Warbonnet Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Hi everyone, New releases in Irish railway modelling are coming thick and fast with spoils, weedspray, 121s, Rail Link buses and now we have an extra bonus release on project 42; empty liner flats! These are perfect for those of you who wish to bolster or build your liner trains and already had some CRail 40ft containers in stock, or fancy adding some of their colourful container range to your fleet and need wagons for them! You can also add your IRM Keg cages too! Our factory was able to offer us additional capacity during the assembly of the weed spray wagons so we were able to avail of a limited run of empty flats in packs of three. However, this run is quite small and limited in size with one pack on offer for €115. These wagons feature new running numbers separate to our previous 42ft flat runs too! Perfect for 40ft containers with additional more modern touches in decoration. Perfect for your 121s, 071s, 141s and 201s! These beauties are now in stock and available to order here: https://irishrailwaymodels.com/products/cie-ir-42-flat-triple-pack This brings to an end our extensive 42ft project. We have something a bit different for our next newly tooled model, which we hope to reveal late 2020! Cheers! Fran 11 1 Quote

DJ Dangerous Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere, but is it possible to buy the yellow lugs so that 20ft containers can be mounted on these, or for example, the Keg Liner flats? 1 Quote
murphaph Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 I would really like to be able to buy a bag of those. Quote

Hi there, Not at this moment. Thanks to everyone who has ordered so far, these have proven very popular indeed with less than 30% of stock remaining! Cheers! Fran 2 Quote
Robert Shrives Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 slightly off topic but I removed yellow pegs from spoil wagon containers - off inner end as all held in place by the stone guard so got 8 pegs of two wagon so that allows two pegs on 4 short containers. A thin slice of plastic strip held in by tacky wax would also allow a non damaging fix. UHU or similar glue would do I guess. Robert 1 Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 Some pics of the new flats on the Lima/MM thread Emjoy! 2 Quote
John-r Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 Great addition to the fantastic project 42 range, lots of scope with what to do with them. Ordered. 1 1 Quote

I had been thinking of something like that, just sticking a thin strip of plastic in to raise the end of the 20ft that sits in the centre of the flat, to match the height of the end which sits on the lugs at the end of the flat...

flange lubricator Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 I have ordered a set of these just wondering will there be a version with the red oxide coloured bogies as opposed to the later version with the piebald ones ? 1 Quote
DiveController Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 With the announcement that Project 42 has now completed does this mean that the original blue Taras has been shelved? I didn't get any of the later ones and still have that original promo code from the ballasts to use. Quote
Railer Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 The Taras are not part of P42. They are there own entity that just share the same bogies. The Blue Taras are more or less ready to go and tooled up. The guys will probably hold fire until they release some of the Supertrain A class to haul them. 2 Quote

Edo Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 Im going to pass this time - I think i've enough 42s in the liner bundle, fert bundle , spoils and weedspray ! Id say they'll sell out in short order anyway. The rest of this years budget will be going on infrastructure....tho that green lined A class is calling to me everytime I see it for months now...I might have to do something about that 4 Quote
Warbonnet Posted September 23, 2020 Author Posted September 23, 2020 Down to a mere 36 packs left in stock, these have absolutely flown out the door! Thank you to everybody who has ordered. The warehouse are snowed under with orders but we will get them out in the coming days. We still have spoils and some weed sprays left to tempt you with! 2 Quote

mphoey Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 must say the project 42 has been perfect it has given us so many different types of freight train .dont think any manufacturer has ever done a series like this for any railway. i look forward to seeing what treasures irm gives us next year and really hope they do finally look at passenger stock and dmus emus and steam locos soon as its their only areas not delved into yet 4 2 Quote

DiveController Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) I actually put 2 packs in my basket, then rethought it, and exchanged one for a weed spray set. No need to bother renumbering, I can display it occasionally if the flats have no other use than to be in the display, or repurpose the tanks and container unless we see some on a short chassis, Just a thought Edited September 23, 2020 by DiveController 1 1 Quote
Georgeconna Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 No doubt the triple pack will be back with different numbers in the future some time, Man I never owned so many flat wagons! 3 1 Quote
murphaph Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 Great stuff. Already looking forward to a re-run with the red oxide bogies! I honestly think if two or three packs with different running numbers had been produced they'd have sold out almost as quickly this time, at least if I am anything to go by (and I realise a sample size of one doesn't provide statistically significant results lol). I "restricted" myself to two packs because they are duplicates. If a rake of uniquely numbered ones had been available as a bundle I'd have ordered it. I'm not moaning by the way. Just giving a bit of feedback on my purchasing motivations Well done again lads. 3 Quote
Warbonnet Posted September 24, 2020 Author Posted September 24, 2020 Thanks everyone for the support! Glad we took the factory up on their kind offer of a small run and slot being available. Of course if you're looking for flat donors now there are our spoils and weedspray packs available which can be adapted of course. We will have a new announcement in a couple of weeks, so brace yourselves! Cheers! Fran 3 Quote
murphaph Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 I already bought a weedspray for the tanks and container for use on 20' flats someday and to repurpose the flats I am considering the spoils too, but don't tell the missus! 1 Quote
