Thats the MM NIR 071/111 Class No 11 in earlier livery from the 1980s a limited edition of 250 packs that is fairly sought after by modelers of NIR but I suspect that that 112 and 8113 in their later livery has more interest overall

Ugh, Broithe, please don't remind me of those claustrophobic passenger unfriendly apologies for trains, with their ultra high seats ensuring very little view. Mind you, they are a LITTLE better than their diesel sisters (also introduced for Virgin by people who should have known better) - the VOMITERS (sorry, Voyagers!).
Mind you, things have got worse with the latest horrors foisted on the people of Britain by an uncaring Government - the 800, 801, 802s with their rock hard seats and spartan interiors.
You don't know how lucky you are in Ireland with CAFS, Rotems, etc.
Looks like the Voyager fleet is being replaced with the Trenitalia takeover of the franchise

Your rolling stock is in a terrible state and needs a good wash

Like the DVT on the PP Mk3s. An A class will look even more at home on those Taras soon

Thanks for the reminder. Couple of bundles ordered.

Actually I just realized that AbeBooks is also sold out now (although they're still advertising more than 10 available). It's a good sign for the book. I'm sure more will become available in due course if anyone has missed out

Not sure how prevalent Bedford S types actually were (wasn't around) but this preserved one still bore Wexford plates in 2016

There are some in this album which I'm sure you've seen. It might be worthwhile to search other light rail systems to which the CMLR locos were subsequently transferred such as the Schull & Skibbereen. I have the same book but don't recall what happened to the coaching stock, in there somewhere I'm sure.

That's the way to do it (.....if you're actually interested in building a railway infrastructure). Just look at the freight traffic running at night at up to 100mph.

I would never have anything to do with any item being sent by GSS. It's just a money making racket forced on sellers by EBay.
Completely unnecessary waste of time & money.
Agree completely

Correct! it would apparently be shipped back to Coventry or somewhere and then shipped back to Ireland again. Insane!!

I think you'd want the lights to the rear but not in the direction of travel where the front plough is coupled to the loco. All seems correct unless i'm missing something? Not sure why it's posted here, maybe plough thread would be better?

Unfortunately no! In a nutshell it has been scrapped due to a 'lack of suitable space to do it justice' and the OO new 'Fry model Railway' is being constructed in the space available. I have to say that I like the new layout but agree that it is not like the old. As there are always several interested parties with vigorous opinions, so better to reread some of the previous thread and form your own I suspect.

Quick question guys. How come IRM stock is now shipping from the UK? Just got Royal Mail tracking number for the RAWIE buffer packs (Irish Versions). Are they part of the Accurascale brand now or is it a Brexit thing?
Been getting my outstanding IRM invoices from Accurascale too. Since Accurascale is an entity that has to stand alone from IRM (and I have no particular interest in British outline whatsoever) I was wondering why we are seeing a merging to these 'separate' entities?

Ordered this book from the book depository a week or so ago for €13.80 which is a steal it's the price of a couple of magazines . The book arrived today appropriately enough by An Post !. It's a wonderful book from one of the great photographers of the Irish scene covering mid 1980's to the present day with about 200 illustrations and detailed captions covering all classes of locomotives on passenger ,freight and PWD . This book is a must for anyone wanting to model the Irish scene over the past 30 years .
Just checked online the book depository is now showing out of stock I imagine it's selling faster than they anticipated, this maybe one of these sought after books selling on ebay for a fortune in years to come . Get it while you can!.
Also available on AbeBooks at the same price after conversion and free shipping to the USA!

While browsing through some of Jonathon Allen's photos I noticed some pigeon carriers at Lisburn. I know that rail was used to convey the birds to the starting location in GB but I was wondering how prevalent a practice this was in Ireland?
Was it was confined to fanciers in NI or was this traffic carried by the GSR or by early CIE?

Nice click bait! I'm thinking 'poor lad, maybe the curves are too tight etc. etc.' LOL
Nice start!

Hi Kevin,
We are much lower on pack I numbers wise, so wasnt included. It's a great sale nonetheless, I'm sorry it doesnt work for you.
Regards,
Fran
I just couldn't get 5 of pack J grey bubbles for a rake so I got two Pack I & 3 Pack J which should be a bit less obvious. Still a good deal though!

I was wondering why Pack I was not included, not much point in buying multiples of Pack J only?
