MOGUL

I already have a 20ft essentially, have added two book shelves in the last few weeks, the boxes of books went onto the shelves, and then the boxes got filled with lovely Mk2 packs! That reminds me, I need to call to Woodies to get some more boxes for my CIE/IE mk2s!

I am far from an impartial observer, but purely from my viewpoint as an aspiring modeller/collector of Irish Railway models, it is a sign of the rude health of the hobby that we have not 3 separate arrivals from two different companies in one week. That is on top of five arrivals of Irish models so far this year from IRM(Mk2s, bulleid flats and bulleid opens) and MM(MK2ds and 141/181s). We have come along way since when I started buying Irish models back in 2009, or even since IRM's first product launch back in 2018. In fact, space to store all these new arrivals is now my biggest problem rather than the scarcity or cost of what is available. I have found my self having to actually be strategic in what I do or don't buy instead of just buying everything Irish!

It probably tallies with what An post said to you, rather than being contradictory. The 0 value on his entry may have been the missing information on the electronic customs entry that An post were referring to. It was the only thing that I spotted that was wrong on the entry you posted.. Not sure about the 5 for 4 offer, maybe he hasn't shipped any to Ireland since An Post started insisting on correct electronic entries for overseas orders, which was about 18 or 24 months ago now if I recall..

I have a feeling there might be a plentiful supply of Hornby class 60s looking for new homes soon

That has been An Post's standard approach for a good while now, they put the onus on their overseas Postal partner to get the info correct and they won't deviate from it no matter what you tell them. It is massively frustrating being caught in the middle and seeing your package bounce back and forward across the Irish sea, but it is understandable in a way as otherwise they would be overwhelmed by a wave of mis-declared imports that would be very labour intensive to fix and clear.

I was about to reply and say the entry itself looks mostly fine except for the 0 value.. But the electronic info behind it is what really matters as An Post insist on a correct electronic entry since Brexit

Hi George, We will have more stock on sale shortly once all the pre-orders are despatched.. Regards Andrew

Mine arrived and a suitable load was located(sort of).. Coupled up snugly to some Bachmann cattle wagons I have with no issues(don’t have much 2 axle stock)

Sorry that should read third countries, i.e ones that aren’t members of the EU or EFTA

I think you are getting two seperate scenarios confused to be honest.. What @BosKonaysaid is as that VAT is payable on courier fees, i.e if you are booking a shipment with DPD/UPS/FedEx/DHL then you pay VAT on the courier fees but not to An Post/RM/DHL post Germany if you post with them. He then elaborated that VAT is payable on an import shipment, as the value used by customs for calculating the VAT due is the landed value. This covers all costs incurred to get the shipment to the point of arrival(including shipping/postage).. So if I buy item x for €100 from a third world country, and pay €10 postage, then the VAT due will be €110(purchase price plus postage) x 23 per cent

We have a small re-stock of Keg stacks and Palletised bags headed for our warehouse also, so keep an eye on those dropping into stock some time next week https://irishrailwaymodels.com/products/bag-loaded-pallets-stacks https://irishrailwaymodels.com/products/5-stacks-of-kegs-90-keg-version

Hi Martin, I have checked on our side, and can confirm that your bulleid open order will be picked and on the way to you either today or on Monday.. Your flats order is also in progress and you should see an email with the tracking for this drop into your inbox shortly Regards Andrew

Just going to drop this here, Accurascale fans will know what's inside..

That's who I had in mind, but I didn't seem to get any bites on here or on adverts in the week it was up. I stuck it up on Facebook on Wednesday morning, and had 5 offers by lunchtime, was collected and paid for on Wednesday.. Can't argue with that

The first 3 fall into the realms of possible, although OOCL has been done a couple of times as both 40ft DV(Dapol and C-rail I think) and 40ft HC(Dapol current release) as has Consent leasing(Bachmann 13.6m). Containerships yellow is a glaring omission so far on any size of box But a Boulda 20ft HC I can't see ever being a runner in OO, its the wrong region for the gauge and I don't think we see very many in UK or Ireland.. It's also a unusual height that not many others use, so would need to be a bespoke tooling with only a few livery options. In my 12 plus years in shipping I have never once had a shipment by 20ft dry van container that is anything other than 8ft 6in.

Not sure if this one has passed you by Jonathan, but falls solidly into no.3 https://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/products/erf-lv-flatbed-trailer-n-ireland-trailers-76lv004 A long way from Norn Irn to Dugort harbour mind.

Now reduced to €150

What settings did you use to get that out, ulsterscots to English?

After all the discussion on here about these, I thought I would dig this out of my parents attic and find it a home where it sees a bit of use. Box and model are both in excellent condition, and the train it self has seen very little running. A small tweak I did was removing the plastic gangways the model came with, and replacing them with grey blanking plates. This mimics real life, with at least one Limerick set being so treated before the class was removed from service. Looking for €150 with free delivery in Dublin or P&P elsewhere at cost

Reduced to €35 if any one is interested

Odd one, are you sure it wasn’t a 29000 hauled DART transfer to Drogheda for wheel turning and it was a different DART that headed into the sidings?
