Great little show if you like your diesels. 

[Warbonnet]

Yes they will Gareth. We werent going to bring IRM stock with us but if you're coming let me know what you want via PM and I can bring them!

Cheers,

Fran

Gents , DEMU is a great show and if about well worth it new bigger venue still in Burton on Trent - home of Bass now called something else which I seem to blank out !! ( Also home to many breweries in times past - masses of little steam tanks called it home.)  Please find a bit of space for Irish stock  -it is bound to create interest esp any Ferts or bogie flats to drool over - for me anyway! - "A " classic move to display at this fine show.  see you Sunday I think if work allows

Just got the email - they're on the way..................now to hopefully evade the customs at Chez Edo " what!!!....more bubbles.....etc etc etc."..........keep telling her it could be far worse...

[ak425]

Edo,  just slip them in among the other bubbles ' customs'  will never notice the latest ones 

[Broithe]

Order some bubble bath as a treat for her and hope they arrive on the same day.

"The bubble stuff is here, Dearest"

She won't notice the other box in her excitement and you won't actually have lied to her.

Tell her that you've now switched your direction towards the railways of Sweden, as a result of her influence.

 

Then you will have an alibi for Googling "Swedish models"....

Christ save us! I'll be fashioning mine into a cock and balls and striding around the house.

The rapidly becoming all familiar green boxes were awaiting me in work this morning. Have to say to say, from my brief look in the box, the bubbles are fantastic!

[Warbonnet]

Thanks men!

As has been reported, the bubbles are now in stock!  The grey ones have been very popular, they certainly will go well with the earlier liveries on our A Classes!

Like a child on christmas morning I am - to the bemusement of wife, mother in law and cat!

Probably not chronologically correct -but who cares ! - looks great!

thanks guys - I hope to get cracking on a more suitable surface for them to grace than the kitchen table.

Received mine this morning. I am very, very pleased with the product. Well done to all concerned.

[WRENNEIRE]

Going all green here men, save the planet!
Do you think you could ask our Chinese friends to stop with the plastic bags?
Have a kitchen full of them and they don't go into the recycle bin

Lol, they insist on them to stop the boxes rubbing together in transit. We have requested cardboard or similar in future for that very reason.

 Just add any four of the bubbles to your cart and the discount will be automatic 

I take it that offer is not running anymore. I just added 4 packs to the cart and it's the normal €500 price?

[BosKonay]

You need to use a discount code / promo code now for it to work (we're working on matching up how we do it on accura with set bundles),

Drop a line to support@irishrailwaymodels.com to get the code

Much appreciated Stephen, all sorted.

A quick question about the bubble livery.

Wasn't the last batch delivered in orange as new due to the staggered batch production? So there should be a set of bubbles that were never in the 1960's grey?

If so how is running number 25187 in grey livery if they finished on 199. Small last production run perhaps?

[Warbonnet]

Hi Railer,

Not sure how big the last batch of bubbles was, but we have a pic of 25187 in grey which is what we used for reference. 

Cheers!

The grey wagons were all repainted orange LONG before the ivory started.

Thus, while at the dawn of the “supertrain” loco livery, there were probably still a few grey bubbles, (a) most were now orange, including the later ones delivered NEW in orange, and (b) all grey were long long gone by the time the “Tippex” striped loco livery appeared (1987).
