I'm am totally delighted with the 4 A class loco's I purchased from you. I have not ran them yet as I don't have any track yet. The detail and finish is excellent. I'm have to commend you for your service and keeping the customer informed, especially with all the spam emails going around. I look forward to purchasing your future projects. Thank you for comment you have given. You's have made me and many others very happy.
Thank you

Exceptional Model

Not an Irish Railway modeller, but had to have one of these as representative of a special class of locomotive. So good I purchased A1 as well. Now to add sound which looks to be as easy as one could hope for with the removable roof panel.

FIRST CLASS,A CLASS

Model trains can be addictive and IRM can supply an A class drug that is entirely legal in the shape of the iconic A class locomotive!.
My locomotive was delivered safely in good order,well packed and with all fitted detail in good order,This is state of the art.Excellent performance ,well specified and some very thoughtful design.Check out the easy to access DCC socket ,Other manufacturers could learn a few lessons.It doesnt get any better than this.I am sky high with delight.Happy to recommend,Congratulations to all in IRM

What a lovely model

With the exception of the cab lighting (which I re wired, also changed the shunting lights) this is a simply superb model, highly recommended. Now bring on the C Class 😊
