Flying Snail Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 You're just toying with us now Fran ... it's not a set of mark 3's anyway judging by how dark the photo is, but beyond that I'm stumped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsetan Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 It's probably a pixellated registration plate from some road traffic offence.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you seeing the pixels in 4K or in 1080, because they ain't the same thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Snail Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Fran said 'it earmarks a whole new range for us that will bring joy to many!' and he called it a 'railway item' ... so it's different and it could be anything, including non-rolling stock - the much anticipated foot bridge or some other scenic item perhaps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrman Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 It's definitely black. Do I see two pixels of a chimney? What's the yellow pixel? I'll guess the whole new range is steam - it's definitely not a Dart. As for which steam engine this would be, I'm going to predict No. 90. It's preserved, and I'm definitely not biased because it travelled down to West Cork at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Davey Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Still thinking RPSI steam - I suggested before that it could be 171, with IRM supporting the restoration of the locomotive by the RPSI…. could a model perhaps be made available in different liveries…. including black…… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a more serious note,I see CIE Grey(or an engineering sample), and its a whole new range, so some sort of steam is highly possible. however i also see a black buffer beam and a little hump on top so it could just as easily be some sort of 4w tank car at an unflattering angle. ALSO Were we not promised some sort of elusive foot bridge way back when? squint or youll miss it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I'm quite sure that in a previous post, we were told that there would be AT LEAST one announcement, so who knows, could be a J15 towing oil wagons under a footbridge. 17 odd hours to go, roll on half twelve! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/blogs/announcements 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joke's on them. None of them took the time to open the boxes. All of those dickie Tara's were bogie-less, and they'll have to come back this weekend to buy the bogies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
