Wexford70 Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Are each of the keg cages numbered differently in each of the packs? Great looking models. 2 Quote

Is that running era of nineties to '06 due to the height of the cages? As in, would an accesory pack of cages with lower sides make these same wagons appropriate for somebody modelling from the seventies until the nineties? Or were the wagons themselves physically different? Thanks! Quote

mmie353 Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Hi Fran, I am curious that is all, will they get dispatched from Ireland or the UK? An Post are shipping no parcels to the US at the moment, hence why I am wondering where they are shipping from. Mark M Quote

An Post are shipping no parcels to the US at the moment, hence why I am wondering where they are shipping from. Mark M Good morning Mark, We moved all of our logistics and fulfilment to the UK last October/November, so as usual, all parcels will ship from the UK, using either Royal Mail Tracked, or for some large orders DHL. Once the team have sorted and counted / checked the stock in, we'll begin dispatch of the many many orders of kegs, as soon as yours leaves us, you'll get an email update with tracking details. This is a good time for all to check their orders look ok, delivery addresses remain accurate, payments are reflected correctly and all is well before the rush Quote
Warbonnet Posted June 16, 2020 Author Posted June 16, 2020 Hi everyone, Our keg liners are now IN STOCK!!! Pre-orders will begin to arrive at the end of this week. Exciting times! Want to get some of your own? Limited amount remaining, make sure you get your order in asap: https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/guinness-keg-liners Cheers! Fran 8 Quote

leslie10646 Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Wot's all this then? All is revealed Looks nice - I wonder does it run - sorry lunch is ready - you'll have to wait! Thanks, boys! Edited June 19, 2020 by leslie10646 7 Quote
leslie10646 Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) In haste - Even worse, but proof that they run very well! MAQ03426.m4v Really is lunch time. I'd better present myself! Edited June 19, 2020 by leslie10646 6 Quote
leslie10646 Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) You can tell how pleased I am with my new toys and while The Boys have shown us some photos of "what you get", it's not until you actually take it to bits that you realise - You get 450 barrels of Guinness and if each holds 88 pints (someone can correct me), that's just short of 40,000 pints - that's a pint and a half for every day of my 74 years!), five nice cages and a very fine wagon, which barely weighs 50grams - no wonder No.53 ran away with eight on (see Layouts, Portadown Jct). It's all a bit of a change from the old order - here seen with it's little sisters at Portadown Goods - I said it before - VERY well done! Edited June 20, 2020 by leslie10646 8 1 1 Quote
NIRCLASS80 Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) I must add to the positive comments. These are great looking wagons. The styling is just so typically unique to Irish railways. IMG_5586.MOV IMG_5586.MOV Edited June 21, 2020 by NIRCLASS80 9 1 Quote

Warbonnet Posted June 22, 2020 Author Posted June 22, 2020 Hi everyone, Thanks for all your orders for our keg wagons so far! They've been so popular that we only have 6 bundle deals left in stock!

Broithe Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 One gone now... I may actually be winning from all this lockdown stuff. Although I currently have zero income, I also spend virtually nothing. I haven't been in any shop (other than a weekly Lidl run) since early March. I've fixed loads of stuff 'for free' that I might have been tempted to replace, otherwise. I'm driving 28 miles per week and haven't put any fuel in since then, either. I still have half a tank. I would probably have only had two packs in 'normal' times, now I feel justified in going for a bundle. 3 1 1 Quote
John-r Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 My keg bundle arrived yesterday evening and I was able to really appreciate going over these wagons last night. To say they are stunning is an ( and yes I have said that about each Irm release and will probably say the same about future releases ) understatement. They really do look the part . Thanks very much lads once again for a lovely wagon. Cheers 2 Quote
Robert Shrives Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Good to see these looks so well , my two packs seem caught in a postal time warp/ black hole having now had three differing emails from PO, and getting delivery to my local PO for today nothing came except another no- reply email saying at Sorting office - which is only doing redelivery and saying I can pick it up !! go figure . Hopefully tomorrow... Robert 1 Quote
burnthebox Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) I to would like to express my thanks to the guys in IRM as I received my bundle of Guinness Kegs on Monday last, & although I haven’t as yet been able to physically hold the wagons I have no doubt of their perfection judging by the detail on my sets of Tara Wagons, Cement Bubbles & my Ballast Plough vans, & I am really looking forward to getting my paws on my 121 BTB Edited June 25, 2020 by burnthebox 1 1 Quote
DoctorPan Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Annoyingly my kegs "appearently" came Monday as I have the slip saying sorry we missed you but alas no knocks on the door. Not like my usual postie! Still delievery rearranged for within 5 working days. The pictures are whetting my whistle as the thirst for the kegs is something aweful! 1 Quote

Well my keg liner is somewhere but with Royal Mail tracking it seems to have disappeared into the bowels of the earth, (or freighter or something). Undoubtedly it will resurface somewhere in the US at which point it will hopefully NOT be transferred to the US Postal service whose tracking system is equally woeful as the Royal Mail's. Shopify isn't any more helpful as it probably relies on these. 17Track is usually pretty good for most carriers but again dependent on the primary carriers tracking. I have three packages total (not from IRM) 'In Transit' somewhere around the globe. One was due today ...... Crickets.....chirp, chirp........ Bloody irritating but, anyway, hopefully they'll all turn up at some point. 1 Quote
