP model is getting closer. What continues to amaze me is the amount of hard graft that the lad's are putting into both IRM and Accurascale and the continuing standards of excellence of the models. Back to the sample above it's a winner already and surely the bar is raised again. Rich,

I was at a Scalefourum Seamus and a layout had stock with sprung buffers. They had Markits brass sprung buffers fitted to MK1's and wizard models fitted to wagons. It looked amazing when shunting . Just imagine having to back up a set of Tara's or Ferts buffer to buffer and you will start to come around to the idea. On the real wagons they rarely touched buffer to buffer running forwards. It is a nice touch and as Stephen has said if it isn't costing anymore than standard fixed buffers then it's a win win. The SLW class 24 is fitted with a prototypical working set of sprung buffers.

To be honest Seamus I've seen lads in the scale four society using sprung buffers to great effect in both pushing and forward modes, when it's done right it looks mighty effective. I suppose it comes down to what type of operational movement one likes. Rich,

Screaming Lord Sutch comes to mind . Rich,

The underframe detail looks sweet men, the vac chambers, the pipe work, brake gear and I love the springs. It really captures the bulk of the prototype. I love the bogies and the rotating axles. Provision also for 21mm. Delighted that sprung buffers are included. I don't think that I have seen a bogie wagon of that quality at that price from any manufacturer. It's a first for models in 00 especially when you look at the price that the Hornby Biomass wagons were selling for. The bar is raised again and I can see myself saying that for future releases also.

Smashing Eoin what amazing beasts these locos were. Rich,

Excellent post Pat. As for the trolling it's always the same two time and again. There is little sense to what is repeated repetitively. It's sad really. Rich,
-
I'd have to disagree with the first 2 posts myself and in all honesty I'm not surprised. We had the kids in Dublin for a few nights a while ago and my daughter asked could we go out to the Dundrum center for a few hours. We got on the Luas at Stephens Green and I really enjoyed the journey and saw parts of Dublin I hadn't seen before. Rich,

That's because the first one is a 42 foot example. Rich,

It would have been equally welcomed if the Ballast Plough had been to the standard of the previous releases but the fact that it will have these extra features makes it even more special. I love the PWD rolling stock, the tampers, maintenance vehicles. These machines and their crews keep the railway safe and sound for those that travel by rail. I love stopping at Kildare for the few moments to see the rolling stock and also envy Herr Flicks location to the depot at Portlaoise you lucky man Seamus. Who knows one may end up being produced in the future, as for now it is certainly a great time for us modellers. Rich,.

The snow and A class meltdown has begun, black smoke from the Sistine Chapel, Monty Python. Someone make this poor chap an A class. I'll even throw a prayer mat down myself. Rich,
-
Thanks Gerry my mix up. I'll still pop over to say hi and enjoy Llangollen. Rich, -
It's really come alive Gerry. I can't wait to see it at Wexford. Rich,
-
That many already ordered must give huge satisfaction and confidence to IRM for the future releases Fran and make all the hard work worth it. Rich,

Diecast is definitely the right choice Fran and I will be running a few empties to show off the excellent detail of the skeletal wagon. Rich,

The ladies always see the € sign the minute we mention anything. I told herself I would be having a very late night tonight as I will be watching the Kell Brook and Deontay Wilder fights. Her retort was is that pay per view. We can't win men, lie and repent later. Rich,

Wow what a bomb of an announcement an explosion of quality models and all of them trains I absolutely love. For someone who loves our railways and modelling them this is simply pure joy. Brilliant choices for everyone and the A Class meltdown has begun. Buzzing Rich,
-
Wonderful pics Ernie thanks for sharing them. God I miss the IE orange & black livery and the grab handles on the cab fronts, the 071's don't seem the same without them. Also two different covers on the Tara's in one of the pics. Rich,
-
They are Fran and the models will look sweet behind an 071. To see them in operation you need to see them at Alexandra road. Rich,

I swear if the lads announce a 22K and not an A Class the meltdown from some on here will be epic especially with all the frothing for one. Rich,
