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?

The Eagle Has Landed - NIR Hunslets Next For Accurascale IRM
DiveController replied to Warbonnet's topic in News
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? -
The Eagle Has Landed - NIR Hunslets Next For Accurascale IRM
DiveController replied to Warbonnet's topic in News
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 They got the first blue livery c 1979 with red arc which was refreshed with the red chevron about 1988 but Merlin was withdrawn in 1989.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 -
The Eagle Has Landed - NIR Hunslets Next For Accurascale IRM
DiveController replied to Warbonnet's topic in News
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? -

The Eagle Has Landed - NIR Hunslets Next For Accurascale IRM
DiveController replied to Warbonnet's topic in News
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 -
The Eagle Has Landed - NIR Hunslets Next For Accurascale IRM

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.

Well, it’s Friday again in that time zone. As long as they turn up complete and intact it’s all good, but they’re making me a bit nervous

Rapido Launch "Evolution" Range of 48 Foot Generic Bogie Coaches
DiveController replied to DJ Dangerous's topic in News
May are happy with the 2ft rule until something better comes along -
Yeah, having an effing real J-O-B is such a drag. Imagine not being able to sit online like that

And.... same. I'm not in a great rush but when you don't know when they'll ship or guesstimate on intl. ship times it can be tricky to receive your parcel or not have it melt after delivery at the front door. Once, my wife has ordered some frozen goods which were delayed by a hurricane and arrived when we were out of town. Some models arrived at the same time and our kindly neighbor made sure they both made it to the freezer section in the garage Surprised that 'Steve'@DJ Dangerous hasn't take you up on phraseology, he's slacking

I believe that the issue with the Irish coaches was systemic rather than sporadic based on the many examples I purchased myself. IRM would know how many bogies would need replacement for every customer based on their own order books. I presumed that they would eventually issue replacements rather than everyone having to make warranty requests which is a very inefficient process even for them. I have none of the UK coaches in question but surprised Accurascale didn’t already clarify your question. Again they should be able to issue the correct bogies in due course I would say.

Free for some … been discussed previously. But I do have some points. How do I access their value at checkout? IRM ordering process for ex-EU is much simpler than having to email Marks to refund the VAT which should not have been charged to begin with

Haulin' Oats! Grain Wagons Next For IRM's "Project Bulleid"
DiveController replied to Warbonnet's topic in News
Don’t seem to be many pictures of the grain loading process unlike the beet haulage -
I thought the was gonna be an update around the time of the Wexford show and thought I had missed out on that. Thanks for info

FREe MOney, you use it for new IRM models!

Is the IRM product being shipped even in possession of a single courier company from pickup to delivery? This seems possible only if they operate their own road vehicles and planes. Are the products handled by the courier solely when loading and unloading at airports/containerized and secured prior to handling by a third party? and what is the situation at customs?
