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

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

The Eagle Has Landed - NIR Hunslets Next For Accurascale IRM
DiveController replied to Warbonnet's topic in News
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 -
I saw the title and thought Antonov what? I get it now. The cargo involved was the Ukrainian Antonov-124 so I see the name is a portmanteau of that and the GM 201 class locomotive

They will probably look good relative to the track It should be getting power directly from the track. Try another coach to troubleshoot, whether it’s the pickup or the lighting kit.

Shipping to US, metro area, not the backwoods or anything...., looks like the cost just keeps offing rising the more I order (but more locally you get free shipping for ordering more). Same will happen with ICRs I suspect, so since that not my era its hard to expect us to support that IRM project at these rates over here -

Been considering which of these I wanted to get for the last several days and after finalized my list, I realized that shipping would be a whopping $157!! I checked my account and realized that I paid with $25 to ship 4 A class a couple of years ago, a 300% shipping increase for ROW. Who else has been hit with this increase in ROW and how much has it changed for you guys? I had planned to get an ICR or two also but that just went on hold -
You might have too map this out but some of the routes might be shortened at certain hours so inserted some additional/alternative route destinations ABOVE although i can't be certain there were during your specified time period
-
Not an export , would know a few of the routes like 5 or 8 maybe 10. I donate know if there would be timetables, probably so, floating on eBay. Flickr is decent resource at times for pics. What specifically are you after? https://www.ebay.com/itm/353063046528 https://oldphotosofcork.wordpress.com/2022/07/20/the-busses-of-cork/ There's a guy called Paul on tapatalk that collects cork city timetables about 2012, if h'es still around maybe touch base on that forum?

Working on that now and the information supplied is very helpful. If memory serves the 111s began to displace the Hunslets on the The Enterprise from the outset (at least, 1981) with the addition of the new gennys (in lieu of HEP) and cessation of the use of the driving trailers (for that purpose). Was the Enterprise still hauled by the Hunslets as late as 1983? -

Yes and yes. They got the first blue livery c 1979 with red arc which was refreshed with the red chevron about 1988 but Merlin was withdrawn in 1989. Falcon got a darker blue (yellow ends) as the longest survivor in 1996 before it withdrawal from service in 1998. I think Eagle was out of service by that time But which era? I have to get the blue of course but I'm hoping for a limited run of coaches to go with the maroon and blue, choices out of those four .....difficult -

Anyone know which models have the TDm cabling and where it is located? Maybe above the headlight on the ends of the blue models? Are lamps fitted to some of the models (present in one of the color diagrams)? -
I realize that they said a locomotive announcement and not necessarily steam. Love the Hunslet but the whole 'Irish steam' model development is getting as old as the prototypes. I am NOT wishing for a Jeep but knowing the IRM strategy of model development, that may well come to pass. Anyway off now to check out the SHOP for some Hunslets by NIRM

New Murphy Models 071 Class Locos Likely in 2024
DiveController replied to DJ Dangerous's topic in News
Ah, I see. Haven't seen this in the flesh as an ex-pat. Are there many of these in service? When did they enter service? Presuabnly as a hybrid the use the DART electrified network and can run south of it also? -

There were some decent threads 4-5 years back. I’ve haven't been as active on here since the pandemic so forgot some of the detail since. @DJ Dangerous will probably sort you out with links ….and I forgot to say that some of the lorries and trailers wouldn’t go amiss either if the opportunity arises, … the more variety the better @Warbonnet is there a recording of the 8CSVT or how is that being handled for the appropriate locos @BosKonay -

Wonder what the Maroon will pull given their conspicuous absence of that livery from the Mk2bs? Possibly test the orders for Maroon locomotives to gauge potential interest in that early livery. Nice to see these after the somewhat intense discussion surrounding the ICRs, (which I still want too) but I love these more for sure …. and since you guys like to produce what you can easily scan and measure, maybe someone tripped and scanned and adjacent loco while at Cultra? (save you guys heading across the county and all that) I’ll have a nice Class 20 chassis getting its original shell replaced very shortly too -
Easy to see a 'better' choice with the retrospectoscope but Im not sure that a rerun of A class would be as viable as your hink as least this soon. I, for one have multiples of most and would not be in the market for any more renumbers unless there was something new, and there was not that much that was not covered with the A class as far as I can see.I do like the Arrows, though I would prefer to see an earlier era railcar, which in light of this update seems unlikely, unless the internal working electronic etc made that viable. So oddly, I had intended to purchase several of the then including the RTE Music week sound fitted, which is alluring for an sentimental ex-pat. Funds were then diverted elsewhere, then they were 'sold out', so least I have the option to purchase one (or two ) again now.
