Thanks in advance That’s the trouble with terminology today - it has to be gobbledegook to “impress”. Back in the day, when the English language was used on the railway, you had brake standards, open composites, side corridor seconds, corridor thirds, six wheel lavatory firsts, and the like. Obvious. Now, it has to DBSO-2F, BSK(II), SGHT MK 2-SO(T) and the like…… No doubt when the De Deitrichs and Mk 4s go, we’ll be faced with an array of identikit vehicles, but called “A”DFGH-1, “B2”-EV, SSD5 and so on. Rant over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 13/2/2024 at 1:02 PM, Warbonnet said: Hi everyone, It's been a busy start to the year here at IRM, with our lovely NIR Mark 2 coaches arriving and going down an absolute treat with modellers, our production samples of the Mark 2cs arriving (more on those soon) and of course, we have other projects rumbling in the background! Such as our ICR! Last week, ICR Project Manager Paul Isles, and our Sound Master Jamie Goodman attended Portlaosie Depot and Heuston Station Valeting Plant to record all the sounds for our ICR models in miniature. We would like to extend a big and sincere thank you to Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail for facilitating us and going the extra mile to help us with the recording of this project. They went above and beyond to make this model truly special. If you think our Mark 2s are good, then prepare to be blown away by these! Pre-orders are beginning to fill up some variants, so make sure you get yours in here: https://irishrailwaymodels.com/.../railcar-class-22000-icr Cheers! Fran SUPERB! Greeat work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what I did there, I started too big" If anyone can shed some light on what differences exist between the various Iarnrod Eireann ICR prototypes A1, A2 and A3 ( I understand the basic British coach codes for the most part). Just trying to get a basic understanding of these which are not at all my era and might get one or two of the models. Thanks Edited April 4 by DiveController Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbonnet Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 Hi Folks, As per the status page the current update is Q3 2024, around the October show. There will be a more in-depth update when we receive the decorated samples in the coming weeks. Always subject to change, of course. Cheers!

Keano30 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 (edited) Anyone know what the dimensions of the Sculfort RBL-020-400 Loco tractor is? Just setting up my iTran and need to have the length so I can get accurate Trian lengths. Also is it dcc chipped and ready to run on a DCC layout if you are purchasing the IE 22000 Class 'ICR' - 6-car unit?

They are unpowered so should be ok for a DCC layout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Breezer Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I see all ICR packs are now listed as “Sold Out”. Does this mean delivery is close? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
