2013 Models

[Brian Collins Enterprises]

Let's hope that 2013 will be a good year with some more Irish related trucks & buses.

 

We can look forward to the Dublin Civil Defense Dennis Fire Engine (Q1/2013) & the Garda Transit Van (Q2/2013).

 

Happy New Year

Really looking forward to these two models being released. Hopefully there'll be a few more too.

Hattons have them already listed on their website

[Grange Castle]

Lovely another two to add to my list of Garda vans and C D Dennis Thanks lads. Just having a look on hattons now, anyone see the Scania Irizar PB Eireann listed ? No pic anyone know what it is ? I assume its a bus.

 

 

Edit : I've just found a pic, its a eurolines/bus eireann. Also the Aer Lingus van looks like a quick code 3 bash, maybe its just like the real thing but looks a bit boring. Just posted a pic of the bus in the Bus thread.

Anthony, Hattons may have them listed on their website, but with no images currently.

 

Grange Castle I was also disappointed with the Aer Lingus transit model, it's too plain. I would have expected corporate colour with logos?

 

Thanks for posting the image of the bus also

Oxford do a David Brown tug, Aer Lingus used use these, painted white.

Can't think of any excuse to use it in a railway context though!

Not bad - perhaps we could club together and get Bus Éireann a set of hub-caps to bring theirs in line.

 

It's really great that such a small market is catered for these days.

 

All we need now is for the excellent Bachmann Scenecraft figures to feature a range of Guards - with optional pony-tails.

When is the Aer Lingus van due out?

 

I think June was mentioned when they were originally announced.

[Tarabuses]

Not too long then.

[Brian Collins Enterprises]

 

An interesting one just announced by Oxford Diecast:)

[Grange Castle]

That's one that'll be on my order list, thanks for posting Brian.

Tinnellys T cab can't wait to get my hands on one as its one of the local haulage companies in my area and I know the truck well. . Its great to see Oxford bringing out another trailer that's not a curtain sider or a refer. A nice load for this truck would be apples from Armagh heading to Bulmers in Clonmel or a load of scrap as these are quit common loads for Tinnellys

To put a load in the trailer might require a bit of cutting work as it looks like they've covered the top with tarpaulin similar to the stobart biomass, i could be wrong though

Its hard to say mate as on the real thing the cover rolls up and rests against the three upright poles you can see in the picture. Otherwise I will just have to start cutting:D. BTW forgot to say when carrying apples there was no cover used just a mountain of apples sticking above the trailer, and when carrying scrap a net covered the trailer.
