T-6 hours... 

Is there any clue as to the time at the show the next announcement will be? For those of us that are not able to attend

I am wondering the impact of this one to the first run of 141/181's with their value. I was trying to get them as I did not get them all when they were first released. 

Interesting update on Murphy models, I am curious as to anything on the 201 or the Mark 3s, with IRM to have more announcements coming at the weekend also, I think my credit card will need CPR!! 

That was a nice surprise to wake up to, the Lyons Tea container with Harp, is there a plan later on if one wanted to get a couple of packs of the containers themselves, the Lyons Tea and the Harp?

@Warbonnetkilling me dude, lol. 

@KMCE awesome work, I am sorry to read what is going on, good luck with the treatment. take care of yourself man. 

I am just wondering when the first announcement will be made, from what @Warbonnet said, there is one to be announced before the event. It has been interesting to see the speculation on what everyone would like to see. I am all for Ammonia's I am only waiting on them to come. Would be awesome to have a set with a 071 at the head. 

I ordered the Guinness Keg Liners which seemed to re-direct me to the Accurascale website when I ordered, I do not see this order in my account neither

Apologies but that seems crazy money for a model loco. Rarity is in the mind, what's the point of having stuff boxed in a cupboard destained for an executors sale rather than running on layout.

Yeah man thing is well if they find someone to pay that money for it, good for them, but that is away out of what I would consider paying for a loco. if someone pays that 500 that will mean that others may also look for crazy money for any future locos that appear on eBay. This is why even though I do not have one of these, I am gonna pass on this one. 

Interesting to see how much this will go for, that is, if someone does not pay the 500 but it now, https://www.ebay.ie/itm/195316719497?hash=item2d79c89f89:g:nDIAAOSwOKRjDQ7J

My bad will that be all new also or is there a choice going to be there?

Is the option to change the theme gone from the US site? https://irishrailwaymodels.com/en-us It was there last night this morning, it is gone. I am not sure if I was on it or the Irish one last night or the US I was on

Does all pre orders for UK stuff need to be placed on the Accurascale site or will we be eventually able to order them on the IRM site? I know I am looking at a couple of items on there that I hope to pre-order in the next couple of months. 

Looking at the new Bachmann mid year release over here - 

Well from Charleville, you would go to Mallow and from there, head for Killarney and as Broithe would from there to go Tralee. Not sure if you need to get on another train or not from Mallow to go to Kerry as I used to always head from Charleville towards Dublin if I was using the train.

I was keeping my eye on this loco and then the ferts and I got an alert from IRM that A46 was available again, man I am happy I did not look to buy this when I saw it go on ebay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334491375692?hash=item4de13d584c:g:UV8AAOSweopiwD7d

They do have a couple of 121's that seem ok on price:

As for the 181 well from what I have seen lately on 181's that is kinda about where they are

HI, So I decided to check out the class 31's again as I have it in my head to pre-order these in a few weeks, so on the UK site, from the "Locomotives" drop down, you can select the Class 30/31 and it proceeds to get you to view the range, when you pop over to the EU site, it is missing from the drop down. The rest of the locos are there, but the Class 30/31 is missing.

More than likely a quick fix but I figured I would mention it

I do not know.. I am almost tempted to get another one if the single pack to put aside and have one running. I am actually not in love with the idea of taking the one I have out of the box. 

@murphaph enjoy dude, sounds like you are going to have a nice day ahead of you.

Awesome sir, looking forward to
