These looks brilliant Paul and the detail on them is something else! I’m craving a Guinness now...
I think we all are Lewis. 😆 Paul
What a great set of wagons Paul. I bet you are really chuffed with these. They are a great addition to Galgorm Hall. Thank you for sharing.
Regards
Geoff
I love them Geoff, exceptional looking wagons and glad I plunged in for the full rake. Paul
Indeed a beautiful wagon Paul which has captured a piece of Irish Railway history by their quality finish. Best, Mike
Thanks for commenting Mike. Paul
The loco looks and sounds brilliant but those wagons are magnificent.
👍👍👍
Couldn’t agree with you more. Paul
Hi Paul. Very very nice. I can tell you are happy with the wagons.
Delighted with them Terry. Paul
These are beautiful models Paul, love the kegs. That was some impressive slow-speed running of the loco too; combined with the sound, the coupling procedure looked absolutely flawless.👍👌😁
Thank you, they are really nice although I have found the occasional issue with uncoupling. This will get rectified when I replace the tension lock couplings for Kadees. Paul
I’ve been looking forward to this video.
They really are superb looking wagons! The detail is amazing and, I would never have expected rotating axel boxes too. Brilliant stuff!
Thanks Bob, I’m over the moon with you them. Paul
Really interesting rail car!!
Thanks for watching. Paul
The detail is excellent on those wagons.
🚂🚃🚃🚃
Aren’t they amazing? Thanks for watching. Paul
That looks sweet, very nice purchase Paul.
Regards Chris
Thanks Chris, they are amazing. Paul
That's left me thirsty. The only criticism I might have is the wide spacing between the wagons when coupled. Kadee couplers would fix that. A train to be proud of Paul, well done. David.
I do agree David. I’ve yet to try the fixed rake coupling bars which may improve things. If not, I’ll go full Kadee on them for sure. Paul
Had to order from Marks in Dublin as Accura are sold out. Wanted a pack ever since this review, now it's on it's way. ATB, Andy.
You won’t be disappointed in it Andy. Glad my video helped in your decision. Paul
¡Hola buenos días Paul! Seeing you appear through the loft hatch, the smile and, the glint in your eyes, you’d have thought it was Christmas come early! However, that initial presentation was wholly justified as that rake of wagons was beyond impressive. Irish Models have certainly pulled the stops out with this one. I pity the poor guys in your goods yard, they’ll have to get their boss to invest in a suitable cage handling unit. Well done on your purchase Paul. Un saludo. Gary
It’s always Christmas time on Galgorm Hall. 😂 Paul
Galgorm Hall. Bit like summer here! 😝
these look brilliant! tempted to add irish trains to my fleet now lol, i thin the orange and black livery on the locos is really smart and the wagons are quite interesting especially beer ones...
And why not indeed, the Irish locos have a very striking livery and as you say the wagon stock is quite something too. Paul
Those wagons look amazing, such detail, irish railway models have outdone themselves there by far.
Really want a Guinness now.
Alex.
You and me both Alex, your round I believe. 😆 Paul
@@GalgormHall it's always my damn round
Came across this company as acurascale but had heard of the Irish version whilst looking for mk5 sleeper coaches . Impressive wagons makes me want these despite the premium cost but makes me excited about anticipated mk5 coaches . This makes me want an Irish railway loco set up now , ahhhhhh dilemmas
Rule one Nigel, rule one. There’s some great product out there in the Irish scene, I only wish I’d taken the plunge with some of their earlier releases. Paul
What a lovely addition to stock Paul, no wonder you are happy, they look great chum. Best wishes
Paul at Sandling Junction
Cheers mate, they are stunning. Paul
Very impressive, Paul. They are quite detailed and look fab running as a rake! Cheers.
Thanks Anthony, I’m delighted with them. Paul
Great review Paul!! Stunning wagons! Cheers Onno.
Superb models Onno, I really do love them. Paul
Beautiful wagons, just purchased the weed sprayer set 👍
They are a stunning model Ciaron. Hopefully I’ll be picking up a weed sprayer set at some point next year too. 🤞🏻 Paul
@@GalgormHall you wont be disappointed there lovely, was looking for barrel wagons all sold out at the moment 😭
What a fantastic model Paul, got Accurascale quality written all over it. That should keep the punters at Galgorm Hall happy for a couple of days, shame you did not get a full sized keg with them as well! Cheers Steve
I’ll have to settle for the tinnies in the fridge. 😆 Paul
looking good paul the detail is good on the the look good on your layout keep up the good work like wot you do on you channel keep up the good work on the layout thank you from lee
Thank you so much. Paul
Hi Paul, Great looking wagons and kegs, will have to look into getting some of these, Cheers Kevin (FYI noticed your loco has a buffer missing)
Thank you Kevin, you’ll have to be quick as these are selling out fast. The last I heard they only had a few packs of C and D left. The buffer I’m aware of and trying to source a replacement. Paul
@@GalgormHall Afraid Im already too late they have sold out, what a bummer, would be good if they made some more with them selling out so fast for us unfortunate many who failed to purchase these wonderful wagons.
