    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!

    Thanks for this IRM. As models get more expensive it’s reassuring to deal with a company who stands by their products.

    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.

    I think we have to take into account that IRM Mk2’s are produced on the back of the mass UK market product which helps make the Irish models viable. Also if I recall correctly IRM sell the vast majority of their products directly to help make them viable. Paddy Murphy sells all products through retailers as far as I’m aware, so all credit to him for maintaining a very competitive price. I think Fran, Patrick and the team would be the first to admit that Accurascale tandem products help them justify the IRM products.

    No lighting. Never has been in these coaches and I certainly think the typical UK retail prices begin quoted for these no one could expect them to be lit.

    216 has been on it since the 6th January

    I would imagine IRM will judge this on how the 22000 sell and if they are viable. I would buy a couple of 2900’s.

    Thursday one of those days that trains running become a very minor issue.

    Plus the fall out with Bachmann over the Class 66 must have had a big effect on turnover. Like or loathe Bachmann, they are a big player in the UK model railway market

    216 at least adds a little variety

    Services delayed to Easter

    I can’t imagine it being removed until there is less requirement for 201’s to cover the Enterprise, which going by information won’t happen until 2028/29 at the earliest.

    Noel one little question, what lighting bar are you using?
  17. NIRCLASS80
    Today 0800 ex Lanyon Place 231 swapped out for 209 at Connolly
  18. NIRCLASS80
    207 after working the ex Connolly 1650 14/11/23. 207 replaced by 208 today at Connolly after working the ex Lanyon Place 0800
  19. NIRCLASS80
    Delayed departure from Dublin due to a bridge strike earlier in Dublin causing complete mayhem and a late arrival of the Dublin service. Believe me The Enterprise was running 100%, no issues.

    Wrong file. Sorry

    I have one or two Irish models listed on eBay at present https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145352835891?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=k083e4gyS6W&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=k083e4gyS6W&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145352822107?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=k083e4gyS6W&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=k083e4gyS6W&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145352807747?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=k083e4gyS6W&sssrc=2051273&ssuid=k083e4gyS6W&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Sorry but on this occasion this was a highly confidential document. They don’t want you reading it.

    Having previously worked in the automotive industry in 2019 a manufacturer carried out a study on the carbon footprint of a 2 litre diesel saloon and their electric saloon. Both vehicles carrying out 12000 miles per year the crossover point at which the electric vehicle became greener was year 11 based on the batteries still functioning at 80% performance, which is highly optimistic! These are the facts from one manufacturer.

    Ballyercall’s return is getting closer at last!

    174 is a new version of livery, just when I thought I wasn’t spending any money!
