New IRM Wagon Announcement Tomorrow 11am - Place Your Bets!

[Warbonnet]

Hi everyone,

We have one more IRM announcement to round off 2024 in famous fashion! 

Tomorrow at 11am we will announce and all new wagon that will be added to the range.

The most exciting part is that it is produced and about to ship from the factory, so due in stock in the new year.

What will it be?

Feel free to speculate below, and check back here tomorrow morning to find out!

Cheers

I suspect I'll be buying some whatever they are! The image looks rather long and low, so maybe it's a 4-wheel container flat. There are several series to go at - 25436, 27101 and 27301.

I'm guessing the same - not long to wait at least!!

Indeed, not too much suspense! All three series of 4-wheel container flat later formed the basis of other wagon types (beet, oil tanks, logs etc) so any of them would enable further developments.

[murphaph]

They'd certainly be on my order list!

Hi Fran

Please text me with the news - I'm behind "Clan Line" en route to Sherborne for the Abbey's Carol Service.

if you're short-sighted--as I am--taking off the specs the pixels merge and it looks to me like a view looking up from below, ie of the chassis, I can make out two axles, not sure how much that helps

Of course, some Irish wagons had wheelsets on top...

You're all way off.

It's an O Gauge 22' container flat.

I made one of those decades ago! 6mm scale on 32mm track.

[NIRCLASS80]

I’m in for the 22’ container flat

[Mol_PMB]

A few holiday snaps in case it is! They're not all the same...

There was also a log wagon variant but I don't have any good photos of them.

[Patrick Davey]

You're all wrong.  It's a Ballymena & Larne iron ore wagon.  The first in a new line (ha!) of narrow gauge items.

[Mol_PMB]

They have hinted at a narrow-gauge loco in a previous video. But not this one:

I wonder ... isn't there a 20 ton brake van up in Cultra? 

[Georgeconna]

Nice one, I get out of bed so!

[K801]

Hoping a beet wagon
