Was looking at these in Marks Models today but they didn't seem to have a detail pack. Should they come with one? Thanks.,
Detail Pack included below the plastic insert into the box.
Includes spare handrails.
Also remember these models are coming with horn and vac hose fitted compared to the original ones-

The plan is a 6am departure from both ends so arrival should be well before 9am

Current plan is 8 trains, each comprising of 8 coaches will be ordered.
it might not be what is got but that’s the plan.
See this link for the general outline of plan.

I would would imagine €230 to €250 mark going on present pricing for these small limited runs.
It shows you why IRM have to cut out the middle man to make it work.-

So DDs will be going in 2029?
2029 or 2030 at the latest. Nothing new is ordered yet. From the order date it’s three years minimum before a new train arrives here. Plus commissioning, trials, driver training and engineering training. I would say if you ordered now mid 2028 would be good going.

@NIRCLASS80I have not counted any substitution on the Enterprise since 26 February
There is a lot of effort by many to improve things since late November.
-
I think you should see a significant improvement in the first three months of 2024.

The photo above is just a reminder of how good these models were on release over 15 years ago and they still look stunning. Well done Mr Murphy for producing more.

Prosecuting someone for 'handling stolen property' is a bit of a dick move on his part IMO
If it was your stolen property would you feel the same!
Just imagine having something stolen, then it appears on eBay and saying, that’s fine! NOT!

@NIRCLASS80 will the 1023 at Moira get me to Portadown tomorrow to see the 1109 ex Portadown departing and see the 0930 ex Dublin arriving?
In theory it should, and according to the timetable definitely, but then again would I bet my life on it,
, No!

Some NIR coaches available on the Irish Railway Models website.
Locomotives are currently like hen’s teeth and will only improve once someone produces more or new models.

Fantastic show. Well done by Tony

Just announce the Hunslet at Bangor to go with the enterprise coaching stock, along with the 80 class and then the MV’s and then the final announcement of all NIR Modellers declaration of bankruptcy!

Enterprise back to normal then!
Slightly harsh. The Enterprise service has been remarkably reliable this year so far. More issues with signal failures, trespassing etc than the actual train itself.
A point often overlooked is the coaching stock is now 27 years old and locomotives 29 years old.
At this stage the much glorified Irish Rail Mk3s were being recycled to bean tins and the 071’s gone from front line passenger duties.
Northern Ireland Railways 80 Class were on their knees by this stage.
Meanwhile the 201’s and the DD’s keep pounding away with up over 700 miles a day required for one turn.
Things could be a lot worse.
