    Ordered one , I’ll be honest 103 Australian dollars frightened this shite out of me but the conversion rate was more lenient then I remember

    It’s for what the first photo I took, I haven’t a clue. I would imagine it would be of the Ruston In halfway but perhaps here lies my evidence of railway enthusiasm from a young age

    I might offer a trade for a few screws , 70 cent and a packet of tayto’s Jesus Facebook can be a disease sometimes what’s with is “Ex-Murphy Models”? Is that made up for more waffle

    I’ve heard some truly appalling stuff about this loco. It might be the new “Oxford Adams radial”

    I believe it was usual on a Thursday for one extra 3 wheel coach to be attached to the end of a railcar set

    A quick google search will show the A class got to every county in Ireland and more

    The hardest part of getting a mortgage from bank of mum and dad is justifying spending any money at all on trains in the first place. Never mind trying to explain how a train the same size as there phone costs as much of not more!

    Alstom are the last company we should be buying from that would be like if CIE kept buying from metropolitan vickers in the 60s and 70s

    Rocksavage works finished work on paining 479 this morning. it will soon be sent out to the junction to replace a C class on a mixed train they were awful due to the fact the bandon tank decals were not designed to be put on independently. I lost both spare 467 and 469 decals while trying to apply them and something went wrong before the red enamel paint went on the river side really shows how the decals really felt being put on. Horrendous but at least from far away there alright!

    Those motors in awkward positions killed the 3d print bandon tank. A new chassis has to be made which I have made no progress on since

    I see paddy as really doing only the GM stuff. You could make an argument at that time silverfox covered the other major areas like A, C, Sulzer. Add in the fact multiple liveries had been introduced since lima 201 loco, as well at murphy’s standerd of quality going up massive in 10 years. I suppose it’s understandable that we have had 3 1/2 runs of the 201 from Lima/MM over the past 20 years

    It was mentioned in the soft announcement that it was late 2021-spring 2022. If we take into account delays witch are inevitable due to shipping ect. My GUESS would be April-august 2022 i could also be presently suprised
  14. Westcorkrailway
    I’d dissagree. Murphy’s 201s are not the strongest model of the bunch but are still very serviceable models. I look foraward to the upcoming release of the newer badger, enterprise and ecpecially IE liveries
  15. Westcorkrailway
    Ids say it’s a case of when they release they drop…..that’s it. I’d go to the “new murphy’s products” thread for information

    Between 2006 and now did the class ever get a repaint? I know at some point maybe around 2015 the logos changed from the old IE logo to the new IE logo. Did they get repainted in that period? And also we’re the chassis on the slightly changed livery given a “slate grey chassis” in that repaint. Because if they didn’t the grubbiness looks really clean on the underbodies. And it’s always confused me a bit.

    At least the grey 121 had a black chassis. CIE surly knew weathering on these light grey locos would be horrendous (the whole reason the black n tan\Black/black with yellow front end liveries came in was to hide the crossely gunk compared to silver and light green. So I don’t understand the “paint primer” grey chassis on the 201 and indeed on the 2600 class
  18. Westcorkrailway
    It does seem a little surreal Dosent it I do love the Intercity livery EXCEPT for the colour of the chassis. Even though weathering made the chassis a more suitable colour very quickly

    Decided to run the loco today and things went to pot fairly fast. The loco would not move when the body was on (though you could hear the motor trying to start). Panic set in as I perhaps somehow, glue got into the motor. Thankfully all that was required was loosening the body screws and letting the loco run in for a few minutes again due to the new wait the brass sheet has giving the loco. Once the issue was fixed Had it run with all my CIE coaches flat out ill get my buffer beams sorted on saterday with humbrol red paint and SSM transfers for both front and rear buffer beam IMG_1289.MOV

    A46, A39R and A3R I believe are the ones that would cost €200 pre owned…..it’s only been a month and a bit since they were released
  21. Westcorkrailway
    When people complain about prices of the A’s on eBay in a years time. Bring them back to this thread!
  22. Westcorkrailway
    Aye, dez has been very good to me. He might take a second to respond.
  23. Westcorkrailway
  24. Westcorkrailway
    €250 start price? 121s and A class have really inflated these yolks
  25. Westcorkrailway
    At least the Bachman one don’t make the locomotive sound horrendous like that Hornby one
