IRM's news about the 800 locomotives motivated me to reserve one model of each locomotive.  Three Irish steam locomotive models.  The largest single purchase of railway models I've ever done, but well worth it to support such an important project.

Very pleased to see this project coming to reality. I remember the first time I saw the original as a young boy in Witham Street, a gigantic looming thing squeezed into a tiny, dark, cramped space. You could hardly take it in. As Ireland’s greatest steam locomotive, I wanted to love it, but the overall effect was spoiled somewhat by the American style diesel cab windows and the miniature buffers. Still a very imposing piece of Irish railway history. Will pick up a couple.
