The new Accurascale MK5 Coaches with close coupling mechanism and onboard lighting look superb hopefully might lead to an IE MK4 coaches launch by IRM

So an IE Mk4 set should be no problem to the IRM lads 

I don't think there would be much of a market for thousands of new Mk3s, especially as Silverfox still sells them and they come up on fleabay every month

realistically I think modern rolling stock would make a lot more financial sense and as said before, introduce a whole new breed of modern modeler into the lobby

love them or hate them; Mk4s, IRCs, DARTs etc. is the way to go. We need something operating in 2021 that will still be in IE operation for the next 20 years

what would a 20 something year old pick up in Marks Models getting into the hobby, a model of a 70 year old Park Royal or a current Mk4 that he just traveled in on from Carlow

and been an armchair modeler, that's my two cents lol

If EVER a narrow gauge prototype was done, something which ran on several lines would be the most viable. This indeed, or T & D stuff which ran on the T & D, WCR and C & L.

While only one home, a Donegal 2.6.4T also....

If doing narrow gauge, I'd prefer the F501-3 over a steamer thanks

BELL tank next please Aaron  

will it be available RTR?

RTR beet wagons please, I'll even pay for them now.....

Very nice, any chance of a Norfolk Line container?

Anybody know what happened 745 at Slaght? ( Pic from ebay)

nice find, I wonder how many still survive

How many 88Ds's were in Ireland?

you would think, been a shunting loco, the windows would be much bigger

for the A class, small lights on each side of the fuel tank would be super great!

   (they were useless when covered in oil on a cold dark winters night lol)

some kid will wonder in there, fall, sue for €4M + costs

What does CIEs heritage officer do? 

I think B113 and B114 should have been saved, with B113 going north, B114 would of been nice to keep in the south for a future possible museum 

Thanks IRM, 121s arrived safe and sound

I wonder why 106 been the last serviced was not saved instead of 103

I was talking to Richie and I will be going for the weathered boards myself and lots of Mk3 and a few MK2 tail lights as they were mixed in the early 2000's.

Rich,

would love to see a few pics of your layout

You can adjust brightness using CVs. MM should have an ESU tech sheet on this like they did for the 071 and 201 decoder projects

Thanks Noel. Also, do the 121s have a cab light?

Wow, New Ross had a much bigger station than the one line and siding I always thought it had!

The marker lights on some of my 121s are BRIGHTER than the headlight
