connollystn Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 The bees' knees, the dogs' ********. There aren't enough superlatives to describe it. Looks like it will be the best ready to run model of an Irish locomotive prototype ever! 1 Quote

spudfan Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Will the models featuring the Crossley diesel engines have an intermittent break down facility built in? 5 Quote

I believe some Chips can have this sort of fun programmed in and can be user activated. Personally I prefer the real world where it comes out of the blue... I guess the smoke unit should have an oil launcher cell as well... But brilliant work and I look forward even if the wallet/ bank manager have doubts.. Robert Quote

One to break down halfway down the Gullet to Kingsbridge, one to fail on the train at the platform there and one to take the train out. No kiddin' - I had the story from the late Ron Pocklington who was explaining why the Blessed Oliver took so little direct interest in the Turf Burner - he had to contend with this sort of thing regularly. As we often say - "you couldn't make it up". 3 Quote
spudfan Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 Looks like it'll be Christmas Day in the attic. I'll just leave lots of photos lying about so that the wife and kids remember what I look like. 1 1 Quote
Warbonnet Posted January 21, 2020 Author Posted January 21, 2020 A Class Update! Hi everyone, We have been working hard on our A Class in the background in recent months in a quest to get it right. We can now confirm a delivery date of mid-October 2020. We apologise for this delay, but it is important to get the model right and produce the best A Class in OO gauge. Check out our website for more information: https://irishrailwaymodels.com/blogs/announcements/a-class-update-january-2020 Thanks, Fran (on behalf of IRM Team) 8 1 Quote
Georgeconna Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 And there was much rejoicing from my wallet!!. These will be worth the wait I'm sure. 4 1 Quote
RobertRoche Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 It will certainly be worth the wait! 2 Quote
Noel Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Hi Fran et al, Yea no problem with the delay. MRSI show will be bursting with Irish locos. Thanks for the flow of information guys, really appreciate it, and it helps with planning. Will be worth the wait. Nice also to have a gap between it and the MM121 expenditure. Do you mind me enquiring what are the date plans for the Deltic and BR Class 37 (both of which I've pre-ordered)? Thanks. Noel 1 1 Quote
WaYSidE Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I was hoping for lenz type feedback decoders on your ESU sound decoders?, anyway, theres plenty of time so, for me to finish the block occupancy, all the turnout motors and the rest of my track work, I can wait as long as it takes for thats the story of my layout, with just two weeks off each winter to work on it, its all slow. 1 1 Quote
mmie353 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Uh Oh... a delay, guess I know what that means... time to plan an increase my order for 4...... Fran, thanks for letting us know. I am perfectly fine with a delay, it actually helps me out, in my quest for ordering more, once the 121's are out. 3 1 Quote

Noel Hi Noel, Deltic update here: https://accurascale.co.uk/blogs/news/deltic-update-january-2020 Class 37 is un-impacted and on schedule (as are our other announced projects (and a great many unannounced ones!)) Many thanks! Quote
Robert Shrives Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 As others have said thanks for the candid update , and welcome to the Chinese industrial experience of the new year and factory delays !! A balancing act of being ignored by the factory or inviting an expediting voluntary fee if you push for a given delivery date or being laid back and letting time take its course. It is just great dealing with the culture. Robert 1 Quote

It is just great dealing with the culture. Robert I would not single out the Chinese for particular criticism all nations have their national holidays when everything stops, factories have production schedules, if you loose your slot you go to the back of the queue or you pay a fee to have your work expedited which happens everywhere. In my experience British suppliers/manufacturers are no better or worse than the Chineses, I regularly experience delays and quality assurance issues with kit components supplied by British manufacturers. 6 Quote

My first school was in Malta, I was asked for the name of it for use as a 'security answer', I told her that I couldn't remember, but it was in Latin, and so we settled on some related word to use instead. Later, I realised that she thought I had made a rather feeble joke as an excuse for my forgetfulness, but it was actually true... 1 1 Quote

newman Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 I have placed my first pre-orders / orders of an Irish outline model after seeing the A class online I decided I had to have it! Also in the (slow) process of creating a layout for them! https://www.facebook.com/The-Kerry-Road-101922008040711 3 Quote
