Latest project saw no.156 receive the weathering treatment. 

Are the two levels connected by a helix or ran separately? 

Brilliant scene 

And too you. 

Another brilliant video 

I guess i may continue with trial and error. 

Are they in ireland or the uk? Cause ive a feeling the uk option would add to the expense 

Expensive? 

Is there anyone providing a respray service? 

Ive a rake of mark fours that i cant colour match at all to the original enterprise livery. 

Thanks in advance 

Some new additions were got

The lights on the HOBS are a great detail. Looks very impressive. 

Maybe a stupid question but do you have to book in or will there be a limited number at any one time? 

What a line up.

It probably would have taken a few years to re-brand everything, anyhow.

A valid point 

I remember the folks taking me on it when it first entered service so that original livery I've a soft spot for

Ah, sure mixing them like that just makes it even more authentic.

A few CIE's mixed in with the IR's for the late eighties or early nineties, and a few IR's mixed in with the IE's for the early IE era.

Exactly what i was thinking, like a few missed being rebranded. 

You hit the nail on the head J. I was aware of that and went back to check to make sure i had sent it to the correct one which i unfortunately i had not. Thank you for the reply. 

When i received mine one of the handrails had popped out but was an easily put back in place. I think the packaging of the 121 by murphy models is a great improvement when compared to the 201 or 071s but like has been mentioned already the packaging for shipping could be better. 

Thanks I'll try again 

Are they still trading? I emailed about getting transfers and a few other items and as i haven't received a reply I'm wondering have they been hit by the pandemic? 

Missed getting the ir bundle unfortunately. Got the ie bundle and might get a packed of the ir wagons on theyre own to mix in between the ie ones

It's not always easy to tone down bright colours when weathering, without it looking like you've gone too far. No worries on that front with these. That's a lovely job. 

Thank you very much. Much appreciated. 

Next on the weathering bench is the guinness wagons. Kept it simple by dulling down the paintwork on the cages, frame and bogies with a coat of frame dirt along the bottom to finish. Hope you enjoy. 

And since i have a new addition in a class 121 seemed fitting for it to take them for a spin

Yes the 121's were often double-headed, due to them not having a cab at each end it made sense to pair them. they also double-headed with 141's and 181's all the time.

Thank you. I have to admit i wasn't interested in getting but now I'm glad I did. Stunning model. 

Were they paired by number or was it a case of what was available? 

Did the 121s run double headed together or was it just with the 141s 181s?

The orange seems very bright compared to the 201 or 071 one i have.
