Despite my constant hints imploring IRM to produce a steam loco, the 800s are not quite in my area of interest although I am certainly following this thread with enthusiasm. It was very encouraging to hear that early sales have been so good, it would be interesting to see an updated diagram of how sales are progressing, like IRM did for the A class - that was very skilled promotion I thought! -
Am finding myself constantly returning to this thread at the moment, such a great project David, and exceptional modelling as usual! Great to see a Swilly loco being modelled, not too many have ventured into the far north west of Ireland for their projects although Alan Gee's 'Burtonport' is a notable exception. Very informative blog post here from Roger Farnworth, who always produces very readable material: https://rogerfarnworth.com/2023/04/28/the-burtonport-extension-of-the-londonderry-lough-swilly-railway-part-1/

Your trackwork always looks superb to me David - the weathering is masterful!
-
Also looking forward to watching this one develop!
-
Looking forward to seeing the branch set making the full trip down to the terminus!
-
Hmmmmmmmmmm..........
-
Yes definitely does. Love the quayside too!
-
Excellent price! Shouldn't be around for long!
-
Thanks all - I have learnt that something which I thought was a gimmick does in reality have a worthwhile function. Yet again this forum proves its worth!
-
Good points David - would this apply in 4mm as well?
-
Ah!

Two very random thoughts.... 1. The absence of loco crew is often commented upon in relation to modern diesel loco releases, and yes A/S do provide some of these as extras to be fitted by the user but what happens when the loco has to change direction.....could there be a mechanism devised whereby a driver is provided but hidden at each end of a typical dual-cabbed loco, then maybe with a DCC command, the relevant one can be raised? Crazy idea And.... 2. Does anyone actually make use of, or care about sprung buffers????
-
Still very much in demand!

Hope you're ok now Noel.

I think that this magnificent locomotive is your finest creation yet David - it's in a league of its own. Truly exceptional.

Told ya steam was the way to go!!!! Love the history file on the AS website, great stuff!
-
Great article - such a loco!
-
But there's audio playing in the gallery, so sound chips needed.
-
I've always wanted to build a model of Cultra - no excuse now for not getting started!
-
Must say I am enjoying the reaction to this!

Pricing observation: STG£300.00 (minus a penny) for the basic DCC-ready version, that’s only £25.00 more than what I paid for the OO Works GNR U class 4-4-0 back in 2016. I don’t know much about these things, but allowing for inflation, and bearing in mind the much larger size of this locomotive, plus the insane quality and huge level of detail, that seems to me to be very decent pricing? And yes I know OO Works are a much smaller operation than IRM/AS, with fewer resources.
-
I had asked earlier how the sound files might be created - a comprehensive answer to that indeed! Jaw dropping in every way and a very reasonable price too. And for once, I was right

Gulp

Fran just to clarify, I hope I have this right…. The in-person event (lucky folks) starts at 7:00pm…..the actual reveal is at 8:00pm and the video of this follows at 9:00pm? Or have I totally misunderstood and the video is going out live with the reveal? I’m working this evening so trying to work out how to have the feed playing without anyone else seeing me drool….
