Warbonnet Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Well everyone, you told us that you would like to find out the 2018 IRM range in advance, so make sure you join us on Saturday, March 3rd, 2018 in Ryan's Bar, Store Street where we will announce the models coming in 2018 as well answer your questions and host a social event for Irish railway modellers. Ryan's is a special place for IRM, as it's where we held our very first meeting way back in 2015, so it seems only right we have our launch there. We kick off at 4pm and food will be provided. If you want to come along, it is essential you RSVP by 6pm on Wednesday, Feb 28th to info@irishrailwaymodels.com as we need to know for catering requirements. All are welcome and we hope to see you there on the day! Now, feel free to speculate what we may announce! 8 1
Broithe Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 And handy for the Guards, if it all kicks off.. 4
iarnrod Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Tara Mines wagon already announced, so unsure if this is included in new announcements, so my money is on the following : Bogie Bulk Cement wagon 42' Flat wagon Bagged cement wagon Ballast brake van However, IRM could go totally out there and go with A Class loco 22000 railcars Park Royal coach Laminate coach In any case, less than four weeks until we know 😁😁😁
murrayec Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Mr Musk is joining the IRM team and we all get a slightly singed used car? Is there a prize, is there a prize? Eoin 4

Noel Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Great idea Fran, et al. Will be attending. To add to @iarnrod excellent speculations, my own dream list would be: Single beat wagon (I know, I know I've just made a rake of 3D ones but IRM spec would be hyper-wow) Double beat wagon H-Van CAF Mk4 DVT (really out of my era but its gorgeous and would look great behind an MM 222 or 229) Side Curtain cement wagon Bogie Fertiliser wagon B101 Sulzer B113 Sulzer (Dalek) 2 axle Guinness wagon with keg loads E class shunter 3 hours ago, iarnrod said: Tara Mines wagon Bogie Bulk Cement wagon 42' Flat wagon Bagged cement wagon Ballast brake van A Class loco 22000 railcars I'd nearly give up the hobby if 'orrible yo-yo's ever came to market Park Royal coach Laminate coach 26 minutes ago, murrayec said: Mr Musk is joining the IRM team and we all get a slightly singed used car?

iarnrod Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Like your thinking @Noel. Lots of CIE era stuff there. 1
Broithe Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 I will probably just miss it - I should be passing up the quay at about half six on the Tuesday morning, so I might still see some of the aftermath. As for new models, I'm just going to wait for the N gauge live steam turfburner,
RobertRoche Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 For future models I'd say bogie cement and I suppose bagged cement is a possibility. Something like a ballast regulator or operating tamper would be right up the IRM street with detail but that's dreamland! Anyone up for timber or steel wagons? I'd be surprised by the Mark 4 DVT as there are no Irish Mark 4s available. I'm going to give the DVT a go in the next few months all going well.
Railer Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 As for predictions, 42ft flat Bagged cement/ pallet cement Oil wagons 22ft flat Bogie bulk cement 4 axel coal or timber or kegs 47ft flat Ammonia tankers

How about a three car class 80 and then use the Mark 2 coach mold for the basis for an Accurascale British project!!! Come on lads!!!
heirflick Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Any chance of a few dancing girls and an ambulance being there? 'Twould be great to have the girls to take my mind off the announcement of 42' flats, twin plough vans and a 3 pack of manganese wagons. The ambulance is on stand by if ye announce an 'A' class!!

WRENNEIRE Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Granny B said she could do a few moves, depending on her rider request being met Tube of Pollygrip to stop her teeth falling out Pack of Abri-Flex Premium, keep her nice and dry Mug of Cocoa after every 3 dances, keep the sugar levels up Some sawdust on the floor in case she spills Finally a few minutes with Bosko or Blaine, shes not picky. 1

jhb171achill Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) An NCC "Jeep", and a decent AEC / GNR / CIE / UTA / NIR railcar are musts for a future time. Fert bogie - a perfect companion for bubbles and Guinness wagons! Midland six wheeler Cattle trucK I'll be there, see you then. I can travel into town on the Harcourt St line; most appropriate.
