I propose to post pictures of all the models produced by Murphy Models in sequence from their days with LIMA to the current models produced by Murphy Models
Lima produced models of British outline stock
These were then offered to Lima agent in Dublin, Lexie Keady
He then accepted or refused the sets and the accepted ones went on general release here
Towards the end of the 90's Keady retired from the trade and Murphy Models began a relationship with LIMA that saw them produce some of the first authentic Irish railway models
This is their first attempt , set # L105100X33 released in 1997, possibly as few as 300 made.
It was released in the Lima Hobby Range line.
It was classed as a starter set,
It consists of a Cl33 repainted as an A Class # 015 This model had been produced by LIMA for Tynan and was accepted as an Irish loco at the time, the Tynan model was numbered 215.
Coaching stock consisted of a Mk 2D #5228 and a Mk 3 Restaurant # 7115
It also came with a traffo and track.
300 Sets believed to have been produced
