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 They got the first blue livery c 1979 with red arc which was refreshed with the red chevron about 1988 but Merlin was withdrawn in 1989.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

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

Either of the birds would be fine with me

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

He does like that hat

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.

and they're all gone

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

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

Any update on these?

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?

Arse! Previously, we had a countdown to a countdown! Which one is this? And where is the countdown , not visible on the site? Arse…, Feck! …., Fran is coming again

Ok, figured out you guys all left early for the Wexford Show. Patrick helped me get it all sorted and paid
