WRENNEIRE

Hot off the press: From Murphy models He is showing pre-production samples of Class141/181 locos this week-end at the MRSI show. There will be 1 new fleet number in each of the four liveries (CIE, Supertrain, IR, IE) in both loco types. There will be a number of improvements, including the fitting of a speaker. He will forward photos of all versions next week. No guidance on price due to the volatility of currency markets. Also at the show he will have examples of the Mark2d coach in IR livery. As before, there will be 1st., standard, composite, restaurant and egv. Photos to follow. There will be a new bogie to conform with the prototype and will facilitate 21mm conversions.

Hope to have some 141 & 071 handrails at the show, fingers crossed

No, and a hard one to hardwire because of its split chassis The key to converting a split-chassis model to DCC is to isolate the chassis from the motor terminals. Split-chassis models rely on the motor terminals pressing against the chassis directly, to get power from the track, but DCC needs to intercept this connection and place the decoder between the pickups and the motor.

Should have some that might suit Are you travelling to the 3 day show in Raheny this weekend I will be there for the 3 days, I could give them to you then

Keeping a little corner in Bray for you Ken, hurry back I am running out of people to insult!

Rode a few wagons myself here Terry, mind yourself, had to take penicillin for a week after one of them

Where are you based man?

448? 201 - 234 I thought

Speaking with Chris Dyer this afternoon and he tells me he has most of the sold out A Classes and some IRM sold out wagons packed and ready for the show Also all the usual Irish outline stock that he carries and some restocked Silverfox items

Keep calm and carriage on, its a freight day for it

Was my pride and joy back in the day Wrenn did a selection of Banana vans, BR, NE, GW and also Private owner ones, Fyffes, Geest Tropical Fruit but possibly the rarest of them all was the Jaffa, records suggest there were less than 20 made

Seamus did not mention my name, did he?

Found these bits today while doing a bit of clearing out, Letter to C. Fry of W&R Jacob & Co Ltd, Bishop St. It came from a Mr C Dwyer of Harrington & Goodlass Wall Ltd of Nassau St, Paint manufacturers I believe It contained Frys list of required transfers and also some unused ones presumably from Nassau St? If they are of any use to the Museum I would be glad to donate them. Not sure about 2651 but 1442 was a Park Royal fitted with Storage Heaters for the Ballina Branch as there was no heating van on that route, an unusual coach.
