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

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

Good man, Eamonn!~ Nicely done

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

Where did the Marks Special Commission come from? I have the original one (by Bachmann iirc). these seem to beHOrnby and are not DCC ready either.....

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?

what is this? the present day DART?

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
