Warbonnet Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Are the cements going to be orange or the later off white colour? We plan to produce all liveries. We're just not sure on what order we'll do them yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Latest news from Irish Railway Modellers Towers including what to do if you missed out on ordering the ballast wagon http://irishrailwaymodels.com/index.php/2016/02/01/irm-sells-out-first-run-of-ballast-wagons/ Well done guys. Looking forward to the ballast wagons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hello everyone, Just to tease you some more and perhaps make you push the boys for a second run take a look at these i took on my photo survey of the wagon when i was over the other month. http://davejonesphotography.zenfolio.com/p344817123 What's worthy of note is the different positions of lettering and numbering, plus one with the 'rolling wheel' emblem on it too. These guys can and probably will, if your nice to them, produce you an unheard of amount of differences of an almost standard wagon livery at launch. Oh, and i'll be pleased to make them for the guys too :-) Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the 241xx were ballasts from the outset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leslie10646 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 We plan to produce all liveries. We're just not sure on what order we'll do them yet! Good news - they looked the part in ORANGE!!!! The CADCAM looks brilliant, guys - if I am still around, I'm up for a rake - I need something to pull behind these "diesel" things someone persuaded me to buy! Best of luck with the project.

jhb171achill Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Good news - they looked the part in ORANGE!!!! It's 1916, sorry, 2016, and a centenary, Leslie, so if there are orange ones, they'll have to do them in green too! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Any news guys, did you's manage to get word on a production slot before the year of the Monkey kicks in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Any news guys, did you's manage to get word on a production slot before the year of the Monkey kicks in? None yet, Railer. We had hoped to get confirmation of a slot before the factory stopped work to celebrate Chinese New Year but we were unable to. CNY was on Monday, so hopefully the factory workers will be back in the next few days and we'll get an update then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 We had to get our orders in work sent in two weeks ago to China as in our experience the country basically shuts down for a month again things get moving again production and shipping wise. Done when it's done as they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railer Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 The completion percentage is very far along for the bubbles compared to the hoppers too and we can't even order them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbonnet Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Our third project will be revealed later this year while details about ordering the bubbles will be revealed in the coming weeks. We need to iron out a few things with them but nothing too major! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgeconna Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 How much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 How much? Probably the same as the hoppers at a guess, €110 for a triple pack or around that ball park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIRCLASS80 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 It doesn't say in the magazine but if you would like a nice little rake of 24 it will be expensive no matter what! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big a house do you own!!!!!?????? If these guys can do three for €110 for or a little more, they would be very good value for what you are getting.

Garfield Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 The retail price for the bubbles hasn't been finalised yet. Development has involved more work than the ballasts but we're doing all we can to ensure the price remains in the same ballpark without sacrificing detail. Is it on the same chassis? Yep, the bubbles will utilise the same chassis mould as the ballasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killucan2 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Between the ballast and bubble there has to be difference cost wise,how long before we see a prototype?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 How about a sneaky pic of one of the pre production ballasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 The final touches are being applied to the mould at the moment and the factory have told us we should have an EP sample in a few weeks, although the exact timing depends on whether any adjustments are required once they squirt the plastic into it.

Garfield Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Hi Fran, Patrick What date do you expect to deliver the ballast wagons? Thanks Noel Hi Noel, The tooling is ready to go but we can't confirm an exact date until we've received and approved the pre-production samples (we've just been told the factory should be turning-out the first one within the next two weeks). Depending on how these samples turn out, modifications may be required. If this is the case then obviously that would add some more time to the process. Once that phase is completed, we'll be given a slot in the factory's production schedule. Unfortunately we can't be any more specific than that right now; it's a case of 'wait and see' while the factory does its stuff. Nevertheless we're approaching the end line and customers should have wagons running on their layouts by the end of the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
