    The Model Shop rang me this afternoon confirming the price of €159.99 for the first 3 071/111s only and it is a limited time offer. I was told that they didn't get their full allocation of deliveries and are looking after the pre-orders first. 082 and 112 with my name on them are getting sent out tomorrow. Should have them Tuesday, possibly Wednesday at the latest with the Bhol weekend. May drop down to the show over the weekend and get 071 if there are any left as I can't wait now.

    The 201s regularly worked to Arklow on freight. They are cleared on the line all the way to Rosslare but with speed restrictions at certain parts.

    Class leader 071 or 072 will be in freight as far as I know. 071 was ment to be in Supertrain but it's now 088. There are pre-production samples of 072 in IE freight but I believe that has now given way to 071 as that is what a few online retailers have 071 listed as.

    I got it from one of Dave's replies in this very thread. Unless I took it up wrong. Someone was asking about the Supertrain 071s and Dave replied that it would be in early December. I understood that Supertrain, 082 Freight and 112 would be released together unless this is not now the case and 082 and 112 are out first and the Supertrain later on?

    Early December is the latest update. They can take as long as they want so they get the little things right and not rush it with silly mistakes that should not be missed in my book. 082 and 112 are my Christmas presents to myself this year.

    The orange roofs were from the '70s up until around 2002/3 when they started to paint the roofs black.

    Just spotted an MPV carrying sleepers heading south through Clongriffin at 23:00. I heard a strange horn and looked out the window to see it passing by. It's first working on the Northern line?

    The LHBs can work in 2,4,6 or 8 car formations. The 8500/10/20 are either 4 or 8 within class or 6 with an 8100.

    They last worked in service in 2007 and were withdrawn. They entered service again for a few weeks in 2008 and never worked in service again. In 2010 2 sets were in testing with the goal of them re-entering service but it never happened. They are now all in Inchicore awaiting a buyer or most likely scrap. 8204/8404 is fit for scrap having been stripped of a lot of parts.

    Yep, it was driver route training for the up coming Sperry train run on the branch line.

    Amazing looking. Fantastic neat work. I'd love about 8-10 of them, haven't got much space to work with.
  12. Railer
    I'll offer you €260 for the 3 of them.

    Really, that's the first time since January it has been on the Enterprise. Thought it had gone the way of 209.
  14. Railer
    All PP 201s are still in service except 216 which has been stripped for parts. The HEP on 209 is knackered hence why it has not worked on the Enterprise in 2 years and is now the test loco for this setup and putting it back in NIR's pool. The HEP on 234 is damaged and never repaired but since it has no TPWS it's not an issue. I think the HEP on 227 was damaged at the start of this year when it failed and it has not worked on the Enterprise since while all the other TPWS equiped 201s have.
  15. Railer
    True but if 209 and 230 were released tomorrow I'd get both. I have been looking for 201 for 8 months now and I can't find it anywhere or for second hand. I am also on the look out for 146, 156 and 184 but I can't find them anywhere so while some stuff is not moving there are other models that are almost impossible to get.
  16. Railer
    Maybe 111 in the pale sky blue with the narrow NIR font and orange panels:cool:. Can't wait for 082 and 112 now, they look great and weathering all round is a must but 112 is always fairly clean.
  17. Railer
    I have 082 and 112 pre-ordered a while now. I will then get 077 and 080 for one of each livery. I may re-number 077 as 084 and heavily weather it up as 084 was the last 071 to run in IE orange up until a month or two ago.
  18. Railer
    I thought 082 was in the first batch and not 072?
  19. Railer
    But are they double headding or is the second loco powered off. I know 2 111s were at the head of the Hunslet farewell tour and the lead loco was taken off about half way through. I don't think they were double headding for that.
  20. Railer
    It's because there are not many run around points. NIR seem to send 111 and 113 out together alot on engineering trains lately. Also for back up in case one fails. It would take along time to get another loco for York Road. That leaves 112 as the only Enterprise thunderbird in York Road and a 201 in Connolly for the next 9 months.
  21. Railer
    Seeing as 071, 082 and 112 are first out, here is a shot I got of 082 today on the taras.
  22. Railer
    112 got a good going over while it was in IE hands, that's why it has the new marker lights that 111 and 113 still do not have. 111 and 113 were at Inchicore a few years ago (around 2009/10 I think) getting some work done as the lads at York Road were having trouble maintaining them at the time. When 112 was handed back to NIR it didn't last long in service and was out of action for a while at York Road but while it was with IE it was the best serving loco with the least amount of failures per miles worked and it worked some of the heaviest beat trains at the time.

    084 is just very weathered, looking back at the 141/181/071s they seemed to get different shades of orange depending when they were repainted, some got dayglow red panels and others did not. I haven't seen 084 in few weeks now since it came off the taras after having to rescue 086 which failed on another tara link. Here is a photo I got of it back in May I think, at Clontarf Road.

    Just looking on the murphymodels site and it says that a 201 of each livery will be released but I don't see a revised old Enterprise full yellow end 201 listed. Why no 207 or 233? I know the next 201s due are 209 in NIR blue and 230 in the old Enterprise yellow panel livery. We got 201 and 210 in the new IE and 203 and 220 in the old IE but left out the second best looking 201 livery. I know I can get any mm 201 repainted but I'd like to get one out of the box.
  25. Railer
    That was me, I won't tell you the max I bid on them:o. Happy about the price, just waiting for them. The seller still hasn't posted them yet.
