Any stockists in Ireland, or are these books only from the UK, thanks.

I bought the earlier volumes from the RPSI, I imagine they will have this one as well in due course.

Looking forward to seeing this. Michael's photography is superb, as was his eye for the unusual.

Hodges Figgis in Dublin have the first two vols listed, presumably they'll get the third too.

There’s also something of an apostolic succession of Irish railway writing here. Michael was a big support to Mac Arnold in his final years, and has since taken up the torch of recording Irish railways and their people

Duly ordered from the transport treasury.

Thanks for the suggestions lads, if I was to order from the UK, or the RPSI in the North, will I have to pay vat, import duties, or customs clearance charges, not sure about how this works, thanks.

no extra charges, just postage if you order from the RPSI in Belfast....

Please let us know how you get on with this. I know another major publisher who won't export their truly wonderful books to Europe. Perha[ps Robin Fell at TT has found an easier way!

Thanks, but I really meant did you receive the book effortlessly and without An Post impounding it and sending you a bill!

I will bring a stock of Michael's books over with me to Blackrock, as we have been "left" copies of Rolls 1 and 2 and might as well make up the set! No postage, face price.

Received the book this morning-no issues, I highly recommend the book.

I'm enjoying my leafing through the book on this sunny Sunday morning, especially drawn to page 23 and a picture of A class 003 with a short train of fuel tanks and bubbles, inspiration.

Plus the inside back cover mentions a forthcoming volume 4, in 2026. Excellent

Part 4 is now on sale - just ordered a copy from TTP.

My copy of Part 4 of the IRR series by Michael McMahon arrived yesterday, lovely book, great production values, clear photos and highly informative captions especially on the formations of passenger stock in the first part of the book which I find really useful for modelling.

Cheers,

Keith
