I thought you were deaf?

Its DC Broite They are waiting on a DCC chip from the Model Shop, Belfast

I bet you it was that Connery fella disobeying orders again in his Red October yoke

If there was not a financial benefit from models where would the hobby be? Does Paddy Murphy do it for fun or because he feels sorry for those of us who cannot build or paint Irish models? I dont think so Having spent a long time on the selling side of the table and listening to different modellers requests I find it upsetting when I hear the guff from some modellers The items are for sale on the table I dont make them, so dont blame me You buy them if you wish Otherwise go somewhere else,. I dont need to know that you think a door handle is facing the wrong direction or that a buffer is 4 mm off And dont talk to me about paint colour, I had 3 guys in Bangor arguing over the colour of a Hunslett Its up to the buyer if he likes the model or not, and they are only models I am a firm believer in the 2 foot rule, if it looks good enough from 2 foot its good enough for me I also find that the faster you run the model the harder it is to see the finer detail.......

Jasus, would you look at who came in from the cold Must have finished all your VW's man?

Liveries still has to be tweeked Any comments would be greatly appreciated but please read the post above before you sharpen your knives

Remember its only a hobby, girls Whatever floats your boat The Railway Police will not knock on your door and point out as they are dragging you away in handcuffs that "that loco never ran in that livery etc" Hopefully John in Silverfox will take the more poignant points and use them to improve the model I personally would love to see the battery boxes in the correct positions

Both kits JhB The Faller one is .9 of a meter and the Kibri is only a tad smaller

Bray Wheelers Watch the "Whats On " thread

Word on the street men This model is a RTR repaint of a Bachmann 08. Its not supposed to be an exact replica but rather a nice representation in the absence of a high-dollar high-quality prototype.

Any use?

Just heading up to Bangor with all the Chris Dyer stock Be sure to drop by and say hello!

Cant help with the MM0121 or MM0124 but I have a couple of MMOA39 and MMO36 if they are of any interest?

Sorry for your troubles Blarney Reverse your role here and put your Butler, Gardener, Chauffeur in a frock and Voila, Granny Bracken God bless her curly hair Pity about her big fat arse but hey, beggers and all that

I find the last sentence in this post a terrible slight on Murphy and I would ask you to withdraw it. Remember he is dealing with people thousands of miles away When the original Lima models were produced for him he was taking their advice on what he should produce Take for example the L105100X33 Set, the very first pic on this thread, Cl 33/A Class with a Mk 2 & Mk 3 coach Anyone with a good knowledge of loco and coach running would never have put these 3 items together This was the package that was sold to him and he went for it As a result of this he then commissioned the 201 as the first truly Irish RTR model loco. The mistake with the 7411 was caused in the Lima factory, not by Murphy 7411 in standard form was never catalogued. He would have had to open each pack and check for it Again the new coach's were painted in China, not D4 He placed an order for these coaches, approved the pre production samples but what arrived was not what was ordered He is still in discussion with the factory and he is not a very happy bunny over their handling of the issue He feels his reputation has been tarnished by their bad work, not his, and this whole event may place the 121 project in jeprody Unfortunately unlike a lot of the keyboard assassins here he is only human.

Try retirement lads Every day is a bleedin Holiday:dancing:

I was talking to a few forum members about the Lima/Murphy Models Mark 3's I mentioned a standard with a 74xx prefix that I had seen One of the lads remembered it but the others were not aware of its existence Anyone have one of these in a set? My one is a loose one that I picked up back in the day, it does not seem to have been catalogued by Murphy Models

I picked a similar one recently in Brass, 009 gauge I will stick up a pic when I find it I thought a bridge was a bridge, why would there be a need for an 009 one?
