Mayner Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 It looks like we may have a newwagon builder in the Midlands:banana:, rtr open beet wagons & H vans are available from Model Irish Scale Rail, 2 Coneburrow Road, Edenderry. misr@eircom.net The May edition of New Irish Lines includes a favourable review by A J O'Rourke. The models are resin on a modified Dapol chassis, "the bodies are very neat. The rather complex arrangement of the corrugation in the opens is well captutured". "The paint finish excellent' The inside of the beet wagons are said to be flush and MISR (James MacKay) appears to be working on a range of wagons including the CIE 20T brake and other traditional wagons. The review includes a screenshot of a 3D model so the wagons may be resin castings produced from a virtual master, this avoids the stepping present with 3D printed models.
Broithe Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Interesting. Misr is what the Arabs call the country that we call Egypt - scope for some confusion..? Well, probably safe in Offaly.
Mayner Posted May 9, 2013 Author Posted May 9, 2013 No website, details, etc, as yet? The physical and e-mail address are from New Irish Lines, if the wagons are as good as Alan O'Rourke's review the guy deserves our support.
Kirley Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Read this article as well John, someone a while back but up some new Irish Freight models on ebay but never listed them again. Wonder if it was the same person? Worth exploring further.
StevieB Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 A number of manufacturers and retailers use ebay to test the water. I agree that this initiative deserves our full support. It will be interesting to see what the prices are like. Irish modelling is such a small market compared to UK modelling that the prices can't help but be somewhat higher than we would like. Anything we can do to keep prices lower will help. Stephen
Broithe Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 People are often more inclined to pay for what they want, rather than what they need.. Any venture is to be welcomed, especially in the current climate.
Broithe Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Model Irish Scale Rail, 2 Coneburrow Road, Edenderry. misr@eircom.net I've emailed him to let him know that he's being talked about here. And I would presume that it's Coneyburrow Road - just in case...
Kirley Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 I got a reply from James Mackey who sent on a catalogue of his range/proposed range which is quite extensive. Worth a look.
