Dempsey Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 The closer it gets to the release the harder it is too be patient. Models looks amazing guys well done and looks to just glade across the rails 1 1 Quote

I'm dreading seeing everybody posting pictures and videos 48 hours after orders ship, because I know that mine will take about three weeks longer to arrive... Unless I can find somebody flying down here the day after launch, who can smuggle a few in their suitcase! Quote

Warbonnet Posted July 19, 2021 Author Posted July 19, 2021 Hi everyone, No luck so far on the leaderboard but can confirm that the entire A Class run is over 70% sold out now. So, make sure you get your orders in soon! Cheers! Fran 2 2 Quote
enniscorthyman Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 I wonder would it be possible when things get back to some sort of normality,that the high priests of IRM maybe might do a lecture/talk on the beginnings, and IRM products to date at some future show? 4 1 Quote
DART8118 Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 I'd enjoy that and I'd also enjoy a talk or video that did a walkthrough of the production process. 1 Quote

Hi Eamonn, Sure, we were going to do something like that when we did the launch for project 42, but it snowed and we had to cancel! We can certainly look into it again when things are better than they are now, whether it be an event on its own, or part of a show. Cheers! Fran 3 1 Quote
Warbonnet Posted July 20, 2021 Author Posted July 20, 2021 Hi everyone, One delight we have yet to show off is our special edition class leader; A1. We decided to make this one a bit special, with limited edition certificate, 250 pieces and a wooden presentation box. It represents the loco in as delivered condition in 1955 complete with sandboxes. Check it out. Remember, this locomotive is only available via IRM direct and strictly limited to 250 pieces. As we all know, Irish locos tend to appreciate in value, so this represents a great investment opportunity as much as something very special. Reserve yours today: https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/a-class-locomotive/products/a1-a-class-locomotive Cheers! Fran 9 6 Quote
Georgeconna Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Sweet , Normally anything in a Fancy box does not last too long on my house but this one surely will! Looks Fab BTW. 2 1 Quote

Robert Shrives Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 I am glad to see you perfecting handrails, packaging and then the handling/ kicking about the whitevan are somethings that fill me with dread. I might consider getting etched and chemically blackend stainless steel or nickle silver . Certainly I would hope you could get a couple of handrails in the accessory pack if not too late.

Warbonnet Posted July 21, 2021 Author Posted July 21, 2021 Hi everyone, 027 in Supertrain is today's treat. No loco wore Supertrain better than the As in my humble opinion!

ttc0169 Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Superb yet again…..it’s going to be a great few months ahead on Tara junction when these iconic locomotives arrive…. Edited July 22, 2021 by ttc0169 3 1 1 Quote
NIRCLASS80 Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 048! Now that’s perfection! Exactly how a locomotive should look! Can’t wait for this to arrive now! 1 Quote
NIRCLASS80 Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Just a quick question but does the CAWS guard have to be removed if using couplings or can it be used down to a certain radius of curve? 1 Quote
Dempsey Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 After seeing these photos I can't wait for mine even more. Looks amazing. 1 1 Quote
patrick Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 I'm curious to know if the models shipped with only one coupler fitted as shown in the photos? Quote
JasonB Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 I only had eyes for the A's carrying the day-glo panels, but that is seriously tasty. My finger is hovering over the link to order. 3 1 Quote

Hi Gareth, The cutout should handle radius two curves as it's a kinematic coupling. 12 hours ago, patrick said: I'm curious to know if the models shipped with only one coupler fitted as shown in the photos? Hi Patrick, They will be shipped with one coupling fitted as per photos with the second in the accessory pack for you to install if desired. They just clip into the NEM pocket. Cheers!

Fran Thanks for the info. I always try to have 24inch radius curves as a minimum so that’s great. 1 Quote
