I'm in the same boat era wise. But I think I'll have to justify at least one pack to represent the stored wagons being moved to Limerick in the 90's. The bonus being they'll need a lot of rust added!

My thoughts exactly.

I bought pack A of the magnesite wagons in marks models as my son gave me cash for Father’s Day so what better way to spend it top quality wagons very impressed with the detail a nice souvenir to have

I finally got around to running my Mag wagons.They are only superb.I am very much motivated to model somewhere  on the Waterford-Ballinacourty line now.Well done IRM.

How many prototype Magnesite wagons were there? I can't find out but the info is probably staring me in the face somewhere!

Hi IRM lads,

are these still being posted out as have not received my wagons yet?

For those of us living in the UK, they’ll arrive when they arrive. Why you may ask? Brexit and the absolute mess made of new trading arrangements made by our politicians. Rant over, wait continues.

They are physically finally in the warehouse now. Hoping shipments will catch up today. 
 

sorry for the delays on the UK orders with the new centre in Birmingham many hoops had to be rejumped through but thankfully now we are all set for stock moving in both directions. 
 

thanks yet again brexit!

Hi everyone,

We just had the product snaps for the magnesite wagons done for the website, and very pretty they look too. Here's some to feast your eyes with!

Order yours here: https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/magnesite-wagons

Cheers!

Hi everyone,

As of this morning 60% of the run is already sold, and UK dispatch finally begins in the coming days (these orders are safe and accounted for stock wise)

So, if you're on the fence, it's time to get off! The more in stock items we sell, the more shiny new stuff we are encouraged (and financed!) to make!

Order yours here: https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/magnesite-wagons

Cheers!

Just had an excellent presentation on the 70s and 80s, the first half being dedicated to the magnesite wagons here in cork by Joseph Lawton. Who was there on the final day of operation….his graffiti on the back of the last magnesite train has been immortalised in model form…I’ll have to get him to sign it or something!

Hi everyone,

90% of Magnesite Wagons Sold - Got Yours Yet?

Our magnesite wagons have proven to be one of the more quirky wagons in our range, but have indeed proved popular among modellers. So much so that only 10% of the production run now remains in stock.

So, if you fancy some, or wish to build your rake further, then make sure you grab your packs while you can. Four different packs with different wagon numbers are currently available.

Remember, there is 10% off when you buy two packs or more, and free postage and packaging around Ireland.

Cheers!

What a coincidence...

Customs have just today emailed me to say that they're releasing my second IRM Mag order for delivery!

Twisted my arm into buying a 4th set just now to complete a rake of 12. I'm modelling the other end of the country but somewhere in the Golden Future Time I hope to have the space to do a layout based in the Waterford area in that era. 

Have to say I'm staggered and hugely grateful these were ever made in the first place, given how niche they were in terms of both era and geographic range. I'll bet there are ghosts of bagged cements in wagon heaven seriously miffed at not being reproduced in miniature ahead of these or at all (yet).

Just had an email from IRM UK to the effect that I have a refund of about £35 for the single magnesite wagon that I ordered as part of the bundle of wagons in the total order.

Obviously it’s nice to get a refund but I did actually receive the full order, including the single wagon, so I’m curious as to what the refund is for - the email didn’t say…

Cheers
