For anyone attending the show tomorrow, I'll be bringing pre-production samples of the IRM ballast and bubble wagons with me. I should be arriving around 12.30pm and Des has kindly allowed me to utilise the Studio Scale Models stand (stand 9) as a meeting point. See you there!
-
The IRM team will be present and we'll have the EP samples of the ballast and bubble wagons on display. We'll be taking pre-orders for both and we can accept both cash and card payments on the day.

I see the programme for the show is available online: http://nmni.com/Documents/UFTM/Model-Railway-Prog-2016 Really looking forward to it now!

They're not even in that pic, they're staggered...

Indeed, but still better than being left exposed. The only real solution will be to house them, and to that end let's hope planning permission for the new building is approved and it progresses quickly.

Looking forward to this... planning to head up with at least one other member the IRM team.

I think the mantra for anyone heading down to Moyasta is "call in advance" as there's only a small band of volunteers keeping the place ticking over and they're not always there. From what I hear, a planning application has been submited for a shed/museum which will house the stock. The tarpaulin may obscure the view of the stock but it's a necessity, especially around that neck of the woods where the sea air would eat away at the metal in no time.

Hi Bren, It's forum policy that all items offered for sale must include an asking price.

Hi Bren, You'll need to include an asking price in order to advertise it for sale here.

Cheers, John, it was a pleasure to meet you.
-
Hi folks, we don't have any plans to produce beet wagons at the present time. I hope that puts the question to bed.

Hi, JM. The special offer on the bubble rake is available for upfront payment only.

I didn't realise you were branching out into energy bars, Dave! Are they scratchbuilt?

Couldn't manage what practically everyone else has managed to do since the 1830s... -
Also used on the Paris Metro, but only on automated lines...
