Less than 20 B134 models remaining

[RPSI B134]

Less than 20 B134 models remain available.

 

If you are looking for that unique Christmas gift or fancy a treat for yourself, what better way to do it and support the RPSI at the same time. The last of our specially produced limited edition B134 models are left available for purchase. These highly detailed models have proven to be very popular with modellers,collectors and supporters of the RPSI. Only 300 of these models were produced and when these last few models are gone that will be it, no more!

 

The proceeds from the sale of these models have directly helped the RPSI this year, thank you to all those who have contributed. This has greatly helped the finances in this challenging year and also allowed for the provison of material to all work to continue on the restoration of the real thing in Inchicore Works.

 

The delay in work due to Covid will see the locomotive emerge from Inchicore in 2021, certainly something for us all to look forward to.

Hi @RPSI B134 

Are there any plans for RPSI to release more Craven RPSI Blue'n'cream livery coaches in the short to medium term?

Prefer to see something from the heritage set that would fill in a lots of rolling stock gaps

How about a twin pack of 303 and 304, Mk2D's in RPSI green, to compliment the green Bachmann RPSI coaches?

It'd be handy if somebody was doing a run of IR Mk2D's and could run some for the RPSI at the same time!

Thank you for the wonderful model of B134. I have sent two of them as Christmas presents this year!

Hi everyone,

Can we focus on the last remaining B134s for sale for the RPSI instead of hitting them with wishlisting product suggestions? I know no harm is meant but this is an important fund raiser for them after a year of not being able to run trains. Big bills are still incurred and still have to be paid without income from us enthusiasts and members of the general public to pay fares. The RPSI have to keep the wheels turning even without this revenue. 

The model of B134 has been a welcome boost to their coffers I'm sure so lets not let it get lost by going off on wishlist tangents. Can report we are down to 13 units on the website now, so let's support them and focus on getting that last bit of revenue into the RPSI!

Cheers,

Fran

Thanks for that, the most important thing for us at the minute is that we clear the remaining few locomotives in stock. The funds raised from these models has without doubt helped the RPSI in a huge way this year. Not one single passenger has travelled on our trains out of Dublin this year and as you say the bills still need to be paid. We have to keep the locomotives and stock in order for when the time comes that we are permitted to operate once again. At this time of the year we would normally be at our busiest with the Santa train operations which is the main income earner for the year. Instead, the locomotive boiler is cold and the stock empty in Inchicore works. Every single sale of the remaining models will help ensure that we will be ready to go. Again thanks to yourselves at IRM and Paddy Murphy for assisting us with this venture, without this help it would not be possible to make this venture a success.

In regard to projects in the future. The priority is to clear these models first but there are a number of things that are being looked at. Another batch of blue cravens is one option, these would be three open carriages to supplement the existing models. The production of the bar and snack cars is prohibitive due to the cost of tooling. The green Mk2's is another option but again it would be down to the production of other models to coincide with their release. It is all down to cost and the demand for such models. A significant number need to be sold to make it all viable and make money for the society. There would not be plans for the heritage stock as the cost of tooling for production versus the number that would be sold simply wouldn’t work.

You can all rest assured that options are under consideration and should the opportunity present itself and there is sufficient demand they will be produced.

So, in the meantime let's get the last of these models sold and we can take it from there. Thank you to all those who have supported the RPSI with this venture, and for those who have yet to purchase one don't leave it too late because once they are gone- they are gone!

Thanks

These are fantastic locos, sold for a fantastic cause. I'm sure the last few will sell very well.

Apologies for dragging the thread off topic, it was just an attempt to keep it visible and boost sales.

Down to the last ten!!!

It's no problem at all, and we do usually let things be a free rein here most of the time, but we just want to make sure in this instance the RPSI cause gets out there as much as we can.

Well done to everyone who purchased today!
