I did later have a better chat with AS and got a detailed verbal update on the IRM models, which sounded very promising. 
Probably best if I leave it to the IRM staff to post an official update here. For the Park Royals relevant to this thread I understand there have been considerable frustrations with the factories in China that have been totally outside IRM’s control and have caused delays, but things are now sorted for quality and delivery is expected around the end of this year. 
 

Thanks! 

Thanks, Mol_IRM…

Accurascale / IRM Projects page was updated this week.

Park Royals now say "Update Coming, 2025".

Hence why I asked for a verbal update at Derby - see previous post. 
I was also told that they will have a lot more Irish samples/models to see at the Dublin show, but there might be a bit of a wait until the next IRM new tooling announcement.
I think the AS side of the business is very busy at present - must be all these people buying badgers

Prior to the change this Tuesday, both 66’s and Park Royals just said “Q2 2025”, so there’s definitely some news in the pipeline.

Interesting that the 22000’s (Q3 2025), Hunslets (Q4 2025), and 800’s (Q3 2026)  haven’t changed status on the Projects page!

I hope so? It's been a long wait

I maybe completely wrong ....................but going through the outstanding order on my IRM/Accurascale Account - I have noticed that the new payment date for my Park Royal Order is now Mid Jan 2026...........

by the same token - I am now being asked to pay my outstanding balance on the 22000s................

Could be just arbitary dates for payment generated when the orders were placed..............

I’d say that the payment dates reflect the estimated arrival dates that were updated on the 12th.

22000’s may be soon, Hell yeah!!!

Park Royal estimated date was removed, so early next year sounds plausible.

I would very much like to see more decorated samples in the two green livery variants. 
We’ve only seen one of the green liveries so far, and I gather that the colour has been tweaked since then.

Exactly that. The final samples are getting photographed now.
