NIRCLASS80

More importantly is the Ferts still looking ok for delivery before Christmas or is that wishful thinking. It's just I can get the better half to buy me some for a present!!

These must be getting really close!  

Great info lads. 

Can't wait, keep working day and night. 

These look fantastic lads. I personally find these the most exciting model since IRM was founded. 

Off course when you announce the Class80 then it will be king!!!

Can’t wait for these. Many childhood memories of the ferts to Derry. I need ten please!!

Yes, the first time I drove in I thought I was going to end up going over the M50 pedestrian bridge! 

The big news tonight is that we will have two new things to show you all on top of the decorated Tara. So make sure to pop along if you can! 

Will you be posting some images of the 2 mystery products online?

I think the reasons for the pricing are pretty obvious.  I for one always steered clear of Irish modelling due to the lack of freight wagons and had modelled Canadian scene for over twenty years. Having been used with really good quality ready to run wagons (freight cars) it made kit building less attractive. 

Now with the exchange rate 3 high quality freight cars from North America cost more than IRM products. 

So thanks to IRM and a Canadian clear out I have purchased a collection of Irish Locos and Coaches from Murphy and lovely ballast and bubbles from IRM and a very enjoyable layouts. Thanks lads and keep those products coming.

Traverser completed and ready for action. 

Order placed. Hope they are as good as the hoppers. 

I think it was more like 3 minutes!😂

Great to see such demand. Perhaps a rerun of the Irish Cement logo ones are in order. 

Track panel completed 

All the best lads. 

Looks good, can’t wait 😊 

Thanks Fran for your answer. Can't wait now!

Will the 42’ flat chassis be plastic or diecast??

One last question, any chance of more discount codes?!!!!!!!

I think this is the most resounding vote of confidence in the Irish model railway market to date, so it's up to us to support it. 

Is the weed sprayer coach based on a Mk1 steam generating van?  If it is that must really boost the possibility of it appearing. 

Fantastic to see the fertilisers and all the rest.  I'll make a start with 10 ferts!!!😂👍

Hi BTB

NIRClass80 is referring to 21mm broad gauge in his comment 'correct scale' I reckon,

Peco Bullhead is OO gauge (16.5mm) you don't have to change your rolling stock for Code 75 or 100

The difference is;- code 100 is a taller rail at 1.6mm high and code 75 is finer scale at 1.34mm high which is more like the real thing. The gauge is the same on both at 16.5mm. The only time you might experience code 75 problems is with really old locos or stock with deep wheel flanges, and then you would have to replace wheels on them to run on code 75.

Eoin

Eoin, you are 100% correct I was referring to 21mm scale when I said correct scale.  All locos and rolling stock are running fine with the wheelsets straight from the box. 

I like the look of the new Peco Bulkhead track. The points without the hinge half way along the blade is also a nice touch. If I had more free time I would have went for the correct scale of track and regauge my rolling stock. Sometimes compromising is the only option. 

WARNING. The fishplates are rather frustrating to fit!😁
