NIRCLASS80 Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Given that the UK forums and indeed some manufacturers including the Accurascale lads have already announced new items for 2021 is there any speculation about what is being released by Murphy/IRM this year after the A Class release? 2 1 Quote
DoctorPan Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Well going by what they've said prior, I would guess the Blue Taras might appear this year after the As 1 Quote
DJ Dangerous Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Mk2D's in IR and RPSI liveries, Mk4 IE coaches, old-timey coaches for the old guys, blue Taras, P47 chassis, RoadLiner trucks, green Dublin buses, the B&I ferry, 21mm track and a partridge in a pear tree. 3 2 Quote
gm171 kk Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 My money is on oil wagons. Also hoping for pallet cements, 4w flats, Ammonia etc. etc. etc. 4 Quote

Warbonnet Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Feel free to froth men, but I will throw a few logs on the fire... 1. We are working on several new tool projects at the moment, but we wont do one big announcement like project 42. Instead we will announce one at a time. 2. We will only announce when we have a tooling sample to display. We are doing the same for Accurascale. 3. We should have news on re-issues of other projects dotted throughout the year too, but this will be based on receiving samples too to show off. We will have one or two small re-issue announcements in the next couple of weeks, but I think (dont quote me!) the next all new model probably wont be until just after the As land (though I might be wrong on that!) That's all yer getting. Enjoy! 16 Quote

Bob229 Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 MK4 Coaches and a DVT would be perfect, could adapt the Accurscale new MK 5 coaches that are due 2 Quote
Robert Shrives Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 It will be good to see what comes after the A class - C/MV would be logical at some point. Having got kits of the spoils and the Railbus part done I am confident these should be ok. But P47 and P20 ideas abound - Beets would seem logical given froth they cause. Cement pallets with 4 in build and bogie tanks and bogie cements offer use of existing bogies and as I have some of these in the build heap it would be a good guess that these will be rtr before I finish mine. Really the 80 class and ICR would be fun of course, but would be investment rich so perhaps not yet but good for dreams. 2 Quote

A Ballymena & Larne train pack - an obvious commercial opportunity here in that the loco would work for an Isle of Man layout as well, and the coaches would run on a Ballycastle line setup AND allow the builder to model Donegal station in its current form. 3 1 Quote
Westcorkrailway Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 I think we are well overdue for number 800 maebh to be made in a pre-assemled form. There has been kits before but the only off the shelf irish steam locos have been the mogul and the flying snail pocket rocket. And even those were re-skins....what I'm saying is that when it happens it will be a landmark in irish modeling like the lima 201s and MM 141s Granted we are few years away from that but its when rather then if I would think. 2 Quote

If EVER a narrow gauge prototype was done, something which ran on several lines would be the most viable. This indeed, or T & D stuff which ran on the T & D, WCR and C & L. While only one home, a Donegal 2.6.4T also.... Quote
DJ Dangerous Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Steam? Ah would you stop??? It'll be IRM 141 twin packs long before an auld steamer. Twin packs, one loco motorized, one dummy with lights only, ideal Christmas presents for 2022. Quote

Noel Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 In time I'm sure all will be revealed. Mk3 coaches seem the gaping hole remaining now that A class is in progress, given all the MM locos and soon A class with so few coaches to haul. Personally I'd prefer CIE B&T laminates or Park Royal's but that's just not gonna happen The glass seems 110% full as it is. We've never had it so good. 5 Quote

Westcorkrailway Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 I think if your going to get those early cie coaches in, AEC railcars may As well be released alongside them (GNRI versions included) along with green and black n tan 1 Quote

Westcorkrailway Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 I would think that in terms of rolling stock, keep supplying stuff for late CIE, IR and IE (stuff that suits whats already on the market) for new locomotives I'm on through side of Early CIE stuff like AEC railcars, C class, number 800 maebh and then after that starting to make new tooling for models already abailble (071 and 141 are starting to get higher in demand...and price!) 2 Quote
NIRCLASS80 Posted January 19, 2021 Author Posted January 19, 2021 My wish list! C Class also NIR MV NIR 80 Class Bogie timber Short flats for 20’ containers Bagged cement wagons, both versions But I’m sure if IRM produces anything that ran in the late 1980’s and 1990’s then the bank balance will suffer! 3 1 Quote

Ah, Robert, but you have the satisfaction of being able to say - "I built these myself" - from Provincial Wagons kits but then, I would say that, wouldn't I? A lot of these ARE available as kits from me now - "Ask and it shall be given thee". Only the corrugated open is a bit fiddly, thanks to the spindly brake gear - but it looks great when finished! Even Noel was converted! Leslie 5 1 Quote
