dave182 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 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 2 1 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 Share Posted January 28 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 Share Posted January 28 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 Share Posted January 28 (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 by Galteemore 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudfan Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) I whacked off a query regarding the forthcoming Deltic run of locos and I got an instant response...it was after 1.00AM. Somehow I don't think customer service has been farmed out to a call centre yet! Oh, got another email response this morning. This crowd seem to be serious about what they do!!!
