WRENNEIRE

No catering for the great unwashed, not sure if there is anything close to the venue that might suit?

Well wonder this Murphy Models has recommended a retail price of €189.95 or £167.50 for the 121's Several of the box shifters from Brexitland have advertised them at between £145 - £150, around €170 - €175 This is why model shops here are closing, The difference in the VAT rate and also the cost of running a shop here is vastly different from our Brexit friends Buying here means our shops can stay in business, so its up to you guys where you want to buy your models from Rant over

Excuse my bus ignorance people but we ever run Bedford OB's here? Picked up a couple and would love to have some on the layout If so an odd color pic would be highly appreciated Cheers

RRP for the 121's will be €190, actually €189.95

So I was talking to a lad today Although Murphy Models have advertised the model it was a bit premature A couple of problems arose at the last minute but they have been resolved Obviously this will delay the production of the 121 The hope now is that they will be shipped mid to late November, in time for my birthday So apologies from MM but he is hoping that the wait will be worth it Some painted examples may be on view at the SDMRC 3 day show.

Gimme..... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lima-L305347-BR-mK1-Corridor-Composite-CIE-orange-black-mint-boxed-cond/264506709031?hash=item3d95d41427:g:0cMAAOSwE-9drfx7

Lima N Gauge which was made in the late 70's Their usual effort painting existing stock to resemble Irish stock Only a very small amount was done to gauge the Irish market It was not successful and never went into full production

A few quick pics Trying to show some of the different boxes they come in, Some Matchbox bits as well

Water?

So you will not be buying any Flats, Ferts or A's?

The name is Bracken, not Murphy! Lights will be as per period, another detail that has added to the delay

Murphy Models do sound for the 071 & 201 The new 121 sound can also be used on some of the 141's but it is not available As Owen said previously Wheeltappers or maybe try Mr Soundguy. http://www.mrsoundguy.co.uk/

Hopefully all going well the release will be Grey 121 & 135 IE 124, 129 & 134 Before Christmas Then CIE Black 125 & 131 Supertrain 126 & 132 Possibly late Feb Finally IR 127, 130 & 133 Bangor in April?

Couple of things Some painted examples have arrived and He Who Must Be Canonised is happy with them The finished models wont be here for the 3 day show but there will be some running/painted ones on display Hopefully they should be available before Christmas One thing that surfaced is that there will need to be 6 switches for DC running, double heading being the ball breaker So no stupid replies please, it will be here when its here

NI Blue 141? 071 maybe 2 locos running at the same time should not have been a problem unless you shorted your transformer/controller Turn off all power and try to run 1 loco and see what happens

Romantics? Sacred heart of Jesus.....................

A voucher for Dunnes Stores sometimes helps?

This may be of some use to some of the more skilled modellers here, I am sure something could be made from them for your 141/071 etc https://www.ebay.com/b/athearn-handrails/bn_7114591779

Where are you based man, might be able to help?

Enjoy

Is there any value on old Airfix kits men? Raiding an attic this afternoon and I found around 50 - 60 unopened kits Worth a punt?

Murphy has no spares for the 141's, 10 years old now and all his spares are used up What handrails are you looking for, I may have some odd ones in the spares box?

No definite one, hopefully there will be some news at the 3 day show in Blackrock, either fully painted models or with a bit of luck some for sale! If there is any more news I will post it here
