Murphy Models 071 - New, detailed pre-production photos added!

[Eiretrains]

Seriously tempted to get 113 but apart from the Enterprise, has this been used on any other services with Irish Rail?

In the early 2000s (2003 or so) it worked a Tullamore cement, and a trip working in the Dublin area, so it wouldn't be totally out of place on IE metals.

Also worked 1825 Waterford one Friday night and next morning beet Waterford limerick juction @ 2003.

After reading the above posts I was pretty sure I had seen photos of its time on IE in 2003 so after a bit of searching I found them. Here are the links:

Like the last photo of 113 with the beet beside 112 at Limerick Junction

[iarnrod]

Thanks for the photos lads. Guess 8113 is going on the 'To Order' list so.....

 

Love the shot alongside 112 at Limerick Junction.

Going to have to get 8113 - always had a soft spot for the look of the larger yellow panel compared to the other two

[RedRich]

That's a very welcome and appreciated surprise. I'll have to invest in 8113, I love the NIR dark blue livery on these models and the prototype. Well done to all concerned.

 

Rich,

[Sentinel281]

The pre production samples already look great. Does anyone know when the livery changed from light blue to darker blue and when the 8 was added?

 

Gerhard.

[217 RIVER FLESK]

No idea when the colour changed Gerhard or come to that the exact date that the '8' was added, but for what it's worth in June 1998 she was still 113, but by March 2003 she was 8113.

 

 

Cheers, Mike C

113 received the darker blue livery in June/July 1989 and received the 8 prefix in April 1999

[Kirley]

Were not all 3 NIR Class 111’s used on the Enterprise Service until they were replaced in 1995 with the arrival of the 208 Class?

[Sentinel281]

Thanks for the information concerning liveries, that helps making decisions...

[Blu Bianco]

Heard from 2 different sources that there is another 071 surprise:p.

 

Was it made known if and when there was to be any official announcement of this other 071 surprise?

[WRENNEIRE]

I better start looking for some overtime so.

 

I thought 077 was subject to change due to the "late addition".

Train Man, I know its not really anything to do with you, but would you have an idea roughly when the Belfast model shop would be getting their stock of the new models?
