  1. Sorry they sold out shockingly fast
  2. Always
  3. We will be releasing the Spoil Wagons and the Weedsprayer as well as packs of unloaded flats, and the gigantic A class run and another large project before summers end and then something else too.
  4. Back in stock - very last remaining stocks from Murphy Models https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/murphy-models-mark-2d-coaches
  5. Drop us aline - perhaps your email or mobile number is incorrect in the system?
  6. Out Of Stock I'm afraid. Only the listed 201's and a very small amount of Mk2d coaches are available.
  7. Good morning Mark, We moved all of our logistics and fulfilment to the UK last October/November, so as usual, all parcels will ship from the UK, using either Royal Mail Tracked, or for some large orders DHL. Once the team have sorted and counted / checked the stock in, we'll begin dispatch of the many many orders of kegs, as soon as yours leaves us, you'll get an email update with tracking details. This is a good time for all to check their orders look ok, delivery addresses remain accurate, payments are reflected correctly and all is well before the rush
  8. It's been a milestone we have been looking forward to here at IRM for a long time, and now it has finally arrived. We have now received decorated samples of our hotly anticipated A Class locomotives! The class leader is resplendent in original silver livery, which particularly shows off the bogie detail! A12 is represented here in the distinctive CIE black with yellow ends livery of the mid 1960s. We think this livery is particularly attractive on the Crossley powered metrovicks and expect it to become an enthusiasts favourite! Is black and tan the best livery the As wore? It is certainly one of our favourites, and certainly one of the most popular if pre-orders are anything to go by! Here we have A15 in original condition with the high band black and tan livery. 007 carries one of those quirky liveries that lasted longer than you might think! In 1987 the IR points logo began appearing following the formation of Irish Rail, with locomotives receiving the branding on existing "SuperTrain" livery. The A's in particular received this treatment in great numbers from 1987, and some were still carrying it into 1993! There are some decoration corrections required on this one, namely the black chevron at the front not extending far enough up onto the cab roof, and that IR logo on the side is too big. Both will be corrected before production! The colour is also a little washed out in these pics due to the very bright studio, but the shade of tan looks spot on in normal conditions. IR scheme of orange, black and white striping as worn from the late 80s onwards, represents these locos in their final years of service. Here we see 017 before CAWS guard and dayglo panels. IR with dayglo panels and CAWS guard is represented here in the form of 036, showing the very final condition of the As on the network. We have found with all IR samples that the logo on the sides are too big, the chevron one front needs correcting and the numbers also needs attention. These will be corrected on the production models. We also received some additional body shells showing other liveries and class numbers for evaluation. For more information and pictures of all the decorated samples of the A Class we have received so far, check out the thread on the irishrailwaymodeller.com forum here.

  9. This forum now has almost 1400 members, and IRM numbers some 1750 registered customers of our models - so it's clear the market is growing by being catered for and promoted!
  10. Hi Popeye, Yes, inside the grill would be all black.
  11. Didn't IR have Mk2c's also?
  12. I paid £17 carriage for tracked airmail on the 66 I bought, so not sure how long the £3 option might take or if there is any tracking or insurance? Also bear in mind that supporting local business means there might be more irish models
  13. Unfortunately It's available only to UK customers (like PayPal credit) we'll clean up the website to avoid confusion - thanks for pointing it out!
  14. I think the issue is that bachmann no longer accept third party commissions (which the Irish auto ballasters were)
  15. Don't worry we have Samples of 11 of the livery schemes to share And then we can share the DCC sound project and functionality
  16. Indeed the cab is not only fully rendered and painted, but the dials on the dashboard are illuminated
  17. Pay in Euro? Try revolut? They don’t charge any fees on currency conversions.
  18. We'd not recommend it no, as there may be a number of months between them. As postage is free on all orders over €50, we recommend ordering them separately. HTH!
  19. If you mean Metal Helical Gear box for maximum performance and slow speed running The gear tower / gear box connecting all of the wheels to the motor output are helical in shape, rather than traditional 'cogs'. This allows for much cleaner gear meshing, especially at slow speeds, and means your A will glide along at very slow speed without any jump or judder ! Added to the powerbank of capacitors built in, and the A will handle any track situation with ease, while pulling prototypically!
  20. Not a problem, we can split it for you on the warehouse system end!
  21. We're not sure yet when the decoders will be coming exactly, so might be simpler to order them individually (it will be free postage on both regardless!) Hope that helps!
  22. We can confirm it's the price we're charging, based on the data we have in hand, and we will not be increasing that price.
  23. It does not. Even all wheel pickup can hit dirt and issues which will impact (in particular) lighting and sound. Nothing worse than a sound chip resetting to engine start just because you drove the loco across a point
  24. The 121 decoders are standard lokSound and lokpilot v5 units. The sound files are copyrighted to Murphy models and will not ever be released on the ESU website. In this regard the setup is identical to the soon to be released A class project. hope that helps clarify
  25. Absolutely - https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/dcc-decoders The LokPilot is the 'standard DCC' option, and for sound you can choose which Engine you would like / need.
