jhb171achill Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 Cyril Fry managed to produce a model of something which had yet to enter traffic, as he got the drawings from Inchicore as it was under construction…..(the Drumm train). Just sayin’…. Quote

Just sayin’…. They did say that the Mk5s were an interesting process, trying to produce the models as tweaks were being made to the real thing. I wouldn't think the BEMUs are going to be coming anytime soon. (Or at least when my colleagues have decided what pantograph works best with the service requirements!) 1 Quote
BosKonay Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 COVID is still impacting resources on the China side so a few things are running slightly Behind our hope but not so much of an issue when we wait to launch until ready to go Quote

Sean Posted May 19, 2022 Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) to slowly stir the shit handle on this massive pot of speculation a little more , Hey @BosKonay, Do you consider the plough vans to be "powered items"? wouldnt it be gas if all this speculation about new locos turned out to be a lovely little brake van for the silver A's or somthing else completley unexpected Edited May 19, 2022 by Sean 1 Quote

No. Coaches and stock with lighting wouldn’t be considered ‘powered’. That tag gets saved for things that can move under their own power. No doubt there are a few unexpected things too Quote

scahalane Posted May 19, 2022 Posted May 19, 2022 Are they the same colour tone as the ballasts or are they slightly lighter? Quote
ttc0169 Posted May 19, 2022 Posted May 19, 2022 Those chassis would make an ideal and easy conversion for the Foynes-Ballina coal & oil train of the 80s and 90s…..I’ll take twenty please 4 1 1 Quote

Warbonnet Posted May 27, 2022 Author Posted May 27, 2022 Are you feeling stressed? Fed up with your current work situation and unable to relieve the pressure? Want to smash something about for a living? Well, why not get a job as our product packaging tester! Okay, we're not hiring. But, as you can see from this short video, we like to test our packaging to ensure our models reach you in tiptop condition. This involves repeated pummelling of the plastic shell as seen here, then the same in its card outer box, and finally repeated drop testing. Of course, your hobby can also be a great stress relief, so you could always leave the smashing to us, while you enjoy the contents of the packaging like these magnesite wagons.

Robert Shrives Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 A good test , now it needs boxing up and given the first floor fire escape drop test. thus replicating contents of an ISO box on board in a force xx storm... or the postal service of your locality enjoying some drop kick training.

Sean Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) so this is why they come in a box within a sleeve within a box within a sleeve , inside of an air bubble filled box. Make a video of yerself drop kicking it off the roof of IRM HQ with a repeat of this test Edited May 27, 2022 by Sean 2 Quote
Galteemore Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) If that’s what an IRM box has to go through, how tough must the staff be? Only Army Ranger Wing vets need apply….. Edited May 27, 2022 by Galteemore 4 Quote
Warbonnet Posted June 3, 2022 Author Posted June 3, 2022 Hi everyone, Time for a lovely Friday surprise! The Magnesite wagons are done and on their way ahead of schedule! They are due to land in our warehouse on Monday week, where they will be then distributed to customers. Bagged your mags yet?

Georgeconna Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 Surprised alright when I seen the bill. Are the Mk.2's come then as well as I seem to have a demand for the both the coaches and Mags? Quote
StevieB Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 That’s what we like, underpromise and overperform. Customer service at its very best, you lovely people. Stephen Quote

This is why we advise pre-ordering different product lines separately. Drop us an email with your order number and we can split it for you so you only pay for the wagons now. Cheers! Fran 1 Quote
Edo Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 Hi Fran cheeky question here - if I ordered some mags and forklifts on the same order...would they be shipped together? - or am i complicating things? thanks Ed Quote
