@BosKonay Are they the actual production ones Stephen?

Yes. We’ll have a confirmed eta as soon as they ship in the coming days.

From reading the various threads on the forum, David and Mark would appear to be holding a couple of thousand Euro in deposits from forum members, for orders which do not appear to have been fulfilled.

They have been in touch with forum members as recently as Spring 2023, if I recall correctly, stating that they wish to rebuild their reputation and resume model-making.

EDIT: Oops, thought you were on about D&M Models!

Yep i’m aware of the D&M situation. thankfully i had full delivery of my rakes before they struggled. 

The poster refers to model shop belfast though.

And they closed down under dodgy circumstances as well. Lot of customers were left out of pocket.

Not sure if going bust is dodgy? Wasn’t aware people lost money?

Just had an email from IRM UK to the effect that I have a refund of about £35 for the single magnesite wagon that I ordered as part of the bundle of wagons in the total order.

Obviously it’s nice to get a refund but I did actually receive the full order, including the single wagon, so I’m curious as to what the refund is for - the email didn’t say…

Cheers

Darius

Thanks for the heads up Darius, seems the system assumed you hadn't gotten the single,, so refunded Enjoy

Thanks @Anders112 and welcome to the forum! That answers the second part of my question nicely. So the remaining part is, when did a Hunslet propel a mk2 set for the last time?

Probably this, in 1990

Very crisp indeed. What's the story with the black axles? Any particular reason you've changed the design there compared to the P42s?

The coaches all have full pickups (and on board stayalive) for interior lighting (and head lighting on the DTs) so the axles are insulated. 

If anyone has shops to suggest please just do so and they can be added

I received the 'ready to purchase' notifications for the mk2D's that I pre-ordered. However, I would like to get some clarification before I pay. The carriages are listed as e.g '5203 Irish Railways Mark 2d Standard - Irish Rail (Orange roof)', which I take to mean IR tippex livery with orange roof (exactly what I'm looking for). However, the description section for all of the 2D's states 'CIE Supertrain Livery'. Can anybody here shed any light on the matter?

Many thanks!

The details are still placeholders, so only the header information is correct, in that case, its "5203 Irish Railways Mark 2d Standard - Irish Rail (Orange roof)" - everything else is placeholder information, pending any details from Mr. Murphy.

The shops listing is just for places stocking irish outline or in ireland. Do they stock irish?

We are evaluating the final production samples and in the coming week eil be sharing photos of all the packs and running videos. Once the PM signs off we’ll get them loaded into a container and they should be here in about 6-8 weeks. 

If you click the link in the confirmation email you will see a page posted all of your EoI preorders with options to edit and /or cancel if needed. 

The under frames may require mirrors under the track too...

A working nose panel, hiding the NEM socket? Oh yes!

Will we see an O Gauge EP at the October show?

Something to haul those O Gauge RPSI Mk2's maybe?

And don't lie to me, there's no way that they're OO!

Lol, perhaps

We should also have fully working EP's of several other items. 

https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/murphy-models-mark-2d-coaches

RRP is €59.95, no doubt partly to get closer to the IRM price point :). 

The speaker configuration has been developed with EsU with the large tangband at 4 Ohms and the loksound and pcb working together. Bypassing the config and hooking the large speaker directly to the chip will most likely blow the speaker and definitely void your warranty , just for the record!

Click Pre Order

Then

https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/murphy-models-class-141-181

Same deal as with the Coaches, we purely have a SKU, and intended livery - no other details as yet, so we're inviting an 'EOI' (just an intent) to gauge numbers. 

We will match or beat any other pricing, anywhere, and our usual rewards points and free postage apply.

These are now available to log a preorder / intent with IRM - no payment taken at this point, we also don't have any deco / imagery, details, ETA, or price as yet.

Yes 201’s and indeed more 071 are in the plan. IRm will have preorders live Monday for all announced models

Just wondering if any more thought has been given to 21mm bogie and lighting kits for pre-IRM coaches?

 

 

The plan is to deliver the mk2b and c and def and a and park royals and laminates and mk3 and mk4 and everything else to our standard.
