Diecast is definitely the right choice Fran and I will be running a few empties to show off the excellent detail of the skeletal wagon. Rich, 3 1 Quote

scahalane Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 Plenty of stock there to suit my Kent station layout. Looking forward to these, especially the ferts. Now if only I could concoct a story line of how the Tara's took a wrong turn and ended up in Cork for the day!!! 2 1 Quote

The prototypes mean nothing to me, have never even seen them in the flesh, but the model renders look absolutely stunning so I may have to bend the rules so they can run behind B&T locos on Kingsbridge (sacrilege I know to permit a bogie wagon in the B&T era but its my model railway so anything is possible with imagination) 3 Quote
RedRich Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 It would have been equally welcomed if the Ballast Plough had been to the standard of the previous releases but the fact that it will have these extra features makes it even more special. I love the PWD rolling stock, the tampers, maintenance vehicles. These machines and their crews keep the railway safe and sound for those that travel by rail. I love stopping at Kildare for the few moments to see the rolling stock and also envy Herr Flicks location to the depot at Portlaoise you lucky man Seamus. Who knows one may end up being produced in the future, as for now it is certainly a great time for us modellers. Rich,. 5 Quote

The Creator ordained it that bogies were for carriages and 4.4.0 locomotives, not wagons! Well at least we don't have to have these new-fangled 071s...... 1 Quote
Glenderg Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 So prior to the introduction of bogied freight in 1971, the only bogied frieght stock would have been the short wheelbase Guinness grain wagons, which sounds like The Creator got his priorities right R. 3 Quote
Railer Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 What is the technical name for the sheet metal that covers the bogies on the flats. The later flats seem to have them. 1 Quote

Ah, that's why I called them spark guards earlier and Richie thought I was on about something else on the bogies. 1 Quote
Glenderg Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 Ah sorry Railer, It's hard sometimes to answer these things without photos! These are the heavy duty versions of the bogies, with the "sticky outty bit"* found on the bogie cements, ammonias and a few others. *technical term 1 Quote
dave182 Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 A quick question for IRM HQ, and I'm surprised no-one else has asked yet.. have you considered a twin or triple pack of the 42' flat without any load? Quote

Robert Shrives Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 I did wonder that but I thought I would put the loads on my MIR/ 3D print/ Triang bash versions and use the super-dooper ones as the empties ! But if you do not have ,like me a pile of waggons in the works then that would be ideal for many . perhpaps the spoil wagons will be a bit cheaper given the little loads and these sans boxes will give a value for money empty option. Will the wagons come with user changeable buffers or have I missed that in all the posts? Robert Quote

heirflick Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Calling IRM Towers - re the weedsprayer .... will the models include connecting pipework between tanks (both twin on the one flat / between each flat and connecting to the spray van)? 3 Quote
Warbonnet Posted March 6, 2018 Author Posted March 6, 2018 The pipework will all be there Seamus and it is our aim to have them connected, we have to look into how feasible it is but we will be doing everything to make sure it works! 3 2 Quote

rebelred Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Hi guys, apologies for only responding to this now, I haven't been on the forum in a while.. the models/plans look fantastic & I am sure will be a resounding success, so well done & thanks for taking the risk so we can get to enjoy these fine models! I personally am looking forward to the 'Flats' & The Guinness wagons.. You can easily create a latter Ammonia Water Barrier Wagon, by spraying one of C-Rails's containers green, adding Decals & sticking it on to one of IRM's Flats so truly exciting times ahead! Just need to rob a bank now... 2 1 Quote

RobertRoche Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 How many plough vans did Iarnród Éireann have? I'm modelling 2000-present, presumably I'll want the IÉ pack? Unless there was some overlap in liveries for my time period - would anyone know? Quote
