Hi everyone,

1st announcement of the week is tomorrow at high noon! It could be the first of FOUR announcements this week, but certainly 3! 

The fourth is something we're looking to include and its value in particular will blow you guys away. 

Anyway, roll on tomorrow!

Cheers!

with 4 announcements…..there is very little chance anyone will be left out. Unless of course you happen to model the Waterford and central ireland railway or Cork and macroom direct railway. In which case i would be a little more skeptical!

Roll on 50 minutes!

Went over on Saturday with a buying plan that mostly consisted of picking up some stuff I'd pre-ordered from Chris Dyer but his absence (such a shame) knocked me sideways a bit. Between that and a few

I know I'm new to the parish, but I wouldn't be so sure about that @Westcorkrailway. Them IRM lads are like the Spanish Inquisition on Monty Python - did anyone expect the chaldrons? I reckon a WCIR 4-wheeler triple pack is nailed on as one of the announcements, the only question is whether or not its today 😁

So, it appears that IRM are working their way through P42 again, albeit in a different order - just Spoils and Weedspray to go...

But the Weedspray train is missing that BR Mk1 looking coach...

So maybe one of the IRM announcements is steam heating vans for rakes of naked unheated Cravens, for RPSI rakes and for that Weedspray yoke!

This photo on eBay from railway images uk contains some familiar coaching stock and a certain loco that’s id like to see in the near future 

 

however it’s been hinted at it might not be one of these, but plenty of other Blue (or in my case green) things it could possibly be

So close now. The excitement surrounding IRMs latest releases is building. Going to camp outside St Paul's tonight so I'll be first inline to get into the exhibition. If anyone wants to say 'hello' I'll be the long haired, weird looking dude wearing a black anorak and dark blue jeans (they were light blue when I bought them). Hope that those of you who can make it to the show have a great time.

PS. Wonder if it'll be too early to start 'trick or treating' tomorrow? Could end up leaving the exhibition with a bag full of goodies.

I hope it's not going to be like the start of the sales after Christmas when the waiting horde is unleashed into the store like greyhound's out of a trap.

I’m looking forward to the announcements more then anything…other then those Tara’s, I don’t see myself buying anything…unless there are some “green and grey” era stuff (as @jhb171achill has christened it) I won’t be interested in a whole pile. I’d like to see what tailte tours are up to next, see these murphy’s toolings ect. 
 

besides I can’t afford to be throwing 1000 euro at some models….well the bandon tanks are an exception to the rule 🤪

For that reason I’m trying to encourage myself to save money on me heating 78F14CAD-0FB9-4F26-96B8-1A9CCF54389E.thumb.jpeg.3fe6883724da30c5fd417ecf839c2ab9.jpeg

I'd certainly like something for my A30 and A55 to haul, however, if there's nothing mentioned in the pile tomorrow I'm sure that there'll be something in the not-too distant future. I'm only too glad that there's a model railway exhibition to go to - so looking forward to it. Hope I get some sleep tonight.

Make sure that all of us who are in attendance are around the stand before you make any announcements - I've been waiting for this moment for the last three years

This is all getting a bit like the time, in 1972, when Dieter Meier installed a plaque in the paving outside Kassel station, declaring that he would stand there for an hour, in 1994.

Which, 22 years later, he did...

You never know they might organise a party  of drummers from the Artane band to do a drum roll  commencing at 1055 so you car hear it happening.

You don't happen to own one of those tartan shopping trolleys that old women use to bash their way through to the sales do you?
