Nah Jason sounds like he dropped a few disco biscuits. He's at the stage now where the jaw gets slack and you start gurning. Rich,

Smashing Noel. It's a direction that I am delighted to see IRM going with in regards to road vehicles. Rich,

Excellent and enjoyable as ever Noel. There is so much going on that sometimes the eye gets taken away from the actual train that is running to see what else is happening. Rich,

Only a few furlongs to go then. The latest images Stephen posted look amazing. It's nice to see the most numerous class of Diesel loco in model form at last. Rich,

Patrick, he dropped Ghost and is now Garfield. I was on it same name. As good as the MSN group was IRM is on a completely different level and is more than just a group it's like a club. Rich,

I remember being on a push pull set Dublin - Waterford in 2007. The MK11's had already begun to be fazed out at that time Rich,

Push pulls replaced the MK11's when they were withdrawn on the Waterford Dublin Heuston. Rich,

Excellent news all the MK111 variants including the Push Pull set is probably the best news. Good luck to all involved. Rich,

That's a fantastic project and such an iconic part of most stations. The prototype in Clonmel was built by Aroll Brothers of Glasgow in the 1880's. I will definitely take one. Rich,

MK11 F had bigger roof access hatches then the rest of the MK11 series. Rich,

The attention to detail on 124 and 134 is a new level. There are slight livery differences on both locos which has been captured on the models. The orange paint on the protoype 124 is present on the area to the sides of the steps on the cabside. it is correctly black on 134. The horn is the same colour as the headlight housing on 134 and on 124 it is orange. if this had not been the case on the models amd was pointed out the person or persons pointing it out would no doubt have been labelled rivet counters. If that is the case then PM must be the Godfather of rivet counters so I bow to Don Murphy and pledge my allegiance to him and all rivet counters. I also include the IRM gang in the rivet counter family. Rich,

It was probably the fact that mine were an online purchase. Anyway it was a nice gesture and that's why I believe in supporting our own as it shows how much it means to them also Rich,

Smashing Noel. I was talking to Richie and I will be going for the weathered boards myself and lots of Mk3 and a few MK2 tail lights as they were mixed in the early 2000's. Rich,

They look amazing Noel. Richie also has some excellent wasp stripe boards for the locos that haul the weedspray Train in the Glenderg range. The IRM instanters are smashing also. Rich,

The boxes have the IE, IR, CIE, logos on the boxes depending on which locos you buy. I haven't seen the as delivered boxes yet and naturally assume they have the Flying Snail logo. It adds an extra bit of class to the whole package to make an already premium model that bit more special. Rich,

A Christmas card from IRM came through the letterbox today so thanks lads and many happy returns. Rich,

Fran said they were in the early stages of production and April May next year is the target for delivery. Pay attention and keep up with the current or latest news or it will be detention and lots of homework over the festive season. Rich,

I got an IE ballast pack, we have to support the manufacturers and it's great to see these releases being supported and the sales prove that. As always the packaging from IRM was top class. Rich,

124 and 134 were delivered today. Excellently packaged and the chap that delivered the package knocked and waited until the door was opened. They will be wrapped for the 25th. I got them from Mark's and there was a thank you note with a discount code for a purchase in the new year. I paid for mine in June and didn't mind them being held back until the paint issue was sorted. Rich,

CCTV ffs your gaff sounds like Stalag 17. Or David Koresh's compound . Rich,

It's great to see such an amazing level of modelling on the forum Simon. Thanks for sharing. Rich,

Even from that pic alone it looks epic. I can't wait to see more. Rich,

I have never had any problems with DPD. They text you or email you early in the day with a time and always deliever at that time. They knock on the door and hand you the parcel and you sign for it. You can arrange another delivery date if no one is home or collect at the depot. During lockdown and as recent as this week we had 2 deliveries and the lads rang the bell stood back on the driveway and waited until the door was answered. I am not saying everyone has had the same experience as me but they are no worse or better than most. Rich,

Once you can't resist anymore. They look amazing. Rich,
