Fitzer replied to BR Blue's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
The Accurascale Facebook imge wagon has HMA on it very clearly. -
Accurascale Class 55 Deltic - 4mm scale
Fitzer replied to Andy Y's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
https://accurascale.co.uk/blogs/news/deltic-update-january-2020 They're looking at late Novemeber as of now. I can see that slipping a bit myself into maybe very early 21 because of the Covid19 situation. -
Thanks Fran, What really stands out to me is the feel ane weight of the PTAs, to me an unloaded PTA feels more weighty and solid than the 42. I think it's just due to the prototype construction with the PTA being a particularly beefy wagon compared to an Irish 20 or 22ft flat. Anyways, can't wait for the full height LLNW loads.

Just after receiving my first Accurascale purchase after being an IRM customer since day 1. To say I'm extremely impressed in an understatement with my DRS bundle pack. To me these PFA wagons are a few levels ahead of anything produced under the IRM brand bar maybe the plough vans. The Accurascale packaging is also alot more premium than the IRM range while at the same time the price point per wagon is alot cheaper. Having examined and ran the PFAs over the weekend I can't help but feel what happened the Project 42 range. I was so impressed I went and ordered the Cawoods bundle before they sold out due to their Irish connection despite having nothing suitable to haul them. I really can wait for the TPE Mk5s and KUAs I have on order after purchasing these. Amazing little wagons and so cheap too.

Accurascale announce Rawie Buffer Stops in 4mm
Fitzer replied to Andy Y's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
Just order two sets myself. Just a quick question lads, why are the Irish versions on the AS site while there is no UK standard on the IRM site? I think there are a few of the UK standard on the Irish network around the DART line. -
Class 37, by Accurascale
Fitzer replied to Accurascale Fran's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
Optional Dellner in the box just like the sleeper 92s. They are toying with the idea of having one end fully fitted and the other with an NEM out of the box like the Dapol 68s. -

Fitzer replied to adb968008's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models

Is that the new or old cab with the partition wall right behind the seats? Think that's 37/6 mod? -
IRM To Produce CIE A/001 Class Locomotive
Fitzer replied to Andy Y's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
Fantastic pics from Andy of the A class, they clear up so many concerns I had a about the shape from previous pics. The shape of this is well and truly captured and must have been a challenge to get the cab profile just right. Any chance they can be reposted up on the IRM forums? -

Irish Rail CAF Mk4's - Would This Be Viable?
Fitzer replied to BritishRail60062's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
Have to remember that MM only released 512 examples of each 222 and 229 in the IC Mk4 livery. Yes there was a bit of cross over with orange block 2 201s hauling them for about 2 years while they were repainted, 225 being the last hold out. The Mk3s were basically hauled by everything in every livery bar the A and C classes of obvious reasons. Even pushpull sets were hauled by non push pull locos. -
Irish Rail CAF Mk4's - Would This Be Viable?
Fitzer replied to BritishRail60062's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
Sure the range of Irish MK3s have yet to be done. All we had so far are Lima and Hornby resprays. None of them are proper due to the plug doors. Irish buffet MK3s have a different window and roof layout to the UK ones and we don't have a high end RTR model of MK3 EGVs either. What would be nice are some MK3 push pull sets for the 121s being released this year. -
Irish Rail CAF Mk4's - Would This Be Viable?
Fitzer replied to BritishRail60062's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
Better off painting a BREL MK4 set. The CAF mk5s have nothing visually in common with CAF 4. Wouldn't pass the 2ft rule lol. -
If only Dapol would sort their coupling heights. I have 5 68s and a rake of IDA wagons. All unusable out of the box due to low coupling heights causing derailments over points and curves. Great models but the NEM pockets are not at standard height like all Hornby and Bachmann models.

Fitzer replied to Accurascale Fran's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
It's the sleeper stock that's having software issues. The stock is having issues being split and reformed and brake issues going with that. The TPE by nature of being fixed sets don't have the same issues. Nothing to do with milage. The Mk5 and 5A are a different animal from each other. -
Irish railway modeller forum outage?
Fitzer replied to Porkscratching's topic in Irish Railways Group
Gone for the best part of a week now. Hopefully they can get it sorted out soonish.
