    A full year late but Ballyercall is in full test mode. Great to be running trains again
  2. NIRCLASS80
    Welcome aboard
  3. NIRCLASS80
    I wonder has the initial sales been more encouraging after the ICR slight disappointment?

    Major signalling fault around the Howth Junction area this evening. These things happen. Safety first.
  5. NIRCLASS80
    Order in for a few too many!

    I think this will be great for Ballyercall’s return. These bring back childhood memories. I will be ordering at least 3. Thanks IRM. Now just announce the 80 class and the MV’s and I’ll sell the house!

    101&102 in blue chevron. 103 was lying in Ballymena yard awaiting scrapping, not sure what year it met the cutters torch, mid 90’s

    No criticism here, I think we are very well served for such a small market. Just wondering is the 20’ container flat easily produced from the existing tooling? I think that would be a great little wagon to compliment the 42’ one. Also the amount of items on special reduction sales in many UK model shops shows a market downturn.

    I’m still saving for that ultimate 80 class!

    Sorry to hear this. I think it just reflects the times. All the household essentials have went through the roof cost wise. I know I have to much more selective and keep to the IR era of the late 80/early90’s. And I have always been blessed with good employment.

    Any updates on the next run of 071/111 locos?
  13. NIRCLASS80
    Facts The DD’s will be with us to 2030 They will only ever run on the Belfast to Dublin route The vast majority of service issues since early July have been delayed buses caught up in congestion on the M1 A1 corridor The number two issue for service delays has been congestion and lost paths on the approach to Connolly I can never understand the constant negativity towards the DD’s as they are not the biggest issue this route currently faces at the moment. Read points 3&4. Facts. I can go on.

    Facts help get a clearer understanding
  15. NIRCLASS80
    DD’s will be in service to the year 2030
  16. NIRCLASS80
    Hourly service will be 3 DD sets, 2 ICR’s and 1 3000 6 car set.
  17. NIRCLASS80
    ExYR in the morning 0438 for Portadown. Then on the 0631 ex Portadown to Dublin

    Several issues with the NIR 110’s that rule out DD haulage in public service/rail tour. Firstly as stated, door control, secondly speed restriction on class, thirdly come the new hourly timetable no stock will ever be available to run anything other than enterprise services. I can keep going but I can safely say DD haulage with passengers with anything other than a 201 won’t be happening.
  19. NIRCLASS80
    Hourly services should be available about six weeks after the two hourly services being introduced
  20. NIRCLASS80
    Two hourly initially.

    What’s with the grey roof on the Mk2 coach? Did they run like that in real life? Interesting model
  22. NIRCLASS80
    New Enterprise power!
  23. NIRCLASS80
    Running smoothness and the sound are possibly the best in the market. It’s the first non North American model that made me think the British market has caught up at last with their quality.
  24. NIRCLASS80
    Colas Class 56 myself. Fantastic model.

    10 years ago this forum basically had little reason to exist there were so few Irish Railway modelling products available. It’s great we have so much to talk about. Sure I don’t agree with everything but that’s life, and with the world on the brink of another world war model railways are the most important thing!
