ICR Tooling Underway!

[Warbonnet]

Exciting news! Our Rotem 22000 class railcars have been a big hit since we announced them at the MRSI show last October with 25% of the production run already sold on pre-order. 

Our first ever railcar, and the first prototypically accurate Irish railcar ever made in Ready to Run format, the ICRs are now in tooling with excellent progress being made so far as these photos from the factory demonstrate:

The first tooling sample will be with us over the summer, and we may look to organise an event to premiere it for the first time, so watch this space!

In the meantime pre-orders have been coming thick and fast for what promises to be an exquisite model, the very first bespoke Irish Railcar in high quality, ready-to-run format. So, don't hang about.

Delivery is on schedule for summer 2024 and a 3D print of the model will be on show at the Wexford Model Railway show on April 30th and May 1st 2023, so make sure you drop by to check it out.

Remember, you can spread the costs across monthly installments at no extra cost using the the partial.ly system on our website to make it kinder to your wallet!

Another milestone for IRM!

Just wondering I take it that the lighting issues seen on the Mk.5 stock be addressed in these new models,  some folks were not too happy with the MK5 coach lighting looking at some reviews and also a bit of flickering due to pick ups? Reading the spec I see the Coaches have a single bogie pick up and Cap so this will sort the flickering out?

Cant remember if there was Caps in the Mk.5

nicely enhanced in the Below Vid.

The under frames may require mirrors under the track too...

And again:

Next, you'll be telling us that the nose panels are DCC operated, and so is the snacks trolley!
