They are integrated with the pickup and lighting system however we are looking at ways we can package them up once al the runs have landed as we did for the 42’ flats / tara’s. We also have a tail lamp solution on the way as a small accessory add on. 

The method of mounting to the underframe may be different to MM's method, so might not be a straightforward swap even without the lighting equipment.

A question for the IRM folks. Now that Mk2 delivery is on the horizon, are there plans to sell the scale-Irish-width B4 bogies as separate packs (e.g. to replace the narrower bogies on MM carriages)?

Oh that would make life so easy. Without being overly critical of the compromises IRM had to make for its Irish stock still running on OO gauge, the brakes are in line with that gauge rather than being on the correct place on the bogie, maybe it would have looked too weird for them to be in the correct position with the wheels themselves inboard on the bogies
