Noel Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) In the absence of anything better, I'm quite happy with the SF RTR AEC and IFM RTR Laminate coaches I'm running. Obviously I would love IRM spec'd equivalents one day, especially Laminates. PS: Also perhaps one day IRM H-Vans and IRM Beet wagons to represent the CIE era when these wagon made up the buik of goods traffic on Irelands railways! (i.e. pre-modern image era before bogies and CWR). Edited July 29, 2018 by Noel typo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I’d be happy too with anything - I’d eventually have a mixture of best available now, for example, plus the best available in future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 These lovely brass sides arrived from New Zealand thanks to @Mayner. They will make a nice winter project to make a couple of laminate coaches using dapol donors. I really like the raised detail on these and the well defined window frames. Hopefully I can do them justice over the winter and spray them Black'n'Tan for myself and @jhb171achill. The golden era of Irelands railways before yo-yos and the extinction of loco hauled passenger trains. Anyway these brass sides look excellent and a new medium for me to learn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upholstery there is not original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a demand for them, I'll get the moulds made in the next few weeks. Let me know folks. Was there a demand for the Irish Commonwealths in the end?

Dead Kennedy Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Hi, will IRM venture into Park Royal/Laminate production in future years or is the only option to be IFM? It would be great to know some medium long term plans (presuming all going well) for budgeting purposes/ happy thoughts, i suppose i mean by that Sulzers, E Class as well as the carriages listed above. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We certainly wont rule it out, we have a lot to get out there first of course with all the 42ft stuff, A Class etc but we will likely do another announcement programme in the Spring to outline what we have coming up after they're all out of the way. Hopefully this time the snow doesnt scupper it! Cheers, Fran 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Woo hoo! I would add my voice to this. For those of us who need to plan future purchases and how to finance them, a list of proposed projects (as far as possible) and likely availability dates would be very helpful.

DiveController Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) There has been so much on this thread I just thought I'd actually stick a laminate from Flickr up here and leave it at that. It's quite a nice photo of a buffet car (1953). Sorry that platform obscures the underframe (it sat on B4 bogies) Edited February 8, 2020 by DiveController 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) CIE 1449-1496 series Open Standard Laminate 1461 (1958) seen at Inchicore in 1988! CIE 1429-1443 Open Standard Laminate 1432 Connolly sidings 1988 (7 windows, lavs both ends, also available in silver in 1956 ) Edited February 8, 2020 by DiveController 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiveController Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Unfortunately it means that the vehicle has been recommended for scrapping, one step before 'X' (scrapping has been authorised). For the occasional few there was maybe one other route if someone sprayed RPSI on the side @popeye Sister coach to 2414 above; CIE 2419-2422 series 2422 (1956) CIE Green with snail at RPSI, Whitehead (most of the buffet coaches turned out were built to run with the newly introduced AEC railcars of the 1950s) Edited February 8, 2020 by DiveController Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
