Regarding the above. I know Hattons had an issue with axle boxes falling off, but it looks like IRM have an issue with axles falling off. No doubt this will be rectified before they go on sale. Maybe the two missing axles are in the box, did you check?

As long as the front doesn't fall off..........

Coming in the second runAlong with Galway livery 001 Class and these liveries which definitely existed and definetly is not photoshopped and put together by northernblue109 on flickr 

 

[jhb171achill]

They actually look OK in blue!

Who would have thought it? A "Hill 16 special" from north of the border...

Never thought I'd say this but it's highly likely that Mayo will win the Sam Maguire before the IRM As arrive on  these shores.

Hi guys. Was unable to amend my previous post [above]. What I meant to say is "It's highly likely that the IRM As will arrive on these shores before Mayo win the Sam Maguire".

Sorry if this has been answered already.

I have skimmed through the thread and can't find the answer.

What are the boxed and unboxed weights of the locos, including the special edition?

What size are both regular and special edition packages?

Thank you!

 

Sorry to be repeating my question, I'm not sure if it has been answered either prior to or post my posting.

Thanks!

[BosKonay]

We don’t have the final Boxed weights until we check the stock into the warehouse t we’ll update the website once we know more.

Thanks. Are we a few days away or a few weeks away at this stage? Just asking for a friend  

[Warbonnet]

We're looking at circa another 10 days folks. The train relies on lots of connections. Think the boat is simpler and almost as fast for future reference!

It works for us pretty well over the last while, just a bit of  Bad luck you got caught in the Strike. Don't give up bud! Could be worse and stuck in a ship in a canal somewhere

 

[John-r]

Your doing the very best you can lads, these delays with covid and train strikes are totally beyond your control. When they arrive they arrive, for me anyway, they are a serious looking piece of work. Thank you.

Just a few more days guys - can you believe it? - after a 40 year journey from those early efforts by Lima to something world class… and who would have thought the A class could be found on the Trans-Siberian railway?

After waiting this long I think we can wait a few more days.
