Hi all, As we now are holding IRM stock in the new UK location, it makes sense to both try expand awareness of Irish Outline in the UK, as well as allow our UK based IRM customers access to features like the loyalty credits and such that accurascale can offer (coming soon for the Irish side) Also means you can now mix and match IRM and Accurascale in stock items in the same order. https://www.accurascale.com/collections/irish-railway-models

Apologies Sean. I’ve shuffled some virtual stock from the Uk.

They are still available to order?

Ok, we're a bit ahead of ourselves, and shipping them now

Pallets are in Dublin, we'll clear EU orders on Monday, and any balance of stock will then be listed.

Since July 1st last year the OSS / One Stop Shop EU joyfulyness means we have to charge all EU countries their local VAT rates. So on the checkout you will see the German VAT, or French VAT, etc, if you are shipping to those locations. Then we get the fun of filing it all

73.13 is the ex VAT price - 100% for sure

The ex VAT price is € 73.13 While the display tool using it's best estimate of your location to show the price, add them to the cart, click on the checkout when logged in. /shipping address set, and the shop will confirm the actual price you will pay

This is what I see on a DE IP

Hmm it’s all fully automated so should be showing De tax

Luckily, since the stock is still in China, we can allocated as we need. The trouble is when there is physical stock stuck in one place or the other. Then IRM has to buy it off Accurascale, do the import, pay Import VAT, do the paperwork, pay the fees, and then put it into stock in Dublin. Thanks Brexit! The gift that keeps giving!

They are physically finally in the warehouse now. Hoping shipments will catch up today. sorry for the delays on the UK orders with the new centre in Birmingham many hoops had to be rejumped through but thankfully now we are all set for stock moving in both directions. thanks yet again brexit!

To clarify, there are 100 on IRM.com and 100 -more- on IRM UK. SO we're doing about 800 twin packs. (joys of Brexit mean we can no longer share stock)

The Partial.ly option is currently only on the irishrailwaymodels.com website, as we can only run one instance per company

We've actually a small announcement tomorrow

If it helps, between both Irish and UK/Europe/row irm has 4106 registered customers. So the market is a bit bigger than you might think. This forum has 1616 members, and it's only a 'subset' of the Irish modellers out there, or those that will buy something Irish for nostalgic reasons.

When we asked in the last customer survey of IRM customers, the feedback was a gentler pace, and more notice. So, unlike the Accurascale side, we will continue launching new tool IRM models when we are fully finished the research, development and CAD and ready to start tooling, which is about 60-70 days to a sample, about the same again for a decorated sample and at least the same again for assembly. So about a year, to 18 months of warning, give or take. Non new-tools, or accurascale crossovers, like Mk2b, 2c and others to come, will launch with a sample, or decorated sample, typically cutting lead times to under 12 months. Hope that helps, we do have so much underway

Speculate away - it's fun

At the moment. We’ve had a bit of a mare with customs and stock transfers. Should be all cleaned up in the coming week and smooth going forward!

Added, thanks guys!

Wait until they see what’s coming

That’s what we’ve had for the last year or so. But needs must as landscape changes.

Brexit means a few more hoops. We’ve.m pallets of stock importing to Dublin at the moment including our own stock. Once all sorted there will be a few deltics on the eu site.

14 odd of us now
