WRENNEIRE

He will be at the 3 day show in Raheny on the October Bank Holiday weekend

Picked up this set at Stillorgan yesterday Seller had it from the time he was a breadsnatcher. It looks like it was never out of the box Interesting that the usual instructions that accompany these sets was still included It shows the set number, R384, and the date of manufacture, 16th May 1977. I was of the opinion that the Hornby sets, Slainte Express and this one were not manufactured till 1980 Also included is a 1977 Hornby catalogue which makes no reference to the CIE Set!

OK men, leave it with me Have to see what I can salvage There is a lot of stuff to sort through and its not catalogued very well I will keep you posted when I have gone through it all Murrayec of this parish was making horns a while ago, maybe drop him a PM Hopefully there will be some detail packs available,

One for the collection Fran, where would you get another one?

In the next couple of weeks I hope to have spare parts for MM 141's and 071's Still at the early stage where I am trying to sort prices and what will actually be available but hoping for all parts for 071's and a limited run of 141 parts. I know there are some bodies available for the 141's and hoping for some of the detailing packs that came with them but other than that not really sure whats available Is there a demand for spare parts? This type of package is available in small quantities for the 071/111's

7077! I think it was a pre production

Should have some of these at the show Trying to see if there would be any interest in them, brand new ex factory stock No price yet but hopefully will have by Sunday 7071 & 7078 bodies, cabs and footplates 111 112 & 8113

DZ of Studio Scale Models sent me some transfers for the project (FOC God bless his curly hair) So the coaches have been done, next will be the loco John Waynes First Class one Couple of 3rd's And a Brake end

Any reference number or name for the paint George? Lad does the Stillorgan show now and again that stocks loads of paint Its on this Sunday and I can see if he has anything that might suit

The 121 was offered by GM with a low cab

COYBIB

Fowler 2P would be a good start I think

The average age of the 4 lads on the layout was 72 and a half!!!!!

Sorted, don't know where the last download went?

Cheers Steve A tad pricey!

Check your downloads Steve Should be there with Chris Dyer, some new Silver Fox, Bachmann and also IRM Bubbles and Ballasts

Nothing there man, hmmmmm

Nothing showing Sails ?

Another bargain Postage works out at €24, so nearly €250 all in! Read the bunff attached to his description https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-Murphy-Models-32-150Y-K1-Woolwich-Green-00-Gauge-CIE-Irish-Steam-Loco/142902887685?hash=item2145ad0505:g:t5IAAOSwdqJbbuV9

Spot on George You can take the man out of the shop...........

So here is the letter I reckon its Fry's original order and it has been returned with the transfers So it looks like all the B101 & C201's were used Turf burner is not there either, looks like he was in a hurry for it 601 is also missing

I will have the new MM Supertrain coaches if anyone is interested

Regarding the website Murphy Models is a one man show, Paddy himself is in his mid 70's so as you can imagine his "Webmaster" skills are not the best but with regard to the 121 it will happen. I have seen his communications with the new manufacturers in China and although things are ultra slow because of communication difficulties etc they are lumbering along at a snails pace. Paddy is none too happy about all this as he hoped to bring them to market in 2016 but eventualities outside of his control have caused all the delays to date, the main one being that his original manufacturer has ceased making model railway items after some disastrous projects which saw them losing many millions of dollars. Be aware that he is beavering away and that as soon as there is any real news these pages will light up So hold your breath and save your pennies.

Knock yourself out JB, still hunting for the letter

Just something that may be of interest Envelope from JC Dwyer of Harrington & Goodlass Wall Ltd, of Nassau St to Cyril Fry, then working for Jacobs of Bishop St Apparently Mr Dwyer made all Cyrils transfers for his locos Cant find the letter at the moment but enquiries are continuing ........
