Here's a short video of A3R making herself familiar with my 'micro' layout 'Brookhall Mill' - please excuse the incomplete nature of the layout.....I'm getting there! 1931199568_IRMAClassA3R.mp4

Ha thanks GM - sadly no recent progress and nothing likely for a good while either

What a model

This is just superb and the A class locos fit in Moree than nicely! Looking forward to more photos.

Still not much to report on BHM other than some high profile arrivals to expand the rolling stock manifest. I think that's enough for me to eventually operate a wide variety of trains across a timeline of half a century or so (until the next IRM announcement that is!) I have some wagons & carriages currently in the custody of a very talented friend, who is finishing them off for me, so once they arrive back I will be ceasing the acquisitions....... So time to indulge in a bit of fantasy....... Brookhall Mill closed in 1975 and one of the highlights of the final years was the annual 'Diesel Day'. CIE sent a number of locomotives to the mill for each Diesel Day, even going so far as to repaint a few of them in discontinued 'retro' liveries. Although it was always a very popular event with the public, Brookhall Mill's Diesel Day wasn't always fully appreciated by the old GNR men, who remarked that it made the place look more like Inchicore than they would have liked.......

Jaw-dropping A15 has a slightly displaced handrail but otherwise all received safe & sound. Full marks to the IRM team

Fascinating insight - thanks all!

Always wondered why the Ardee line was relatively unsuccessful - with virtually direct access to Dublin?

Such a great layout from Kieran - what a variety of stock and particularly nice to see the MAK diesel making an appearance. Inspirational!

Quite humbled, thank you! Amazing woodwork, am keenly watching progress! Good workspace too!

Lovely John - reminding me of my current project!

Thanks - nice to have a model of it now too. Who owns it?

Is that two A class locos there? I think there's a black & tan one under a tarp (A3r?) as well as the green-liveried loco, does anyone know the loco number of the green one?

Gulp

Neat work!

Phenomenal - sad to think 201 has had such a short career though. Any chance that she will run again?

I see another A has sold out - A15, thankfully I have one on order!

Gulp I am close to running out of adjectives for this model but here's another one - complete.

I see A46 has now sold out - glad I got mine!

Thank you Mr. McAllister!

Still mesmerised by this stunning loco

Love that - I would be quite sure a Supertrain A class made it to LH at some point!

Wow. Simply wow.

Sameeeeee hereeeeeeeeeeee

Can't wait to see these locos appearing on layouts (maybe from today?) Well done again to everyone at IRM & ITG
