jhb171achill Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I think that we can only plan things now - I'm currently planning a holiday for some friends here, for next June. They live in the States. I just told them to check out getting holiday cancellation insurance, just as I would if I was planning to go to America. So for model exhibitions, I think it's sensible to plan them as normal - but have a plan "B"! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connollystn Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 With so many new I.R.M. announcements the M.R.S.I. exhition at the end of October 2022 should be the best ever. Pity it's such a long way away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaine Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 Anyone else spot our sneaky promoting in Inchicore recently? Interest in Model Railways in Ireland has never been better, and planning is now well under way for October, with massive interest from both Layouts and Trade alike, the old favourites along with few newcomers. Just over 5 months to go 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, if it’s the 800 class you must buy seven, plus three of their 500 class and twelve of their NCC “Jeeps”.

leslie10646 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Getting back to this year's exhibition calendar. Richard McLachlan and I are looking forward to "Raheny" at the end of October. It'll be light relief after a three month Interrail ticket! (actually, Richard was only on a two month one). Nothing new for you, but I'm building up stock in preparation for the event. Now, I can try and second guess what folk will buy, but it makes sense to ASK in advance, then I can get "My Man" (who is just out of hospital!!!!) to make the kits people want. So, if you want particular kits, I'll try and make sure I have enough. Please either e-mail me at lesliemcallister@aol.com or PM me. The list of wants is already growing ......... Thanks, Leslie 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connollystn Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Just six weeks to go and I'm not thinking about it, even! Hard to believe that'll be three years since the last event. So looking forward to it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connollystn Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Railway engineering works seem to occur on long weekends which is very annoying. If they got the works done correctly in the first place it wouldn't be necessary to be closing the service at holiday weekends, anyway, the Sligo train is so slow it feels like there's engineering works on that line 363 days of the year. Just three weeks and four days* 'til IRM announce loads of new releases *Equivalent to 25 sleeps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRENNEIRE Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Hot off the press: From Murphy models He is showing pre-production samples of Class141/181 locos this week-end at the MRSI show. There will be 1 new fleet number in each of the four liveries (CIE, Supertrain, IR, IE) in both loco types. There will be a number of improvements, including the fitting of a speaker. He will forward photos of all versions next week. No guidance on price due to the volatility of currency markets. Also at the show he will have examples of the Mark2d coach in IR livery. As before, there will be 1st., standard, composite, restaurant and egv. Photos to follow. There will be a new bogie to conform with the prototype and will facilitate 21mm conversions. 8 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news, especially for newcomers who are paying silly money for baby GMs. I have all 9 of the ones appropriate to my era but I strongly suspect I will be unable to resist taking one each of the new release in IR & IE, boosting my baby GM fleet by almost 50%! That the new bogies will be 21mm friendly and scale width is most welcome. I wonder could PM be persuaded to release the bogies on their own as an upgrade to the Cravens and previously released mk2 stock...If anybody is going to be talking to PM at the show, perhaps they could ask? 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
