Park Royal D.177 Snack Car No. 2425

The detailed snack-bar interior is what sets No. 2425 apart from a standard passenger coach. Flush glazing and built-in lighting help show it off, while switching the lights with the magnetic wand is a welcome practical touch. Fine separate handrails and detailed bogies complete an impressive model. A great way to add variety to an Irish passenger rake.

Beautiful model. Fantastic detail

The Park Royal D.177 Snack Car No. 2425 is, in itself, a beautifully produced and highly distinctive model. The black and orange livery is extremely well applied, the printed details are crisp, and the glazing and interior are particularly impressive. The roof, bogies and underframe are also finished to Accurascale’s usual high standard.
Unfortunately, my example arrived without several important pieces of its protective packaging. There was no black sponge above the model, no black foam on either side of the plastic coach housing, and none of the polystyrene protection supplied with the other coaches in the same order.
The incomplete packaging made this look very much like a customer return that had been placed back into stock without being properly checked or repackaged. Although I have not identified any obvious damage to the coach itself, this is simply not the condition in which an item sold as brand new should arrive.
It is a five-star model, but the apparent lack of inspection and quality control has seriously affected the overall purchase experience. It felt like a second hand product off eBay. Regrettably, I can therefore only award it two stars.

A NICE WELL DETAILED AND SMOOTH RUNNING COACH.

Been waiting for a long time for some CIE Coaches. I have a few of the Murphy Models but these are difficult to get, and only on the second-hand market.

These AccuraScale / IRM models have reinvigorated my collection and bring wonderful interior lighting to my miniature world.

Arrived well packed in a nice looking Box and the Model is just perfect.

Lovely detailed coach.

Excellent, well constructed, model that captures the look of the prototype. Essential for layouts set in the 1960s, 70s and early 80s.

As usual from AS / IRM, a great model

Highly recommended

Irish Railway Models never disappoint. Another fabulous model.

Absolutely amazing details

Full of great details

A really tasty snack. A gem. Great when running with a mixed rake of Cravens & other Pk Royals.
Well done to everyone @ IRM/Accurascale for providing us with this unique coach.

Now is the time to be thankful that IRM were able to bring this specialist snack car to market.I never thought I would see any Irish Rail coaches and now we have these classic Irish Park Royals to run along side the Craven's.Happy to recommend Afternoon Tea with IRM in the snack car.I hope IRM can make more coaches a viable proposition .

Kudos to IRM for making these unique coaches available to us

Excellent model which looks beautiful with the lights on in a darkened room.

Another top class model from IRM. Detail level second to none.
