    It basically did. Train spotting had decreased dramatically after steam was banished from the railways, scalextrix were far more popular,and many model railway companies closed down.when Thomas came round,it breathed new life into the hobby and many companies,such as Hornby began making " starter sets". Thomas is how I began to love trains and model trains and would later fall in love in Irish railways, but that's another tale....

    to start off a company could simply do 184 and 186

    Possibly Kev. I believe one of the reasons the steam era is not modelled half as much as the diesel era is the lack of rtr models from that era. I have noted, over the past couple of months a bit of an increase in interest in the steam era. Kieran has a good few NCC locos running round. Anto has a nice amount of steamers running round as well. The modified NCC tank no. 4. I myself run steamers and I am in the middle of converting a mogul and a King Arthur . Nelson and his excellent models of NCC. The steam era is a very interresting one..a humble J15 might kick things off......

    And once the diesel era has all locos and( a fare amount) of rolling stock,what's next?

    I think what really sets Irish railway models apart is that because the company is intertwined with the forum so ye know what the majority of the Irish market want. i wish this company the very best. With such a promising start and fantastic support from everyone here. I'd say the orders are filled by the sounds of it! After the ballast wagon and the cement bubble,what else is planned?

    Well lads,I bought some things while at the SDMRC yesterday. Most of the budget went to locos.for a long time I've been wanting to get one of MR Murphys work. I finally got it today with number 073. Fantastic loco. Great runner detail is just brilliant. I also bought a silver fox A class in green. Holy Sambo it is heavy! Reasonably good runner, but very noisy compared with the 071 class! Also bought an N class mogul, which I plan to convert to a woolwich. Will post pics shortly
