  1. As far as I know 106 failed either later that day or the following day following the IRRS trip. It could be that 103 was still operable having pulled weed spray trains?
  2. JB, I thought the image was from the RCTS photographic archive but cannot find it. It is most likely a Colour-rail slide.
  3. Would be brilliant if IRM could add tbis very special locomotive to their 'to do' list. Is there any chance it may happen? PS Thank you IRM for the Christmas card. Very nice touch at the end of a very challenging year.
  4. On closer examination though, the apparature on the engine bonnet roof of 126 & 132 is of the late 1980s (CAWS) so these would have to be amended as well. Look, these are minor details of interest to only a small few. Excellent, excellent model and will be really delighted to have them.
  5. Hi, how do you safely remove the running numbers before applying Railtecs? It seems like a very good solution. Just nervous re paint scheme.
  6. The air brake stenciling on the cab and the 's' after the locomotive running number (126s & 131s) were features well into the last couple of years of Supertrain livery ( which had been introduced in the early 1970s). On the up-side, if you are a little younger than me and your era is Irish Rail, you could incorporate these into your layout without looking out of step with the later tippex livery. This may have been the intention.
  7. The latest liveries look excellent and the detail is supurb again. With regard to the Supertrain versions I suppose I was expecting numbering detail from the early 70s - mid 80s rather than the late (late) 1980s so a bit sad in that respect. I am loath to attempt to change them ( removing 's' and stenciling) and risk damaging the paintwork. Do not want to take anything from what are SUPERB models though, it is just my era growing up.
  8. Hi, have any photos being released of the Supertrain versions? Love the 121s released to date. Excellent, thank you Mr. Murphy and cannot wait for the IRM A Class ( hopefully followed by B101 Sulzers, C Class and E Class Shunters).
  9. I've noticed MM B121 comes without lamp irons on either buffer beam. They were on the locomotives from the start. Is it just an oversight on the ( excellent) model?
  10. I dod vote for grey as i only was permitted one choice but would also definately have purchased further orange under different serial numbers ( i already have 3 of E and 3 of F). A batch of 250 of each might keep everyone happy and enhance what modellers may already have. I know a further run of the Irish cement logo bubbles will sell as there was huge demand for what at the time was a limited release and more ivories in CIE would always be welcome seeing how long they remained in that livery, many until their end of day.
  11. Would it be possible to do a batch of three for each of the four categories, i would like some more orange with different numbers but would like to add 3 grey as an example of original livery.
  12. All possible votes to IRM, hope you sweep the board. Well done.
  13. Congratulations on the sell out and i hope it helps give a picture of the numbers interested and demand there is for CIE rolling stock 1960s/70s. Bring on the greys...
