Wondering why mailing notifications for my Northern Irish models were sent by that company in the UK, Accurascale

Arrived this morning. One word. Stunning. 

 

Unless the color rendition is very off the boxes are blue? At least they’ll be easier to find in the sea of green

Nothing urgent but noticed a lot of recent issues remaining signed in on iPhone 13 and signed the terms and conditions a dozen time already

There was an update yesterday. Maybe clear cache and log out and in again?

Well done IRM, absolutely superb models

Lovely running, no shaking with them

Interior lighting is a great feature.

F*cking bank holiday im still waiting for mine 

[Tarabuses]

I agree, bank holidays are a nuisance when awaiting important post.

Any word of deliveries to NI?

Mine just arrived Stateside and OMG!

Absolutely love the Blue & Grey livery, as for the BGW, like just WOW! Love the gennys, grill will definitely need weathering, not to mention the exhaust…. but the DBSO, beautifully lit, very well thought out, cab lit separately, stays on in reverse but on DC only right now for a Quick Look (can’t remember if that prototypical, wouldn’t fault it either way). Lights still on the capacitor when I lifted it off the track, wand easy to use. Honestly if you have the remotest interest in NIR get some of these. Need to stick a chip in 111!  

Ok, …… Hunslets!

(would someone give me a quick nudge and wink if there is any reason not to dismantle a perfectly good Class 20 w sound)

PS: Boxes are still green

Brilliant lads! Feel free to share any pictures of them too!

No, no, NO!

No pictures or videos of these coaches allowed on the forum for at least another few weeks, until mine arrive.

Anybody caught even hinting that theirs have already arrived will not only be banned for life, as will their children and their children's children, but I will personally throw eggs at your windows, too.

So, who has re-gauged theirs to 21mm?

Looking your way, @murphaph and @Horsetan!

May be worth dropping IRM an email with order no. etc?

Mine shipped last week, international but it'll be a long and circuitous route.

Nope.

As I have a trio of Murphy RPSI Mk2s here, will be interesting to compare the IRM bogie and mounting design with that of Murphy.

Hi Gareth,

UK stock currently on the way to the UK to be shipped from there. Should land in the coming days!

Cheers!

Just you wait till I've had my dinner

Does the first class go at the loco end or the brake end?

Is it just me, or do the bogies on the last coach in your train stick out a bit more than the first two?

Only viewing on my 'phone so it might just be my screen!

Six or seven year old BlackBerry doesn't have the biggest screen.

[Sean]

not the best of photos but they get the job done lol

 

had not planned on running these for a little while -  now its a priority over the next few days 

 

Seems i still need a mk2d and another brake to complete the rake - when are these coming out? 

[chris]

Arrived today to NZ, another top notch set(s) of coaches, lovely 3 pack box too.

 

Super quick postage!

[Newtoncork]

Mine arrived yesterday, both the RPSI and NIR. Beautiful models.

Placated The Boss by showing her the wand! She was impressed.

[Warbonnet]

Hi folks,

Just a quick update; the corporate "bumblebee" livery coaches are now in very short supply, with less than 20 packs of each left in stock! 

So, if you want them, we suggest you move very soon, or risk missing out.

Check them out in action on the excellent "Barrow Street" layout below!

Order here: https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/mark-2-coaches/availability_in-stock

Cheers!

Lovely Colin - the long sweeping curve really shows the train off to great advantage.  Would like to see more of the layout too!

This one sounds like a Frankie Howard monologue.

[Dempsey]

Arrived today. Roll on Friday evening until I get home to get my weathering hands on them.

[Railway Lyons]

All making me jealous lads.

Enviously waiting on my 4 packs to arrive, hopefully tomorrow.

Postie is taking a while to get from Walkinstown to Wexford. Will be a week since pickup tomorrow. Need to have words, dont think he knows how serious this is. 

[Darius43]

My blue/grey NIR Mk2s arrived today and mighty magnificent they are too.

So much so that I have ordered the RPSI and bumblebee sets.

Cheers

Darius
