Good Day,

The question I would like to ask "Is there a sit down dedicated dining car on any of the railway routes today". I remembered way back (when Adam was a boy) one could get breakfast on the Dublin to Cork line early in the morning, served with silver cutlery and the food was excellent.

Regards

I used to travel once a month from Limerick Junction to Dublin during 1978/79. During that time breakdowns and delays were not uncommon. I noticed that there was always an engine standing on the siding at Limerick Junction ticking over and wondered why so!!. Well on one dark wet evening I plucked up the courage to ask one of the staff why. The response was very reassuring. He said that "It was the backup engine in case any of the Dublin Cork trains broke down". I replied "O that is a good idea, but why is the engine running all the time?" He said " If it stopped we would never get it started again".

This question was probably asked before and answers given but what is the best sound chip for a 141 that is available today?

This is my story on postage from England. Price of product £4.20. Postage £12. Irish Customs value €19.30. VAT €4.43. Admin Fee €3.50 Total paid on Irish transaction €7.93. Total €27.34. Great value!!!!!!. 

It looks like it is a NEM socket. Remove the coupling by pinching the 2 lugs that protrude out the back of the socket and pulling out the coupling at the same time.  

Thanks for the info on the lights gents but when did it switch over to the 2 lights?

Sorry if this subject has already been covered but what indicator lights were fitted to the rear of early/modern CIE trains?

That is great to hear we will be in contact. Re the Keg Liners, so you are not producing a second run? as was stated to him.

That's sad. However looking for a full buffer beam for a Class 201. I wonder if there is anyone out there who might have broken/damaged Murphy models who might sell them?

Plus the Guinness Keg liners. You are missing the point We have no issue with waiting for the products but having monies tied up until they arrive prevents us from purchasing more items.   

Wondering where one can get parts for Murphy Models products?

I agree with all of the comments to date and the model will be worth while waiting for it. However I and a friend of mine have quite a bit of cash purchasing items from the boys which are not yet delivered. This has tied up purchasing other products from them as being exposed financially to one company has risks attached to it. Having to pay in full for items before they are manufactured (while I understand why) is not good business practice. Not for the customer. 

Return it to DC mode and see if it works. 

Looking for a Murphy Models MM0182-U Irish Class 141/181 diesel 182 in 2nd CIE black & orange livery, lightly weathered if possible. A client sent this engine and a Hornby railroad Class 21 by post (not registered) to me but the engines were missing. Box was re taped at one end. If anyone is offered these for sale let me know.  

A meeting will take place on Saturday the 5th of March 2016, in Horkans Garden Centre, Knockanour, Castlebar, Co Mayo, in The Bay Leaf Café at 11.00 AM. (Sat nave coordinates N53* 53.229' and W009* 11.854')Look for the table with trains!!! No Whingers. If for whatever reason you cannot make the meeting but would be interested in getting involved PM me.

Model Railway Club

Spoke to the man in person, no joy.

Looking for a Lima Class 20. What I am realy after is the chassis of one. Thanks.

Brendan Curran "Train Repairs" will have a stand there.

Just a note to let people know that a small railway exhibition will take place in Dungarvan Co Waterford on the 24th and 25th of November. The end of this month. I am aware that other events are clashing with this and the short notice given will not help.

This event is a being held in Coole Country Cottage’s, Dungarvan, Co Waterford, 11 am to 5 pm both days. The cottage’s are behind Radley Engineering on the N72. (Follow the signs for Coole Cotages) Titled “An exhibit of Model Railways and Dungarvan Historic Railway”. Saturday and Sunday. All done in a Christmas atmosphere beside a log fire. Tea/coffee available.

The purpose of this is to highlight the traditional Irish cottage’s, Dungarvan Historic Railway (Dukes Line) and to try and expand the art of railway modelling. The layouts are distributed through the cottages.

There are 4 HO/OO layouts and 1 N scale. There is also a very special G scale train (Digital with sound).

I had to send £12 via a sterling draft about 3 weeks ago and it cost me €19. Also a sound decoder that I got today that cost £120 I expect will cost my around €160 using my credit card. The euro has fallen trough the floor plus the various charges that the bank charge you whatever way you pay for it.

The Midlands Model Railway Club will be hosting a Model Railway and Diecast fair on the 16/09/2012. It will open at 10 am and conclude at 5 pm. Further information will be confirmed at a later stage.
