scahalane Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Always thought the Tivoli sidings would make a nice layout.

Robert Shrives Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 It is amazing how viaducts striding across the land can inspire. I imagine the local population saw them as a version of a machine from mars - the world would never be the same. Also perhaps a sign of a gateway to a new world. While impressive more so was the shots from the shore showing the rock armour trying to stop erosion with line almost on the edge. Alone it should inspire a layout set in halcyon times! I will have to save up/ turn off the lights to get more wagons .. Hopefully after the coaches and these wagons come through the manufacturing processes funds will allow the beets to come up the list a bit.

JasonB Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Fantastic looking model, guys. Really like the etched walkway and ladder. Yet again, another superbly detailed wagon. Such a pity these didn't run that little bit longer. I would have loved to see them being hauled by a pair of IR livreried Bo-Bo's. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphaph Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Same. I've been trying to figure out if there's any chance they passed through Kildare on the way to Limerick at the end to somehow justify buying at least one pack lol. Doesn't look like it unfortunately. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbonnet Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 Hi everyone, Hitting 25% now. Thank you for all of you who ordered so far! Perfect wagons for your black and tan or supertrain A class. Perhaps a plain back A55 too? Cheers Fran 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi David, Sorry, missed this post with everything going on around the shows at the moment (Glasgow done, Alexandra Palace to come!) We're at 30% pre-sold on these, and expect to see some decorated samples in the coming weeks. They certainly got very favourable reactions from the Irish contingent that travelled over to the Glasgow show upon seeing them for the first time. Cheers!

Noel Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Great looking wagons. Looks like same NEM pocket issue as with the Ballasts, Bubbles and plough vans? As a fan of kadee couplings it would have been nice had retooling fixed the NEM pocket height. First world problems, otherwise more stellar wagons from IRM.

Pretty sure this was done to death on the announcement. Same chassis means a smashing model at a smashing price, with a few trade-offs like the NEM pocket and the 21mm re-gauging. Definitely won't stop me from destroying the bank balance! 5 hours ago, BosKonay said: Absolutely.

In fairness, @Noel, we've explained to you more than once the reasoning why it's not possible to lower the NEM pockets on this stock. At this stage I'm not sure if you've simply forgotten or just ignoring what we've told you... 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also reckon a few of his pals are running into phone booths to change into their superman costumes to rescue him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
