Hi everyone,

LET THERE BE LIGHT, AND SOUND!

 

Pushing model railway electronics to places they have never been to before, our forthcoming ICRs are a world leader when it comes to OO gauge railcars.

 

With fully independent lighting for interior, exterior, destination, door locking lights and more, all off one decoder, it has pushed our friends at ESU LLC - LokSound to the absolute limit.

 

Here is a preview of our station arrival and departure sequence as the doors open and close, with a sneaky preview of the sound, which has a speaker in every car, too!

 

A full preview of the sound, and update on production will follow later this month!

 

Pre-order yours here: https://www.accurascale.com/collections/railcar-class-22000-icr-1

 

Cheers!

Some of the light programming needs a fine tune. but that's the easy bit! 

 

[Bob229]

Excellent Fran, looking forward to the arrival of the ICRs 

[Robert Shrives]

Good progress on EPs also looking to sets.  

[Patrick Davey]

Sadly not my era but this looks and sounds incredible!!!  Truly world leading indeed and I hope they do very well for IRM after the huge effort to make the project happen.

Thanks lads. It’s been quite the journey as we wanted to not simply make a unit but make a template for units that lead the space in realism, accuracy and fun to play

Now the hard work has been invested, producing future units including Irish outline will be much simpler, quicker and cost effective.

Encouraging to know that far from any door being shut on future railcars (all here will be aware of the challenges); this gives the impression that an 80 or most importantly, an AEC is not beyond the bounds of possibility...

You mean a 1980’s DART, of course!

The 22000’s look and sound amaaaaaaaaazing, gotta be model of the decade contender!

[Sea Breezer]

Can’t wait for these

[enniscorthyman]

Looks and sounds fantastic. Just wondering how easy or hard to gain access to the inside to pop in passangers?.

[BosKonay]

The photo above shows the roof off and pcb in place. pop out the screws and you’ve full access to the interior without having to fiddle with the underframe.

Any news on the update lads?

More info coming very soon…

Oh my!

Model of the year, or decade!

Will it be easy to couple 2 sets together?

Yes the driving cars feature prototypical removable panels that reveal a NEM socket coupler

very cool

[Warbonnet]

[Mol_PMB]

Very nice indeed!

I do keep wondering if I could find a use for one of these, but it's so far out of my period of interest that it's hard to justify. Any chance of a look under a bogie so I can get an idea of the challenges of making one 21mm gauge?

Starting to reconsider purchasing one looking at that. Outside my intended time period but rule one right.

Hi @Warbonnet. re the NEM, we expected nothing else from the Kings of the (Iron) Road!

These do look terrific. Like Paul, they're going to be hard to resist with their sound effects. When Paul Isles told me the plans for THAT last year, I thought that the ICR would set a whole new standard, leaving the traditional large manufacturers weeping with frustration.

Good luck as you enter the Home Straight.

Me too. Rule 1 states that among other things, time machines are possible. Thus, one will operate on the Castletown Junction to Dugort Harbour line in Wisht Kerry in 1957……!  It might even be hauling a green tin van…..

Get one of those new Rapido open carriage trucks for it to haul, and put a Delorean on it.

I wonder how it will look beside its connecting train of an 1889 J15 and 1892-5 six-wheelers….

If only it was an AEC instead of an ICR, it would look much like this...

Hi everyone,

At Innotrans 2026?

 

If so, check out the J-TREC (formerly Tokyu) stand and you may see something rather special....

 

 

Cheers!

Stunning cant wait to get mine ! 

 

But also mouth watering at the thoughts of the photo above it being the next announcement....
