Bit of tooling variation and … maybe a bit late for that.

Mine seem to be good and they’re getting close to 2 decades I think. Repainting a newer one would have to be professionally done just to get the 6’ driving wheels and the are a few other minor differences which would persists in this if it’s true to British N class. Nonetheless possibly still an option for those who don’t have the Bachmann ones. Maybe someone will commission a few of these again in CIE/MGW or better again some niche 12 wheelers so I can make a boat train Miss those CADs like we had on the ballasts

I have the Bachmann originals, wonder how much better these would be if at all?

@WarbonnetIt would be helpful if you could prioritize shipping the Class 89s to the US. I have not received a confirmation that mine have been shipped at all as yet? Thanks, K

Nice looking model! I do like that livery. Unfortunately no longer into British outline for a couple of decades now, and funds have to be apportioned somewhere, so Irish it is for now. Looks to be decent pricing seeing as everything has really hit the eBay prices everyone used to complain about.

Hoping for some centennial and papal nuncio boards/flags in the bag of bits

Can anyone confirm when the red nameplates were fitted to the 800s (other than Maedh) and earlier or later then the blue plates with FS? Would the time line for liveries have been 800 GS, 802 light green, CIE DRK GREEN (FS), CIE DRK Green, Preserved ... and where for the red plates and which years? I'm surprised that IRM doesn't include this information on the website give the amount of research it must have done on the models and liveries, and front views like the Hunslets since the differences were mainly in the smoke box area @BosKonay I'm limiting to 4 only of the models due to events in the US and appreciate any insights into liveries/dates. TIA

The mother’s side is not the problem

ON the flip side of the coin, it seems I can no longer purchase models using the US dollar which seems to have disappeared from the drop down list of currencies on the website. However those of you in UAE and Liechtenstein are good to go..... Hopefully this was not in the anticipated raft of improvements on the website? @BosKonay

Long done

A Dutch and rebuilt Dutch might be worth a go! I suppose the one superb 6 wheel double boilers is out of the question?

What's SYP ? BUMP

So unfortunately not, Stephen. IRM is currently charging these rates to ROW. Those of you in ROW may not notice if you only order one or two locos but you certainly will for a larger order! I have been looking an old waybill from one of my orders but they've been discarded. What would be the country of origin be for models due for delivery to US in 2025 (Ireland or China)? @BosKonay

Great information . The dimensions you mention amount to no more 1-2mm in 4mm scale, so url;ees we see an rt the 2ft rule would certainly apply to BR based modifications Palvan's were an interesting little wagon, a firm favorite of mine

Been waiting on a reply from Andrew regarding this and in the interim the cost has increased by $43 per loco or $335 added to my order. Something's broken alright. I have decided to cancel the potential purchase. Not impressed @Ironroad I think they have taken your comment to heart, Dave Might go into Spanish locos like your 31.2
