    No, the 124 in ITG hands has little hope of running again. 134 has yet to be assessed by the RPSI until it is moved to Connolly shed along with 141 and 175. 134 has the best chance of seeing action again but it will be long, long time coming.

    Thanks for clearing up, just ordered some of 1, 2 and 3 to keep me covered. I;m assuming you will be doing the same for the bubbles closer to the time.
  3. Railer
    For customers with existing orders, what packs will they get? All the same or will they be picked at random?

    That website release was last undated in January though. Still like TTC I'm interested to see what the surprise due this month is and the revised ST Mk2s are due around now too.

    Wow, those SSM flats look great. I'd love some myself, just don't have the skill or patience to make one never mind paint and weather.
  6. Railer
    The Silver Fox GSVs are usually around €90-€100 depending where you pick on up or order from.

    Wow, really? I was expecting around the time of the Raheny October show at the earliest. Can't wait:trains:
  8. Railer
    How about a sneaky pic of one of the pre production ballasts.
  9. Railer
    Probably the same as the hoppers at a guess, €110 for a triple pack or around that ball park.
  10. Railer
    Wow, you don't appreciate the amount of work that goes into a set until you see it all laid out like that.
  11. Railer
    The completion percentage is very far along for the bubbles compared to the hoppers too and we can't even order them yet.

    The common user livery is just going on 231 and 233 for the time being. Only locos equipped to haul the refurb Enterprise stock that are excess to the Enterprise loco pool will get the livery. The Intercity livery is staying on all the non Enterprise equipped push pull locos as is.
  13. Railer
    Don't think so now after seeing 231 in the new common user livery which is just the new Enterprise livery without the red and purple swirls. I think the slate grey would look very well on the 201s, could only see it happening if they brought back some of the withdrawn 201s as they can only work freight dues to their couplings and buffers. Can't see that ever happening.

    I believe there is more than one 071 going around with the flying snail 40 year plate. The grey 071 (I forget now) used on the recent IRRS tour had it fitted too. Think it was 076?
  15. Railer
    That's what I was thinking when I saw it, very IE orange. Reminds me of the cab of 146 after the rebuild before they put the white stripes back on. Just wonder how long she will last in that livery, hopefully a year or so considering the DARTs still have DART25 logos despite being 33 years old and some loco and ICRs still have their Movembers.

    The end sticker was sort of red dayglow orange like what IE used on the 141/071s in the late 90s. I find the 80s NIR blue used on the Murphy Model 111 a tad too bright compared to my memory of it.
  17. Railer
    141 and 142 were bought by the RPSI and a private member within the RPSI so IE knew they were going to aquire them when they were painted in 2010. None of 071s have been ear marked for RPSI ownership......yet.
  18. Railer
    Now the question of all time. Is that IE orange or CIE tan they used?
  19. Railer
    I was wondering what the yellow parts are on the bogies of 082, they don't seem to exist on normal bogies like 081 below or 084 behind it. Same for one of the 201s, I think either 202 or 204 has yellow parts on its bogies too that other 201s don't have. I don't think its that they get covered in road dirt either, it's like a new design.

    All the RPSI BGMs getting ready for the move to Connolly. The shed is going to be cosy with 4, 461, 134, 141 and 175 all living in there.
  21. Railer
    I reckon they can make it. They are 3 years into overhauling the fleet and are just over half way through. 077 was the first released back into traffic in April 2013 after about 3 years out of service. Think 087 just avoided the scrap heap at after 4 years out of action itself.
  22. Railer
    Or 92-60-0117072-5 even. Long over due but not as long as 081 that is currently inside, that was the first loco in the freight livery in 2006.
  23. Railer
    Nice shots, I see they changed 231's LEDs the right way around before they let her out.
  24. Railer
    The trainsafe solution looks alot better then the DC concepts to me. I take it trainsafe don't distribute their product to retailers and you have to buy direct from them.
  25. Railer
    Just found it, something like this. http://www.dccconcepts.com/catalogue/j/dccconcepts-mpd-loco-storage I have 3 2600 sets I'd like to store coupled as the draw bars are a pain and a bit fiddly at the best of times.
