DJ Dangerous Posted October 27 Posted October 27 So, this topic deserves it's own thread. There are a few posts on these here: 23 hours ago, MOGUL said: Forgot to ask Paddy about 071s, but he does have a new announcement for us all.. Hopefully someone will share it on here soon 23 hours ago, Grange Castle said: And some announcement it is too ! Right up my street, had a great chat with Paddy about it. Photo doesn't do it justice at all. 22 hours ago, mphoey said: wow very intersting choice 16 hours ago, DiveController said: what is this? the present day DART? 16 hours ago, mphoey said: yep the new alstom hybrid 16 hours ago, BosKonay said: Correct, not yet running as yet. 16 hours ago, DiveController said: Ah, I see. Haven't seen this in the flesh as an ex-pat. Are there many of these in service? When did they enter service? Presuabnly as a hybrid the use the DART electrified network and can run south of it also? 16 hours ago, mphoey said: only 1 set here for evaluation wont see service for a while yet but will be operating first on the dundalk drogheda line till electrification is done 15 hours ago, Georgeconna said: yep, one for the Dubs I think. Very limited scope modelling wise outside that area obviously. Wish him the best with it. 14 hours ago, murphaph said: That's.....brave. 14 hours ago, Georgeconna said: Especially with the ICR units not selling as the lads had hoped for. I would of thought a Push Pull set would of been warmly welcomed and would go great with the 121's. 11 hours ago, chris said: Seems a bit of an odd choice versus the original DART for example. (I know there is a bespoke manufacturer of these though) Hope it goes well for him but not one for me this time. Edit: could really do with updating the website about it and a launch like IRM do... difficult to actually find out anything about it if you weren't at the show. Plus I saw this on FaceBook last night: 11 Quote
DoctorPan Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Speaking to Paddy, these aren't a solo project, Alstrom have asked him and provided CAD and the sort to help him produce this, hence why a 3D sample model of a full set appeared before real thing! 9 2 3 Quote
K801 Posted October 30 Posted October 30 looking forward to seeing this BUT hoping IRM will do a 8101/8301 someday... 3 2 Quote

Be nice to have one of these to run with IRM's 22000's. 2 Quote
Weshty Posted November 28 Posted November 28 That's a class looking model. Will definitely be on the shopping list. Well done Paddy. 2 2 Quote
