I contacted Rails about this and they said it may take several weeks for them to complete the process from Hattons. They told me they will be reaching out to those to placed pre-orders for them. So we wait a little more.... 

Has Rails made up with Hornby or something? https://railsofsheffield.com/collections/hornby

@WRENNEIRE @Noel Merry Christmas to you and to everyone on here. I hope everyone has a enjoyable day. 

They also had MM5217, by the time I hopped on there, drat, gone. 

Rails have also put them on their website, https://railsofsheffield.com/collections/murphy-models

Pretty cool to have a Big Boy come to the rescue of a freight train

Sorry to hear this, RIP

I stumbled across this article where the Big Boy is currently coming east bound - https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/2023-schedule-union-pacific-big-boy-returns-to-steam-with-its-home-run-express/?fbclid=IwAR3Uy6WBRYajVZ4KpqIGQ-tHPR-_SoyR9Igs3uGsIBPoexBApjHFUxVwVQw In case someone just happened to be in Iowa or Nebraska. 

Not sure if anyone is interested in getting a Dapol Class 59, I was watching them for a while as it is a loco I love to own, curses Hattons, had to pull the trigger and get one, at this rate, my credit card will never recover - https://www.hattons.co.uk/directory/versiondetails/article?id=308&utm_source=klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=flashsale-modvehid1858-dapolclass59&_kx=ZbJe5uNpQjBDTO7dQJjA8Whif6nhu5M76nFk8Vt9LKratwpFjwwesSxtsYwMv0Rh.JGQeXh

@BosKonay awesome thanks for the update

I think there is a queue for that original RPSI set, I am also keeping eyes peeled for about 12 months now for one. I had seen the one lately on Facebook, however the seller would not ship over here to me so the search continues.......

Quick question, @Warbonnet or @BosKonay I was just thinking, is there any update on the sound decoder for the A Class Crossley sound decoder? Figured I would poke the question.

Marked as spares but not sure if the parts you need are on either of them

Maybe? http://www.studio-scale-models.com/Locos.shtml# at the bottom of the page, they are listed

Varied, approx 300 pounds sterling and up

I do have a question on the Park Royals, as there are some at the RPSI, any possibility of a release in conjunction with the RPSI? 

After watching the one that was aired, I saw this one from last week, on the North - https://www.rte.ie/player/series/nationwide/SI0000001172?epguid=IH10000974-23-0041

@DJ Dangerous fair play, I am waiting on my own one to come from the UK also. Not a bad price for that one

lol, plan to keep all parts as advised while working on the wishlist..

DJ makes a fair point, I am still working on paying off for my ICRs and I want to place an order for more sets. I am no in panic for an announcement at the moment. If one comes, I will not complain, it will make me scratch my head for a minute as planning for whatever it is.

Course it does not help that Accurascale have a couple of more items announced that I am like God dang it, lol. A class 50 and a 66 would be sweet. 

I took a carry-on bag full of trains from Ireland to the US a few ago, security did look at the bag and they looked at the couplings and I advised, if they were to harm anyone, it's all over. I explained that they were model trains that belong to me. He checked with a supervisor and I was left go, that was pretty much it. 

What model decoder is it? Is it a Murphy Models decoder or is it something else? If it is not a Murphy Models decoder, did you or someone else flash a sound file to it?

Is anyone else finding the chat is not working on the IRM website? Even during office hours, it does not let me type anything to get a chat going as I was looking to speak to support. 

They were 120 euro a pop and the factory weathered ones were a little more expensive, I cannot remember the cost of those. Going off memory on these.
