A friend asked about some of the Bachmann 57' CIE Coaches
I went to my stash and found a couple that I had not cataloged back in '12
Basically Bachmann had produced these coaches as LMS 57' and they owned the moulds etc
Murphy had them painted into CIE colours and given them a range of running numbers
Bachmann USA then had them produced into their 00651 Irish Railway set, N class loco & 3 57' coaches
I think it caused a bit of hassle at the time but nothing he could do about it
They also produced 2 additional coaches to enhance the set,74700 , 3rd class coach 1337 & 74701 a Brake 3rd 1088
Premium HO Scale but are in fact OO scale.
74700
74701
00651
The coaches in this set are:
3rd/Brake 1096
All 3rd 1333
1st/3rd 2097
So with the 5 that MM produced through Bachmann this makes a total of 10 of these fine coaches.
