Warbonnet Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Hi everyone, We have done a bit of a stock clear up and managed to find some packs A-D Taras in very limited quantities. These are now on the website and available to buy, so if you missed out on Taras, here is your chance! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/tara-mines All the bubbles are now back in stock too, the greys are beginning to run low, so if you fancy them, it's worth grabbing them soon! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/cement-bubbles Cheers!

Irishswissernie Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) When the orange bubbles came out I purchased the 2 sets E & F as a measure of support as I thought they might not sell as well as the Ivorys . Proved wrong as usual! I don't need them so if anyone wishes to re-patriate them please PM me Price £125 (sterling|) per set this should cover Paypal fees and postage. They havn't been out of the boxes. Ernie NOW DEFINITELY SOLD AND PAID FOR Edited February 9, 2020 by Irishswissernie SOLD 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well pleased!! Happy days, glad you discovered you have some. I still have four of your former MIR ones beautifully painted and weathered by you. Got them from Wrenneire some years ago. I tried to emulate your weathering on my own IRM Orange bubbles, and thanks for your tip BTW on the use plastic paste on the tops to simulate caked layers Before pristine untouched as delivered by IRM and afterwards Edited February 9, 2020 by Noel 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had I known about them before this lot were procured by the KRPA I'd have bought less and more of the greys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 The Cement Bubbles seem to be a very popular wagon. Any plans for another run of them?

Ivory with CIE roundel (new numbers) Ivory with Irish Cement branding (would be same numbers again as we can only find evidence of 6!) Orange Grey Happy to listen and take on feedback. Cheers!

murphaph Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Pack A Irish Cement was very hard to find and I never managed to track one down. It is the only IRM item I never managed to catch up on. I would buy a pack A in Irish Cement in a heartbeat. I would also buy any white CIE roundel ones with new numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murphaph Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Quick question about the original run....I am doing some "stocktaking" now that a re-run may be on the horizon. I bought a bunch of duplicate pack G's to renumber but will probably just sell those on now, just keeping one pack and buying new numbers instead. Maybe I missed it as I returned to the hobby after these had been released but my pack G's don't contain exactly what's printed on the box. All 5 packs that I have contain the following wagons: 25064 25127 25136 According to the packaging and the website they should contain: 25064 25136 25178 It looks like in my packs the 25178's are always missing, replaced with a 25127. 4 of the 5 packs I have only just opened now to check. Was this the case for every pack G made or just some? I don't really care what running numbers are in the box but if I am selling them I would like to know if they were all like that, so I can mention it in the ad. I will obviously list the actual running numbers and mention the fact these deviate from the packaging but if they are all like that it's less of an issue when selling.

You'll get the most interest from @WRENNEIRE, if you're selling these oddities Edited December 16, 2022 by DiveController Forgot about Pack H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphaph Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I think they are probably all like this Kevin. I just never noticed as it was immaterial up to now. Upon closer inspection the image on the website shows what's actually in the box. The listing on the website differs by one wagon and this listing matches the print on the packaging. https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/cement-bubbles/products/irish-cement-wagon-multi-pack-g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) So the printing is incorrect, not the wagons. I'm in the same boat with some duplicates as yet unnumbered. Unfortunately I think I only have the one Pack A @murphaph Edited December 16, 2022 by DiveController Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like we may get another bite at the Irish Cement cherry. I suspect those are likely to be very popular among newcomers to the hobby who missed out first time. They were the ones I wanted the most anyway and I was delighted to get pack H when I did. Yeah the wagons are fine and they match the picture on the website. It's the description on the website that has a discrepancy and this discrepancy is also to be found on the packaging but I strongly suspect that they were all like that and it's of no importance. I was going nuts here though because I took out one pack G to display in my display case but I could not figure out why this one wagon was there or where it was coming from as it's not listed as one of the wagons in any of the packs I do own (C,D,G,H) lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmie353 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) I would love the grey, they were lovely. I would add to the orange and the Ivory and CIE models that I have. I try and stay away from running the same numbers. So if you were to release all 4 variants, as I try to collect them all. @Warbonnet how many of each if you are doing a run would you be looking at? Also would it be a Q2 or Q3 release? Edited December 17, 2022 by mmie353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
