Bachmann crane behind. Kernow models are now selling them for under £100

They look great. Pity about the error in the details. The maker lights are completely wrong for the IR versions. The head lamp boxes were white and not silver. 133 was supposed to have dayglow. 127SA is not in the correct place on the sides. I suppose beggars can't choose. Credit where it is due to Mr Murphy for great models regardless.

Hello Everyone This is my first post on here. I am a big fan of the railways and delighted to see all the interest been put into the Irish models. Most of the models to date have been brilliant and all the models from IRM have been Fantastic. (Take a bow lads). However I am very disappointed with the latest mk2 from Murphy Models. The look great but are of very poor build. They are no comparison to the Cravens or Bachmann mk2. The tension lock coupling cannot be removed unless it is cut off from the back. The slightest movement and the sprocket come out causing derailment. The wheels are of very poor quality. The electrical boxes on the underframe are falling off. I sent back a coach after 2 of the ribs on the roof were broken off in the box. I go as far as to compare them to coaches that were giving out free in a magazine publication a couple of years ago. The lower orange part is painted to high (too close to the windows). After the fiasco of the first batch of Super train coaches with the black showing through the orange I thought the quality control dept would make an effort. The price of them are close to €60 and for that you would expect a quality product. I am disappointed to say these are not a quality product. Any feed back from other modellers would be welcome.
