NIRCLASS80

I know I am delighted with mine. The red marker lights not being independently switched is the only thing that requires modifying. 
Murphys even model the blanked foot steps on the cab front as modified in real life by IE. 
 

Can I just say thanks to everyone for their encouragement and kind remarks about my layout now and over the last four years. I have really enjoyed running Ballyercall. 
 

I don’t really enjoy the layout building process but I am a bit picky about running a layout as prototypical as possible. 
 

This model forum is possibly the best for positive comments on the internet. 
 

Another massive plus over the last four years is the freight stock over this period. 
It’s ok having all the locos in the world but it was the appearance of IRM and the different freight wagons that dragged me away from Canadian modelling after twenty years. 
 

Now I will get a few last photos taken and start saving for an IRM NIR 80 Class!

Perhaps it will expand enough to be renamed Ath na Tel?

You’ll have to help me here?

Hi NIRCLASS80,

I have thoroughly enjoyed your various video and picture postings as part of my rookie learning process - lovely layout and train movements.

Does this imply an end to this particular layout ? - if so, what next ?

 

The layout will be stored until it’s relocated although that could be months away. Then hopefully space permitting it will become a through station. 

Ballyercall has been issued with a closure notice in 28 days time. Looks like Boxing Day will be the end of the line for Ballyercall. 

No connection but just after seeing these.  Best price I have seen yet.

Pictures are brilliant 

The last time I saw the same camera body on eBay it was for sale at £30!

Were there equal amounts of A classes per model produced or was it a release of how things went with pre-sales and added a certain percentage to what was pre-sold? I am curious to know how many were released for each one. 

 

I would imagine that is commercially sensitive information as why would a company tell other companies the size of the market. I know I wouldn’t other than limited edition numbers. 

One of the great features of the Z21 app that you can use with the Digikeijs system is the ease with which you can access functions and move them around to suit your requirements. I have included a couple of screenshots to show this. 

You coming back to the hobby at a great time for Irish modellers. Enjoy

Sorry but that video doesn’t do the models justice. The sudden start really annoys me when the technology is there to do it right. 

I do like these!

Just some action from Crewe Basford Hall for modern modellers of the British scene.

Could everyone stop being so reasonable, I want mine now!
