      I agree that etched kits always look a lot better for coach/railcar sides. A hybrid etched/3D printed kit would be my preference too.   Not sure what you want to do with the roof? The front section above the cab would need to be 3D printed. The rest could be brass but it might be tricky to get the curve to match up perfectly. We could also print it and get the curve exactly the same, but that would probably have to be printed in a few sections giving a few more joins to clean up.

      I'd get on board that train. 071 hauled Mk3s = peak nostalgia for me.  I'd probably end up buying a few 071s if they're re-realised. I have only one 071, and its not in one of my preferred IR/IE tippex liveries but I got it for a good(ish) price before the second hand prices went completely mad. However, given that there's still plenty of the new batch of 141/181s available I wonder if the market for re-runs of Irish locos is a bit soft at the moment?

      That last vid looks like it is the real thing! Maybe its the 'low' quality that makes it look like an old cine recording, captured from the road below

      I think demand is small, but supply is smaller still. And there can’t be many willing to pay that much.    Having come late to the Murphy/IRM party, over the space of a couple of years I’ve been able to buy almost all the models I wanted at reasonably sensible prices. Patience and vigilance were needed.    I think a re-release of 071s would only sell well if accompanied by something new for them to haul - proper Irish Mk3s being the obvious option.
