Can’t wait for these to arrive. Hopefully I will have a layout sorted again.

It’s also worth bearing in mind that making lots of accurascale mk2’s is the only and sole reason we can afford tO make NIR mk2’s. Leveraging the UK brand makes unviable Irish models workable.
So how about a BR Class 20 and then use the chassis to produce a NIR Mk2 hauler!

Hi Noel,
The NIR variants of these Mark 2 coaches ran on CIE metals daily every day of their service careers, so perfectly part of the Irish scene and equally at home in our range. The Mark 2Bs also did not run in IR/IE liveries, so the only cross over possible was NIR. They also ran on railtours across the country, not to mention rugby match specials to Landsdowne Road, a direct service for the ferry at Dun Laoghaire and of course, multiple daily Enterprise services. They bring a lovely dash of colour to the orange and black scene. And also, after bringing out lots of CIE centric models, it was great to be able to serve fans of NIR with models for once, the first bespoke models for NIR ever. We have a large percentage of our customer base north of the border and they seem very happy to see these. Also, with the sky high prices NIR liveried locomotives currently command, perhaps the demand is not as limited as you may believe? Those locos need something to go behind them too.
They also carry what is probably the best liveries that these coaches wore, but that's perhaps a biased personal opinion.
Further Irish outline coaches will be forthcoming in time too, but patience as always, is required.
Cheers!
Fran
Just announce those 80 Class DEMU’s! You know it makes sense!

Love the tall grass on some of these photos. How did you do it? Is it static grass?
Yes static grass. I’m sorry I can’t really give you details as my modelling gear is currently all packed up other than it was from the WWS grass range. It’s available on eBay.

The only way I found to avoid problems with the kadee magnets was to hinge them and motorised them up and down as uncoupling required.
If you watch the attached video link from about 4 minutes and 5 seconds you will see what I mean.- 6

Looks fantastic. Well done.

I reckon something 2 axle and after the quick sales of the CIE A class models easily justified.

Simply fantastic looking

I have only ever dealt with Charlie at a few shows. Usually the stall is queued out and over a very short space of time answers endless questions. On asking any questions you get swift, no bull answers, take it or leave it. His style maybe different but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.
Happy show customer. Never tried a mail order transaction.

If you need somebody to store the layout for you, I'm happy to volunteer!
Believe me I would be happy to flog it as layouts are a pain to store!

Well the end has arrived. Here’s a rather long video of trains coming and going at Ballyercall. There might be one more video and then it’s box it up time.

ESU sound decoders can have a current overload set to operate. I would remove the decoder, refit the blanking plate and try on standard DC. See if the motor runs hot or if the loco runs significantly slower than you would expect. It sounds more like a faulty motor than anything else.
