Heres hoping 

Early sets had set numbers in the bowling ball marker style as shown in photo.

Hi Ian, PM sent.

Murphaph and  DJ Dangerous are both correct in that l intend to buy quite a few wagons so if I cant get hold of any A - E sets then I will just have to buy multiple sets of F - H and do some renumbering as suggested.

Just wondering if anybody has any IRM Tara Mines wagons Sets A to E that would be willing to part with. Regretted not buying these when released so was going to buy some of the new sets (F-H) but don't want too many duplicates hence why I'm looking for sets A - E.

It's Carnalea on the Bangor line.

Did NIR ever lend a set of these to CIE/IR/IE? I believe they were lent on occasional bank holiday weekends where there was a bank holiday in the south but maybe not in the north but were they ever lent for longer periods?

Open for correction here but I think I remember reading after the DeDietrich stock entered service a set was borrowed by IE for a year or so but was only used once. Think they sat at Heuston sidings during most of this time.

Hey, how do you go about getting spare parts for these? Ive noticed on 4 i have received the front vacuum hose is broken off, thanks for your help

Yeah 4 of the 6 I have received so far have broken vacuum hoses. Are these actually available yet as spare parts and if so, has anyone received and fitted any?   

All sold

I would be willing to split these and sell 4 coaches for £40 + postage.

For sale is eight lima mk2 coaches that I had planned to convert to NIR Gatwick coaches many years ago hence why one of toilet windows in each coach was partially filled with card,  window frame filed down and was awaiting filling to smooth it flush but never got round to it.

SOLD

Stunning. Was only going to have a rake of 10 but might have to get a couple extra just to have sitting in the yard.

No point using 112's given they have the later 00's style headlights and the IE windows. Best option is 111, 8113 or 080,073 or 086 and some paint

Looking 112 models so to do 111 and 113 in their current form with LED marker lights as well.

Hi, I'm looking to get some more MM NIR 112 & 8113s. Would prefer to swap but would be willing to buy them as well.

The reason is I'm looking to model all 3 in the mid 90s era as well as the current look so need a few to modify lightly. If they prove too hard to source then I will likely just end up getting some 071s and respraying them but will see how it goes.

Heres a list of what I would be willing to swap or part swap (all boxed and unused):

141

161sa

141 Preserved

071

082

201

210

222 or 229

208

Cravens

1515 CIE

1521 IE

1523 IE

1544 IE

1529 IE

Mk2a

4110 IE

4101 IR

Looks alright so far. I will reserve judgement until its fully finished. I hope all the enterprise locos will get this livery this time or else there will be 5 different loco liveries on the enterprise.

Anyone know when 8111 was fitted with the LED light clusters like 112.

 

TIA,

 

Rich,

I'm not sure when it got the LED clusters but did find some photos of it on flickr, taken on the 26th July 2014.

Might be easier to renumber and partial respray the yellow end on 8113 and renumber to 111? If you find it a daunting task I'm sure one of the lads offering their services on here could do it for you?

I will probably end up doing that as knew there wont be that many people having a spare 112 shell to swap but I will give it a while longer and see if anything comes up.

Is there a reason you don't just buy 112? I think there may be one or two about, although hard to get, and 8113 is still sought after … recent thread about obtaining these for an other on the forum

Yeah, the reason is I want to produce 111 and I thought using the upper shell of 112 on top of a 8113 base would be best way to do it.

So did y'all swap or wot?

There was no swap as I forgot to specify that it was only the upper body shell I am looking for i.e. cab to cab.

So if anybody would be willing to swap the upper body shell of 112 for my 8113 shell please let me know!

Looking for a Murphy Models NIR 112 body shell only if anyone has one spare. Must be in as new condition.

Would be willing to purchase it on its own or swap it for a NIR 8113 body shell.

Great pictures. Takes me back to my youth seeing the Suburban livery and Intercity liveries. Looking forward to viewing more!

If you want to travel on the whole network (that's including trains and buses) then you will have to get a zone 4 iLink card. I think it costs £15.50 for a days travel plus I think if you buy it online you waive the £1 card fee.

If you want to travel the network on a Sunday you can get a 'day tracker' ticket for £7.00 (Trains only)

My vote is for the Cement bubbles. As a future idea, possibly the current NIR Ballast Hoppers would be nice

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.

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