Broithe Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I started a year-long weekly course aimed at increasing my patience threshold. But after half an hour, it was no better, so I gave up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin R Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Something which has just come in to my brain and that is may be they are going to do a valentine's day massacre of the C Class or some such Irish loco all in Red and hearts all over it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be plenty of 0-3-0’s made in Lego for some strange reason. considering the last announcement was a powered railcar, I doubt that anything in the next 6 months at least will be powered. We can expect possibly another “announcement” at Wexford in a few months time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a major announcement so, more than likely, it'll be a powered unit/units. Can't rule out the DART 8100 series - sure that'd be popular. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't rule out the DART 8100 series - sure that'd be popular. I'm old school, so I wish that it would be Park Royals, C class engines or Ammonia tankers. I have had enough of the red oxide stuff for now to be honest ( sorry guys). I have a rake of blue Tara's too, which are fantastic models, and look a lot better in the flesh so to speak, than on the website. An old 70's / 80's suburban push pull railcar would be nice. Ah well, may as well dream now as tonight in bed. Paul. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connollystn Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 @exciecoachbuilder - Agree with your sentiment. My preference would certainly be the Park Royals, a passenger coach of that era (silver/green) is desired, especially, to haul behind my A30 and they operated up until the mid 1990s - don't recall any of the modern stock lasting that long. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Park Royal coaches would be a great one to do as they span the period 1955 to 1990 with many liveries Silver , Green , Black and tan and IR B&T with two white stripes , also many variants Suburban, mainline , Guard/ brake, Snack car etc 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing concrete but expect an IRM steam announcement soon. Wouldn't be surprised by a bus announcement this month, and a Bubble re-run announcement in the coming months. Boskonay said something last autumn about having several new "ranges" coming, which is super scary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would suggest that there's more of a demand for models other than the 071. As for the 319 - can't see a OO being produced just for one customer unless, that is, you're willing to pay €500K. Still think it'll either be the B101s, C201s or DART 8100s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
