Thanks Chris, much appreciated! The decoration samples made their debut at the South Dublin Model Railway Club yesterday. A big thanks to Paul Reynolds for these pics. Those IE locos aren’t far away so get your order in! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/murphy-models-class-121-locomotive

RTR only as per below.

Sure are. Deco samples on the way

Hi there, Not really as we do not know how many will be produced. However, I can tell you that so far 124 and 134 are the most popular two ordered from us by far, so far. Cheers! Fran

According to Murphy Models these sounds are custom and are his property. It is the same with IRM sound files. 567 and 645 sound files are common downloadable files due to the large amount of locomotives featuring these prime movers worldwide, but there may be horn and ancillary sounds unique to the Irish variant which makes them different. Many thanks, Fran

It is my understanding that this will not be the case and the sound files will remain exclusive to Murphy Models. Many thanks, Fran

Murphy Models only recommends the three chips above. We don't know beyond that I'm afraid! Cheers! Fran

Perfect. It is my understanding that 124 and 134 will have the late LED lighting and that the 129 is the older type. Hope that helps! Fran

Can you tell me which pair you are interested in and I will check for you? Main differences are liveries, marker lights and the odd window change really. Cheers! Fran

Hi everyone, Exciting news this morning! We will be stocking the exciting forthcoming range of Murphy Models 121 Class locomotives in OO gauge! A total of 12 running numbers across 5 liveries will be available to order from us, as well as the DCC decoder and two different sound chips! Our price for these models in €189.95 with free postage in Ireland and the UK included! Read more about these lovely locomotives and how to place your pre-order here: https://irishrailwaymodels.com/blogs/announcements/irm-to-stock-murphy-models-121-class-locomotives (And before the rumour mill goes into overdrive, IRM has NOT taken over Murphy Models) Cheers! Fran

They make a series of O gauge kits of UK and Irish steam loco kits and coaches under the "Leinster Models" banner. @WRENNEIRE will know more.

Nice one George, the 190 looks super! Down to our last 11 packs ladies and gents, and 4 packs of fert pack D left. Dont miss out! Cheers! Fran

Savage bit of work Sean, well done!

Hi everyone, Low Stock Alert: Irish Cement Bubbles! Here is a heads up regarding our Irish Cement bubbles, with under 20 now left in stock. It will be a very long time before these are done again (if ever!) so don't miss out! Order here for dispatch tomorrow: https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/cement-bubbles/products/cie-cement-wagon-multi-pack-h Cheers! Fran

Love the 80 and the 2600s! Original Arrow livery was fantastic, one of the best around!

DISCOVERY! Ferts Found in Our Warehouse! We have found a small amount of Fertilser wagons in our warehouse! These very limited quantities of packs C and D are now on our website, so if you missed out, snap them up now! Available for immediate dispatch! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/cie-bogie-fertiliser-wagon

Maybe we should retire if demand and appetite is drying up? Sales are right up since the pandemic began. People need to do something while at home after all. Demand for new models in the Irish market has never been stronger and we've had to increase our production runs. So no need for negative waves just yet thankfully. Cheers! Fran

Correct, the different lid and sides are tooled and we will do the blue, but after the rest of 42 and hoppers and As, as we need to produce something to pull the blue Taras! Cheers! Fran

Most airfreight is via passenger aircraft, and there isn't much of that flying at the moment. So, boat it is! They are indeed! Cheers! Fran

Hi everyone, We have just updated our website with pics of each pack, with some extra close ups: https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/guinness-keg-liners These beauties take to the high seas early next week and will be with us at the end of June. Over 65% now gone, so don't miss out. It's the only daft stout currently available! Cheers! Fran

Hi there, No, that issue was solved on the Fert wagons and same on these. Cheers! Fran I'm tempted for a pint looking at them! If only the pubs were open! But, no pubs means extra money saved for trains, so these become more attractive! That's my logic anyway! haha Cheers! Fran

Hi everyone, Here's a closer look at our decorated samples of the keg wagons. Enjoy! Remember, they're available to pre-order now and over 40% are already pre-sold. Make sure you don't miss out as they have turned out very nice indeed! Order here: https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/guinness-keg-liners Cheers! Fran

Hi everyone, Last night I was informed of the sad passing of Anthony McDonald after a short illness. I’m sure some of you know Anthony very well from his role with the IRRS and was a regular stall holder at exhibitions and swap meets where he would bring his good humour and happy go lucky demeanour to us all. He also provided IRM with vital research information on the A Class and other projects and was a member of this forum. Our thoughts are with his wife and young family. Sad news indeed. Many thanks, Fran

I think we should stay on topic, we already had complaints about off topic posts on this thread today which has been dealt with. Let’s not go further with idle and unfounded speculation. Thank you.

If it's 2k it's hand made brass kit territory. RTR O gauge is a lot less than that. Leinster models sold O gauge kits here out of Monck Place. Wasn't a huge amount of detail on them but could be dressed up to look reasonable with additonal parts. Kits are still sold by SSM as well as companies in England.
