I would too! I suspect there are plenty here would as well. Plenty of different liveries to choose from, just like the A class 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of different liveries to choose from, just like the A class Eleven (not nine as I initially posted) livery variations, in fact!

DJ Dangerous Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 Who's going to speculate on a joint MM / IRM Mk3 project? Suburban sets from IRM and mainline sets from MM? And since @BosKonay sold his IE autoballasters a while back, they must also be on the radar... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wouldn't want some Mk3 stock, AND who wouldn't be frothing at an IRM / MM team-up? Not @BosKonay leaking info on this particular occasion - he's now using incognito mode for browsing, thwarting my attempts to snoop! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 How about some IRM Hino's? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfjoc Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 My priority wish list if anybody from IRM reads this: GSVs to go with the Cravens and Park Royals, BR vans perferably but would accept an unrebuilt DEW van as an alternative Either a 20 ton or 30 ton brake van to go with all the Bulleid stock now on order. A re-engined C class The footbridge that we were already promised My origonal intention was to only buy what ran in the 1980's but the recent offerings have reset this to 1970's and 1980's I know I will probably buy whatever is produced but the layout is filling up. 10 years ago I did not think I could ever be in this situation 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 I wonder if a Dutch van would fit the IRM modular approach better than a Mk1 GSV. A Mk1 GSV would overlap with the UK Mk1's, though. A Dutch van could run with such a variety of coaching stock, Craven's, RPSI Mk2's, IRM's very own Mk2's and Park Royals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if an accessory pack with the refurb ends could be included as a snap on piece to knock two birds with one stone (Not the prettiest solution but probably depends on viability of making separate models) Edited April 24 by knawa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either would be good, actually, as both ran with Cravens, Park Royals, every single type of laminate, even the very last few Bredins, and the RPSI stuff. And not forgetting the BR van at Downpatrick, which has seen service on passenger trains too… Both types of vans could also be seen on mail trains in the 70s & 80s….. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, anyway, speculating... First O Gauge loco from IRM, something small like a shunter? N Gauge A Class and Container Flats? Hybrid wagon like the tank body from the current batch of Fuel Oil Tanks on Ballast / Bubble chassis, tweaked to allow for 21mm conversion? Gonna say they've hit the brakes on the brake vans until there's a consensus on Irish or UK buffer spacing for loose-coupled stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
