K801

ECM 2 car DART set was €300 when they were first released, now €1200-€1500 depending on options, no thank you.

Very nice. Just an idea but it would be handy to give buses its own tab in the shop instead of them under Vehicles as they are unique in themselves and would be more easy to find as I'm sure IRM will expand the range over time

I hope someone brings out a 8101/8301 model before they are gone

beautiful model

Beet Doubles.........can't wait!

Would like to see the pics

great topic. Does anybody make a UK RTR Ruston like what was used in the Irish sugar companies?

I can live with the odd error as the photos are great

Would love to see a pic of that Mk2 mockup in the 70s

I thought the ITG , RPSI etc. had to remove all their stuff a few years back as some of Inchicore was going to be sold off for land development?

Who sets the crazy ebay postage?

How many of them did CIE have?

There was an ITG railtour that day and we had to bus around it if I remember correctly

Not sure if its been mentioned here before but if you like early CIE diesels, this is the video for you! First 10 mins shows how the IRRS digitized, edited and processed old film and is presented by Ciarán Cooney The action starts around 12 mins in and shows a down Cork Sulzer 113 ( never see a video of of those before), double A classes, Sulzer's, E class, all the small GMs and amazing rolling stock etc. Thank you to Tom Dowling, Ciarán Cooney and the IRRS for putting it together and hopefully they will process more for viewing

That pic was taken by the late great Paddy Kennedy, I found it many years ago as a 1 x 1 inch slide and had this gem of a photo lifted from it

Thankfully, I've had zero issues with DHL. My models usually take 4 days Dublin - E. Midlands - CINCINNATI - Dallas USA

I'm not sure how all these trams ended up in Maine, but next visit I'll see if there's anything from Ireland hidden in the acres of trams out back!

Good point, Sixteen English Electric 0-6-0DE 350 hp locomotives, based on the Class 08 design but modified for 1,600 mm (5 ft 3 in) gauge, were built new and exported 1951–53 to Australia, entering service on the Victorian Railways as the F class ( The CIE 401 were built in 57/58) So, if anybody has a repainted Hornby/Lima/Bachmass BR 08 on an Irish layout, you can say it was imported from down under!

Would love to see the up to date pics of them now, so they are owned by the RSPI?

Agreed, IRM #1 for customer service, I hope a few more new announcements come soon

Silverfox A's perfect for experimenting with now

Nice job on that CAF

I heard the cameras onboard are useless as nobody monitors them
