  6. 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.
  7. Try retirement lads Every day is a bleedin Holiday:dancing:
  8. 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
  9. 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?

  13. . MM has done nothing about it nor does it intend to by the looks of it. There is no one more upset about these coaches than Paddy Murphy All the good & hard work he has done over the last 15 years is at stake here He has made contact with the manufacturers and is trying to address the problems Its not like you can hop on the DART and drop over to them These things take time and hopefully we should hear some news shortly
  14. Broite Class pic, haven't seen another one like it Sweet
  15. Just had a text from another member of the site He said " Tell him to have a shower while he's away" Does this make sense to anyone? Left me cold
  16. Only one Innishfree for me: I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made; Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a-glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet's wings. I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray, I hear it in the deep heart's core. Some years ago a wag applied for planning permission in the Sligo Champion to build a small cabin and some hives for his honey bees I cut it out but God knows where I put it
  17. Looking for my slide rule JB, Guinness was 3/1d when I was a young drinker
