The Irish scene is still very much a drop in the ocean compared to British outline, which is the second largest market in Europe (and one of the largest in the world). Indeed, IRM would not be sustainable by itself, hence Accurascale...

Mis-sent to Dugort... sure the Grundig factory was up near Belfast!
-
Jaysus, lads! We can't do them all at once!
-
But we already said they're arriving today? -
As @Warbonnet said above, there's a lot of unloading, unpacking and processing to be done. Not sure what additional update you want at this point?
-
I've seen a couple of other photos of the Sulzers with snatchers fitted and they also had them fitted in this way; it seems the snatcherman had to travel in the rear cab. I'm not sure if there was a communication system in the cabs or if it was a case of the snatcherman having to run through the engine room to warn the driver if the staff wasn't picked up successfully...

I think some of the old Eastern Bloc countries (maybe Hungary or Bulgaria) had certain railway lines operated by mostly children/teens so that they could gain experience for careers on the railway.

Any chance you could hold yours?
-
Pleased to hear that they have responded promptly when contacted directly. It's becoming clear you have a vested interest in this, so I would politely suggest that the proper way to resolve any issues is to continue to communicate directly rather than sniping at the other side from here as neither party is going to benefit from that.

Great photo, Ernie! Looks like Dromod?
-
Have you taken this up with them directly? I can't imagine it's easy to maintain regular operations with a small group of volunteers at this time.
-
Can you please respond to my question? I get the feeling there's 'skin in the game' here that isn't being declared. My understanding is that it is run by volunteers?
-
Can I ask what the story is with the constant criticism of Fintown?
-
I think they may have been 'borrowed' by IR if a set was caught on the south side of a bomb alert or similar disruption on the Northern line. I have a vague recollection of seeing a set on a Sligo service in the '90s around the time there was trouble with gangs blocking the line at Lurgan...

I actually quite like the appearance of the Bulleid-bodied AECs. Not exactly handsome, but there's still a lot of character there...
-
One of the AEC sets with the Bulleid-designed bodies fabricated at Inchicore. I think most of these were later converted into powered intermediates.

Those pints will do!

For a 'generous donation' in a plain brown envelope we can make doubly sure this doesn't happen...
-
Yes, we generally ship in that order.

After the Crossleys were replaced by the General Motors engines, the locos were turned out in Black & Tan livery with the 'R' suffix to the running number. Then came Supertrain, and finally Irish Rail liveries.
-
Already lined up, @jhb171achill! Unfortunately, Australia is still struggling to cope with Covid and there are still tight restrictions in place, which is preventing us from progressing with this project at the moment...
-
DJ has it spot on. I don't know how you would interpret it any other way, to be honest. And what's wrong with a little tease now and again? Of course we have more announcements to make, but we're only going to raise the curtains when we're ready to do so.

Or has it?

Hi John, We also sell a standard ESU LokPilot decoder, which is optimised for the A Class, if you don't want sound straight away: https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/dcc-decoders/products/a-class-dcc-standard-chip

We're looking at delivery around the end of the first week of September, with shipments to customers commencing the following week.
