Fowler4f Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Will we see an announcement from IRM before the end of January as Accurascale have done, or shall we have to wait till February or beyond ?

dave182 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Who would be complaining about a new IRM announcement?! Speculating... yes! Complaining? No!! I'll get the ball rolling... I'm hoping for a range of 20' skeletal wagons 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 In his interview on "World of Railways" earlier, Fran teased new IRM "left field" items. So, is it cows? 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s something to make me check the date…..and see if it’s April 1st….. a Bandon tank announcement on the 31st of March wouldn’t go too far wrong 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 It's a live Fintona horse. I told yez. They've been breeding them in a petri dish for the last few years. They can have DCC chips inserted in them, but the ISPCA might have issues with that. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin R Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I was trying not to speculate on what it could be, but as hard as it is not to do so I would guess it is something which is on the network today, or may be the original DART sets? As much as I would love a steam loco I can't see that happening, could be the C class locos to follow on from the A's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galteemore Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Would be a shame if IRM didn’t exploit their livery wizardry to the full on any new steam class - a range of grey J15s is hardly a challenge for them… a nice blue 4-4-0 with a portion of sale going into 171’s overhaul appeal could be timely with lots of collector appeal … Edited January 28, 2023 by Galteemore 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
