Our next model, the highly exclusive CIÉ/Irish Rail 24850-24854 series ballast plough van, is now available to pre-order ahead of delivery in August 2018! Five of the CIÉ/Irish Rail 24850-24854 series vans were introduced in 1978 to supersede elderly pre-grouping vans for the Civil Engineering Department. They usually ran in pairs, top-and-tailing ballast hopper trains across […]

We have received some sample images and video of our first Tara Mines sample from our factory in China. We think it looks pretty special so far but they will get a more forensic examination when they arrive in Dublin in the coming days. Check out below. WARNING! The underskirt pics are very x-rated! Please […]

The wait is finally over. March 3rd has arrived, and we can now reveal the most ambitious range ever announced by Irish Railway Models.

Having been announced just over seven weeks previously, our production run of CIÉ/Irish Rail orange ‘bubble’ cement wagons arrived at our premises in Dublin from our factory in China on December 19th – just in time for delivery to customers before the Christmas break!

The balance of our ivory bubble order has arrived from China! We have been working hard all day doing QC checks and we’ve even managed to get some orders packed and sent out this evening! We will be doing the same over the next few days. It should take about a week to check […]

Irish Railway Models today announces that it will release its highly detailed cement bubble wagon in the iconic CIÉ orange and grey livery in time for Christmas 2017. The announcement was made at the beginning of the South Dublin Model Railway Show at Blackrock, Dublin and is the fourth project that Irish Railway Models has […]

Sick of receiving non-railway gifts for Christmas? Finding it difficult to explain the differences between gauge and Irish outline models to loved ones who ask you for gift suggestions? Would you like a way to start a savings scheme, so you can buy the best Irish outline ready-to-run wagons on the market? What you need […]

As you may already know, we made big changes to our cement bubble wagon after reviewing the first tooling sample we received. We were unsatisfied with the level of detail and fidelity of the preproduction model delivered by our previous agent and decided to go back to the drawing board. This caused a delay […]

We are delighted to announce that production of our cement bubbles is now underway at our factory in China ahead of a late October 2017 release following a significant tooling upgrade.

While our ballast wagons have been hogging most of the limelight in recent weeks, we have been working away on the cement bubbles in the background. We have just finished specifying the livery graphic details for our factory in China which you can see below.
