Great news...now take your time and hurry up!!!

Congrats lads- well deserved.....onwards and upwards!

Origional slate grey please!

Excellent - thanks Stephen.

Calling IRM - might it be a runner in the future that the A classes and any further releases be they STEAM (yes please!) or diesel. will have the option of a sound chip fitted as with the Deltics across the great divide?

Hmmm - the plot thickens......

Sorry to learn of the death of one of the best Sgt Majors ever to hit the screen! Good night Windsor!

Well Boyos, I think it is a welcome change and good luck to it! There is another consideration here other than the interchangeability factor - - white paint weighs lighter than coloured therefore it saves money on fuel bills over thousands of air miles, also white does not heat up as much , if memory serves (and today its fine!) the Pepsi Concorde was painted blue and could only fly at mach 2 for about 20 minutes before the air frame began to overheat.

Orgasmic thought here lads!!

Great news for me.....bad news for the bank balance

Above is the 'Mutts Nuts'!!! Brilliant pic - I'd say there is some mighty conversation going on there! many thanks for the pics railer

here's the only pics I could find on line - anybody out there got any more please?

Lads....has there ever been a time where the Taras were in a grey livery, or possibly grey with dirt? I can remember a pic of an almost grey rake pulled with an IR logoed A class. Any thoughts?

Tesco installed a medical machine that for £5 and a urine sample, would diagnose any condition. When my mate went with a sore elbow, the computer printout read "You have tennis elbow. Soak it in warm water and avoid heavy work for 2 weeks" Impressed,my mate wondered if he could fool the machine. He mixed tapwater with dog poo, urine samples from his wife and daughter, and then pleasured himself into the mixture. When he tipped it into the machine the next day, the printout read: 1. Ur tapwater is too hard. Use softener. 2.Ur dog has ringworm. Giv it antibiotics. 3.Ur daughter is on cocaine. Get her to rehab. 4.Ur wife is Xpecting twins. Not urs. Get a lawyer. 5.If u keep playing with yourself, ur fuckin elbow wont get better! Thank u for shopping at Tesco!

Interesting to see one original Baytes ore wagon in that rake of spoils! Excellent capture Gordon

Shitty way for the poor buggers to go - Das Boot wouldn't be my cup of tea!

Done and dusted - good luck lads!

Hmmm....'must be over the age of 20' Broithe - we just about qualify so!

In keeping with the 'Nice Touch' theme, I just got an invoice from the Towers informing me that my A class fleet were paid for in full! The idea to pay off a few quid at a time is the absolute 'Dogs'! Again, fair play to the mothly crew at IRM for allowing us to avail of this excellent scheme - one of which I will avail of again and again!

I approve this message!

I must say lads that it was a lovely gesture on behalf of the boyos at IRM Towers to send Xmas cards to their customers. Two cards came to my gaff and you should have seen the look on my wife's face when I asked who her card was from! Trying not to give the game away... 'tis only work stuff , nothing important 'she replied and scuttled away to get the tea. It's a bit tricky now when she knows that I know she knows that I know - Thanks Stephen, Pat, Fran, and Richie for turning my wife into a compulsive liar!

I see the Police are given the go ahead to shoot down the drones with shotguns only. The stupidity of publishing that info - all the operators have to do is keep the drone out of range above the runway
