Some relevant stuff here Bear in mind the Genesis range is , by definition generic (and there certainly is not 21mm provision) but they are made to an excellent standard, and it's hard to argue with the price!

With the first of our newly tooled Genesis coaches now with customers, we have been inundated with suggestions for other liveries to produce. There has been one standout suggestion that we have decided to append onto our Batch 2 run, the Irish Railways CIE colours. CIE had a fleet of 6-wheel coaches inherited from many of the old companies of Ireland, with the ex-GSWR fleet being one of the most prominent. This is what we have used for inspiration for the livery application for our coaches, as the features closely resemble the prototype. We are not just producing 1 livery however, we are covering all 3 liveries that CIE used with this type of coach: CIE Dark Green Used until early 1960s CIE Light Green Late 1950s - Mid 1960s CIE Black & Tan Early 1960s (later for bogie vehicles) These liveries represent the full lives of these coaches with CIE and cover an era of railways which, in the UK, had not seen a non-bogie coach for many years. These coaches are priced the same as the rest of the range, with single coaches available at £33 and a pack of 4 (in Dark Green livery only) priced at £120. As with our other batch 2 coaches, these will all be supplied unlit, with optional lighting packs available. All coaches will require the H4-GL-6 pack, with the Dark Green pack of 4 coaches requiring 4 of these units to function. These coaches will be available in Late 2023/Early 2024 along with the other liveries already announced in Batch 2. Numbers will be strictly limited and with the success of Batch 1, we recommend ordering soon to avoid disappointment. (For clarity too, Hattons are not wholesaling these, so they will NOT be for sale on irishRailwaymodels.com )

Thanks George lots if fun stuff to come

Aha! There are two "phases" of Mk.2c coach, those with large GM roof vents and large toilet window (phase 1) and with Roe-Vac roof vents and smaller "air con" style toilet windows with no vent (phase 2). IR had mostly Phase 2 with a single Phase 1 vehicle. So in this case its the original build phase of the coaches nothing to do with us The NIR coaches are due relatively soon, and these IE packs are in the next batch

Where does it say that and I can ask the Project manager }

Email definitely came from here and I can see the Ip change logged. Did you change provider or maybe use the link above to check your ip?

Hard to tell. Maybe send a screenshot or forward the email to support ?

Life was much simpler when we could simply ship everything from Dublin without a worry

The UK stock is in transit at the moment, and will be counted in hopefully mid week, no customs jollies assumed, at which point if you have preordered from accurascale, those orders will dispatch, and the small balance of stock will be available if you left it until now to buy. Hope that helps!

Once we have decorated factory samples we’ll finalize numbers.

One chip is needed for the set. We’ll share more details once we have physical samples.

Absolutely. We do our best to make everything as modeller friendly as we can. We’ll also have drivers and crew for these in time too

The installments options are in the cart.

Customs gods willing we should have ours the coming week

We’ll have the DCC chip configured for it

Oh just Irish. We’ve loads more for accura too. We’ve been very busy bees the last two years on the quiet

And unfortunately we’ve four whole new ranges to lunch between now and February. Sorry!

It will only misspell bookings and ensure that someone’s already in your seat. we actually have cad for the trolley done. (Yep we are mad)

100% accurately A couple of simple clips and full access is easy. They are designed for easy access to the lighting assemblies and for passenger installation.

Any news on prices?

Yes. We’ll supply a sheet of acetates like the mk5 so you can set to a destination of your choosing. The door indicator lights also will work and the front coupler is accessible behind a little magnetic attached panel.

They will come In a single 4-coach set box with the magnetic wand etc included. Much like the forthcoming mk5 sleepers over at accurascale towers.

The deposit or installments options are in the cart. Once you add what you’d like click on your cart and choose the button for either option. HTH
