I think the only reason the 201's are slow sellers is due to the large number of Lima models already in the market and some people are perfectly happy with them. Remember the 141/181's from Murphy also didn't disappear immediately. Irish model market is limited, when compared with most markets it is tiny. We are very fortunate that people like Murphy models took the initial gamble and that them and IRM continue to invest and strengthen the standard of RTR models. Back to Mark 3's, I think we will see better quality ones sometime as they are just such an iconic coach.

Would Irish Railway Models consider commissioning a special run from Oxford Rail of modern standard Mark 3's as it looks like they have executed them rather well and they are such an iconic coach for Irish railways for a 20year period??
-
Thanks for the update, better right than rushed, gives us more time to save for an extra set or two!
-
How's the production of "The Bubbles" going lads??
-
Reduced to £45.
-
Lovely work, great modelling.
-
4 wagons manufactured from Dapol POA wagons nice runners £60 including Postage.
-
Fantastic models is all I can say. Really impressed, just about to sell off my North American stock so that I can fund a Tara rake purchase. Cannot wait for the bubbles! Keep up the good work lads, brillant
-
That fiddle yard is amazing never mind the layout
-
This is one Gareth but sadly I don't have a container of Autoballasters or I would retire! I do have a couple of them which I might put on eBay to buy a few more IRM bubbles!
-
lovely modelling. well done,
-
Same here. Any update on delivery?
-
I was looking forward to the IR version myself.
-
I would say that the "beet" wagons will eventually appear from IRM as they ran in long rakes, meaning that for anyone trying to recreate that in model form would likely run at least 12 wagons too get the "look". I have no connection with IRM so this is just a future assumption and may well depend on the success of the wagons being released.
-
Great looking wagon, can the fertiliser bogie be the fourth announcement please!!
-
Great too see the bubbles are well on their way. Just too bad the weathered version wasn't accepted but that's democracy.

NIRCLASS80 replied to Blaine's topic in What's On?
Was there any information on how the Murphy 121 is coming along? -
What about us all begging Oxford to include the Irish options in the body moulds so that we could have great Mark 3's, with great cravens, with great ballast wagons, with great cement bubbles, with great 071's,201's,141's,181's,121's hopefully soon and what ever other IRM projects are announced soon!!
-
Noel you dirty dog.
-
If they are weathered to the standard of the Dapol Silver Bullet Slurry wagons then I would happily buy them. Keep up the good work.

Best way is to listen to the various EMD/GM sound files and pick the one that gives you the sound you think is right for the loco. Sound is so subjective that the best way to pick is please your own ear! Its your model railway!
-
FT versions can be easily created using the suitable engine sound from the North American selections. These sound files are fantastic quality, a real move forward since the release of the original Murphy Sound files.
-
You are all doing just great, plus it will give us some time to save!!
-
Hint, Hint!!

ESU have recently introduced an option called "Full Throttle" to there North American range of sounds. These can be downloaded and the Irish horn and station announcements edited onto them using the ESU Lokprogrammer. I have done this and the engine sound is terrific. See the video in post number 11.
