    228 on Easter Monday with set 9002. Some interior views as well
  2. NIRCLASS80
    All I know is eight weeks July/August
  3. NIRCLASS80
    Eight weeks, July August.

    Some NIR coaches available on the Irish Railway Models website. Locomotives are currently like hen’s teeth and will only improve once someone produces more or new models.

    Fantastic show. Well done by Tony

    I need to stop this addiction now!
  7. NIRCLASS80
    Still my favourite Irish model.

    Just announce the Hunslet at Bangor to go with the enterprise coaching stock, along with the 80 class and then the MV’s and then the final announcement of all NIR Modellers declaration of bankruptcy!

    Slightly harsh. The Enterprise service has been remarkably reliable this year so far. More issues with signal failures, trespassing etc than the actual train itself. A point often overlooked is the coaching stock is now 27 years old and locomotives 29 years old. At this stage the much glorified Irish Rail Mk3s were being recycled to bean tins and the 071’s gone from front line passenger duties. Northern Ireland Railways 80 Class were on their knees by this stage. Meanwhile the 201’s and the DD’s keep pounding away with up over 700 miles a day required for one turn. Things could be a lot worse.

    As far as I am aware it will be July/August.

    Nice to see something positive about the hobby.
  12. NIRCLASS80
    Six to eight week closure during the summer at some stage required.
  13. NIRCLASS80
    That’s not a rumour.
  14. NIRCLASS80
    Looks fantastic. Well done
  15. NIRCLASS80
    Fantastic images as usual. Always have a soft spot for the Enterprise workings, especially the 1990’s.

    Is there any where on this site showing the best way to dismantle these coaches so that the interior can be detailed?
  17. NIRCLASS80
    Would love to be ordering some of these but still waiting for NIR ones!
  18. NIRCLASS80
    Any update on these yet?
  19. NIRCLASS80
    Has anyone in the UK received them yet? I know I ordered and paid them early on but I have heard nothing
  20. NIRCLASS80
    Any word of deliveries to NI?
  21. NIRCLASS80
    We’re these not due by the end of January?
  22. NIRCLASS80
    I think in the case of the Murphy Models Mk2”s the price increase has been minimal since the last run and Paddy should actually be congratulated on keeping the price very competitive during a time of world wide inflation. If things are so bad do a bit of modelling and fix it!
  23. NIRCLASS80
    Thanks for this IRM. As models get more expensive it’s reassuring to deal with a company who stands by their products.
  24. NIRCLASS80
    That’s slightly harsh. Over the last ten weeks actual train problems have decreased significantly. But the weather and other external factors have contributed to far more problems. Also if you take Scotrail and many other operators in the UK now just announce a blanket closure from a certain time due to adverse weather conditions perhaps that’s the easy route and just leave people stranded. NIR and IE staff continue to try to deliver a service in what can only be described as challenging conditions.

    I think the Mk2’s are the first IRM coaches. You’re correct the Irish Mk2 by IRM were announced first but I would think the Accurascale ones were well in the planning by that point.
