    Class 59’s have a EMD 645 16cyl engine while the Class 66’s and IR 201 Class have a EMD 710 12cyl engine. Class 59’s will pull a heavier train than the other two classes due to different gearing of the traction motors. The only 66’s that might pull a similar load are a small class of heavy haul 66’s that I think maybe only Freightliner have but I’m not sure.

    Now that you have teased us, are any of the railway projects close to announcement/engineering sample stage?
  4. NIRCLASS80
    Hattons already listing some of the items!

    IR stock of Mk2’s and MK3’s will be a must order from me. Thanks again Mr Murphy.

    Personally I would buy likely only one steam engine of any class released that’s in preservation but if it’s a diesel class release I would buy several. Plus Ready to Run stock favours diesel sales now that we have a good selection compared to a few years ago.

    Number 4, 85 or 171 have all been long time excellent performers for the RPSI and fairly numerous in company service days, so win, win. IRM steam would be an incredible step, unthinkable only a short time ago, hopefully some day a reality.

    Northern Ireland Railways loco action

    40’ SeaWheel containers would be great future release
  13. NIRCLASS80
    Three new offerings from C Rail arrived today at Ballyercall!

    I would imagine accurate Mk3 coaches in all variants would still sell well given the amount of orange locos out there to pull, or push them. Also If the moulds can be manufactured in such a way that Irish and UK models can be produced accurately then it spreads the projects overall costs, but it would be a massive project.

    My wish list! C Class also NIR MV NIR 80 Class Bogie timber Short flats for 20’ containers Bagged cement wagons, both versions But I’m sure if IRM produces anything that ran in the late 1980’s and 1990’s then the bank balance will suffer!
  16. NIRCLASS80
    Fran we need timber wagons to carry all them logs your throwing!
  17. NIRCLASS80
    I think pallet cements must be coming from IRM soon.

    Passenger and freight action from Ballyercall

    Given that the UK forums and indeed some manufacturers including the Accurascale lads have already announced new items for 2021 is there any speculation about what is being released by Murphy/IRM this year after the A Class release?
  20. NIRCLASS80
    The bulk Bell will be a must for Ballyercall! Thanks Arran

  22. NIRCLASS80
    DCC Concepts also use to do a direct just like the one above. I have two in a set of vans.
  23. NIRCLASS80
    That’s correct about the decoder needing to see a motor during programming if it’s an old loco decoder . That’s why I always address them when plugged into a loco and also increase the value of CV29 by 1 in one of the decoders being fitted into a pair of the vans. Also by giving them the same address they change the lights automatically with the change of direction

    Photo showing the sad aftermath of the accident. Power car 90 still survives at Downpatrick.
  25. NIRCLASS80
    You require a 8 pin function decoder or I have used old 8 pin decoders that I didn't require anymore and just used the light functions.
