I wish the IRRS would post more of there old diesel videos on YouTube, probably had to get volunteers to convert the film

I don't know much about setting up contracts between a manufacturer and a purchaser but maybe a line can be inserted to say ( for example) 9000 units now with a future option of another 2000 units within the next 5 years not exceeding a 15% rise in costing

So, if there was a demand in the year 2025 for 121s or As like there is now for the 141/181s , another run could be done

Anything is possible with a huge railfan base, no line restrictions / clearance issues and firms like Exxon Mobil and Boeing throwing money at it. 

Please provide information that Exxon and Boeing funded it?  

apologies for going a little off topic but anything is possible with 800.

It is estimated that one of the worlds biggest steam locos restoration recently cost Union Pacific $4 million.

It had been out in the elements forever ( granted California doesn't see much rain)

Hi Ironroad,

I’m sorry, but the points are valid. Compare our product line in number to any of the big British retailers and it becomes clear how they can reduce sales margin across their inventory and make money whereas a smaller retailer like ourselves cannot. It’s very simple economics. Also, VAT is 3% lower and Sterling is in flux to say the least. 

However, I’m delighted to report that many people have supported us with 121 purchases and we are very thankful for that. At the end of the day; it’s your money, it’s your choice. I’m glad people choose us, as it shows we are doing something right and we can support Murphy Models AND put the money earned into tooling new Irish outline models . That’s a win for the hobby.

Cheers

Fran

 

 

Well said, thats exactly why I ordered from IRM 

Thanks. Fran, can you explain the "gearbox" thing or how it works?

How many of each loco is been produced and do they come with a certificate?

Hello,

Can the A class & 121 be ordered together?

thanks

Beautiful looking and I'd take a few but prefer to purchase something more modern like a beet wagon

Hello, Can the A class & 121 be ordered together?

thanks

The DB Ghost bus and the DB Wedding bus are still available 00 scale.

The Bombardier KDs came out last year and the Van Hool Leyland Atlantean are due sometime this year

is there any video anywhere of the Sulzers in action?

Anybody know how much damage there is to the IRC that hit a car at Kilnageer level crossing, at Breaffy, near Castlebar, earlier?

Would the multi working have allowed triples?

Very wasteful no doubt, but out of curiosity.

One of the Markle videos shows 4 x 141s  running up and down newly laid track, but I couldn't tell if all 4 were hooked up running together or if the middle one's were just extra weight

Hi,

i was reading in an old journal the 071class was taken out of service in the 80s(?) due to cracks.

What was the problem and were any of the older locos like the Sulzers or C' class put back into service to cover?

Lovely job but I hope IRM will bring out RTR versions as I don't build kits