Lovely wagons Paul, they will add a whole new dimension to your layout. One thought you were saying about couplings, have you seen Graham at lakeside he's reviewed some new Hunts couplings that it doesn't matter which way around you have your wagons. Stay safe your trains look fantastic Eddy xx
Thanks Eddy. I plan to convert to Kadee for hands free uncoupling should I wish. Paul
I can see why you treated yourself - fantastic detail from top to tail. Cheers
Can’t agree more Davie. Thanks for watching. Paul
Nice detailing. Looks like that was a delivery just for Ballymena that should last for at least a week lol.
A week Andrew? No chance. 😆 Paul
Hi Paul, very nice rake of keg wagons, the suite your layout and fit in nicely. i wonder do they come in Newcastle brown ale...take have a great weekend....Tony
Thanks Tony, a rake of Newcie Browns would look good eh? Paul
@@GalgormHall they would but the kegs would always be emptys.........take care Tony
The first view of the Guinness train passing through your “snow” covered landscape made me think you have created an Irish version of the famous Coca Cola Christmas adverts with the red trucks in the snow! Worth a screen shot for your custom Christmas cards this year!!!!!
Christmas cards? Bah! Humbug. 😂 Paul
Galgorm Hall man after my own 💔
My first thought was that they looked a bit "basic" being all the one colour including the bogies, but then when the kegs were loaded and the train run that was something else. I'm sure with a little light weathering to take off that fresh out of the paint shop look they will look even better. I wouldn't do anything about the squeaky wheels, it adds realism, especially as DCC sound is now all the thing :)
It’s one of the quirks of Irish wagon stock, the majority are either finished in that red oxide colour or grey. All the colour flare was kept for their locos and coaches. Some day I’ll pluck up the courage to weather them down slightly but on such expensive models I’m in no hurry. 😆 Paul
@@GalgormHall I wouldn't say they were expensive. 8 wagons for 370 euro, that's 46 euro (£41) a wagon, which given the detail on the casks, and the flexibility of running the wagon un-loaded, loaded with empty crates or full crates with casks I think is good value for money. Hattons FEA-S intermodal wagons are £32 each and that is without any loads.
Oh no 😱 those magic painting fingers will be shaking all over the place after drinking all that Guinness 🍺🍺🍺 😂😂😂 Congratulations on the new additions, may they enjoy many hours dispensing joy to the province 😁 Very best wishes from County Wicklow ☘️ Still think you should be supporting Antrim Gold though 🥃 #Bushmills 😂😂😂😂
If IRM ever do a Bushmills take be sure they’ll appear on the layout. 😆 Paul
Hi Paul- They look great wagons and I really like how you can remove the cages and or the loads which make them very versatile . I am a great fan of the Accurascale models having bought a few different ones and they have loads of detail with a price that's on par with Bachmann and Hornby . I chatted to Fran from Accurascale at GETS in October and was impressed with what he had to say so I have pre ordered a Class 37...…...……...Cheers Kev
Hey Kev, I’ve a 37 pre ordered too. What one did you go for? I’ve the full sound fitted two tone green on order. 😬 Paul
I went sound too on a BR Blue older livery 👍🏾
Nice video
Thank you. Paul
The red wheel on the sides is more the likely the handbrake. Lovely wagons I have to say
Darren
Thanks for the confirmation Darren, I now believe that to be the case too. Paul
Great video Paul I just had to get some of these wagons so have just ordered 3 packs. You mentioned squeaky wheels and as did another subscriber, have you cured the squeak and if so what did you use?. The covers on the axles (the ones that rotate with wheels when moving) have you had any coming off? I presume they just push back onto the axle if they do come off. My canisters on the wagon will be filled with Newcastle Brown Ale so that must be a clue as to where I come from. Keep producing your excellent videos I really enjoy watching them, Bill.
Hi Bill, you really won’t be disappointed with them whether hauling a pint of the black stuff or a few Newcie Browns. I haven’t addressed the wheel squeak yet, to be honest I haven’t run them since recording the video. Therefore I also haven’t had any issues with the axle boxes popping off so no need to replace anything as yet. Like you I’d assume they just pop on and with 16 spares per pack you should be ok for a while on replacements. Thanks for the kind words on the channel. Paul
Fantastic looking models, but I expect that from the guys at IRM/Accurascale really.
They really super. Paul
Hi Paul another great video mate I have how got the dapol semaphore signals working on my model of stranraer harbour station that last they want Operational on
Wednesday I hope to send you photos of nir buffet coach and BR RSS buffet coach every some I had a setback this week with them but all is good now mate stay safe and well Paul clive
Thanks Clive, looking forward to seeing the photos. Paul
Squeek is a bit annoying, this on my rake too. the couplings seem to sit at and angle when running with odd hooks disengaging
but otherwise excellent wagon. Dunno if I would oil them maybe graphite powder or such.
Interesting you have the squeak too Mandy. I’ve had no issues with couplings disengaging though albeit ill be converting to Kadees anyway. Paul
Missing a buffer on 085
Yeah I know Ian, trying to source a replacement for it. Paul
This question applies for both the Class 071 and the Keg wagons; is it possible to convert these models to the 4mm equivalent of the 5ft 3in Irish Gauge.
It is, both can be converted to 21mm gauge!
I’m glad someone was able to answer you as I hadn’t a clue. 😆 Paul
Thank you for the answer.
Amazing models mate but the Guinness did me no favours lol thankyou
It had that effect on everyone I think Mark. 😆 Paul
