Oh yeah, the current pace of annoucments and releases from IRM is just about right for me personally finanically.

Many thanks for the update Fran. Email sent.

Has IRM removed the ability to defer payment on pre-orders? Trying to pre-order these and the direct debit option seems to be missing.

Stunning, simplely stunning and an impressive replica of real life.

1. Legal requirements, any projects that impact on public land require public consultation. Since DART + West, South West and Coastal all include stuff like brand new depot, level crossing closures, construction of new bridges, substations, they require that the public be allowed to give their say on things. DART + BEMU infrastructure is all taking place on Irish Rail land will only require planning premission instead. 2. Growing towns, growing demand for expansion of DART and a by-election win in Greystones. 3. The aim is to start with 10 min frequency and ramp up over the years to a 3 min frequency.

Trial run expected on the 6th March to Maynooth for crew refreshers

Thanks, was quite happy with how it all turned out for a first attempt.

Maca visiting a friend's layout.

Oops wrong thread

Bogies are the only tricky bit but it still went together in an evening or two. Spent nearly as long building it as cutting the seat kits to fit in. Looking at Popeye's thread, he says he replaced the ends to be flat ends

They do indeed, to quote a certain show, here's one I prepared earlier:

Des does them if you ask, there was post on this forum, someone did some 6 wheelers in GSR colours (might have been Popeye's bench) and said Des supplied them, that's how I came aware of them

Ease of availability of transfers always encourages experimentation into other railways. My steam era interests are mainly shades of green, mainly because I can order the right lining and snails off Steve from Railtec. I have experimented with some GSR transfers I got off SSM and I would love to have some GSWR, MGWR and other liveries about a la the RPSI heritage rake in days gone by but the main block is lack of decals. Less barriers to Irish modelling the better imo.

Yup, Humbrol and Railtec. Small fleet still sitting in various stages of repaints, some just needing transfers to others still in primer. Big push atm to clear my workbench of WIP (as according to my notes, these coaches repaints started Jan 1st 2020!)

Another two coaches finished and my steam era carriage fleet continues to build up.

Having cycled the old line last year, the viaducts on the line were something else. Class a scenery and begging to be included in a layout

Oh interesting little thing has appeared on the site.

Sounds like Tin Vans....Jonathan will be happy!

I'm going to guess its a coach of some kind, maybe a Park Royal or Laiminate.

Ah so its 20ft keg wagons!

Yeah, they look good in GSR guise as well

Hornby LMS Railroad coaches look Bredin esque to cover the 2ft rule.

A rare evening to myself saw me trying to clear my workbench backlog and so the first subjects I came across was a Pullman and a wannabe Bredin sitting in GSR maroon for over a year awaiting some of Des' wonderful decals. Little bit of work and vollia, two less models on the to-do list.

Sorry, meant Stevie's Palvans

They look great. Are they your own 3D print or is someone selling them?
