Do not forget tiny bus models have also used a cad print to create a master to do a resin run which has been very successful with 2 Irish buses already released and 3 more to come this year using this technique

RPSI B134 UPDATE - MURPHY MODEL'S It is with great pleasure that the RPSI can officially announce production in model form our 121 class locomotive B134. The locomotive will be released in the grey/yellow original livery and in the condition it will emerge from overhaul in Inchicore Works. It will be packed in a specially branded box with the RPSI crest. The production of this model has been made possible through the generosity of Paddy Murphy of Murphy Models. Paddy has given the society the opportunity to raise much needed funds and produce this model by giving over some of his production run to facilitate our locomotive. With the suspension of our normal operations, this model will be a much needed vital stream of income this year to the society. This production run will be a one off and when they are gone they are gone. There will be just 300 of these models produced which will be the smallest number of the forthcoming 121 model to be released by Murphy Models. The locomotives will be a great addition to layouts and also to accompany the recently produced cravens coaches in RPSI livery. The level of detail on these models sets a new level for Irish modelling and with just 300 produced these models are set to be highly collectable and sought after. The models are currently in pre production stage and it is expected that a sample will be sent over within a month. Once the model is approved the full production run will follow soon after. The RPSI is currently setting up a system to process orders via credit card and for people to have the ability to order securely online. Once we have this in place, the order details and order form will be available. The price of the models will be €189.99/£165.00 each. Posatge will be €10 (ROI), £10 (UK/N.Ireland), €15.50 (Europe/Rest of World). Please support the society by purchasing one of these limited models and at the same time adding a very special locomotive to your collection.

could you imagine explaining to cab that the wife didnt know the true value and not to tell her

thanks for that update i assume the unloaded flats are new numbers they keep saying no to that one as theres 2 different mk1 gsv types

with all the covid restrictions impacting on our many favourite things i wonder will the October model show happen this year

not forgetting the a class just there are 2 more to come from 42 will they be before or after the a class

now that most of project 42 is done with only the weedsprayer and spoils to go which we assume cant be too far away now . Will IRM be doing other freight lines or concentrating on passenger stock next. 2020 has been an interesting year but i guess irm will make 2021 even better and without a lockdown hopefully

looking at the list b131 in black tan has no handrails while 126 does have them

plus another benefit of both irm and marks is that we can pay over a reasonable time in installments which allows some to budget better.

yep he commented about that at the rpsi stand at blackrock on one of our posters

one park royal was paint and buffer damaged as well i was going to 100 max for the 2 park royals but that was it bad part on these is post and customs often costs more than the item

prices were not bad for something that doesent pop up often

my top 5 was a hard choice 1 j15 class my first memory of steam 2 071 class have pulled everything 3 121 class first locos i had cab rides in as a child 4 a class i remember them everywhere 5 the ncc jeep most useful engine in ireland can even work in the snow when others cant

are irm going to keep expanding and do other ranges that are available from other manufacturers of irish items

that is a real shame as said before we need more early stuff as current is now flooded with choice

now to work out how to get a driver and 20 spotters into that cab

i wonder will we either see a rerun of these or else will irm do a proper irish version

i know 2 sold recently but dont know the price

finally

goes to show how good the kit is now could you imagine a rtr version

those sets were never cheap in the first place

did you ever build it and did they do anything else

ill take them i have other parts that will do them
