WW1 part 2 was always going to mean that materials to expand or at least keep that going were to be in short supply. -
I think this would have been a non runner considering this was in the middle of the 1930's Anglo-Irish Economic War. -

Though nothing to do with Irish Railways, saw this article in a recent Railway Magazine and thought of modellers of this parish and their splendid efforts at creating Irish models from various prototypes. Not sure why anyone would want to build a new Baby Deltic, because they weren't the most successful of the early diesels, but none got preserved, so I guess it was a case of why not? Chances are, it will be more successful than the originals too, comprises as it does the following: A Class 37 as the starting point [No 372, otherwise destined to be scrapped] A team at Barrow hill have shortened the chassis at the centre and also at each nose end Most of the body itself is new Bogies and traction motors come from a Class 20 The article doesn't say where the diesel power unit will come from Given that 20s and 37s have been some of the most reliable and long lived BR diesels, you'd think this new mongrel/hybrid ought to have a chance. For me though it surely represents a tribute to all those modellers over the years, who have managed to create a new loco, previously unavailable, from a range of odds and ends. Truth stranger than fiction? Quite possibly! -

Thanks Fran, Looking forward to getting then at some stage just taking an unexpected long time to arrive and I see other lads in EU land beginning to query this also with one on RMWEB putting the question out there so alarm bells are ringing. Might be an idea to inform the customers on RMWEB and eslewhere what is happening instead of lots of emails going into IRM/AS and answer each one. I know you like to keep the queries in house but quote a lot of peeps go to the forums for updates and AS are quick enough putting up news etc but the delay on this one is sadly lacking a bit with little or nothing. Good job I was not planning a box opening video, I would be somewhat behind the curve! George.
