Have a look in prototype forum for photos of mk 3 pps I posted.

That's true Seamus well spotted.

Sunday treat on the 1030 ex Connolly during 1992. It became normal for double heading as a single 121 struggled with 6 piece pp on the Rosslare line. When the 201s came along in 1994 the 071s found themselves on the Sunday Mk3 PPs.

A unusual train of just two MK3 PPs and 142+144 on a Railtour for Ian Walsh at Wellingtonbridge.I remember it was freeeezzing that morning and the wife was giving out about waiting around for this bloody train.The things you do for your hobby:x

That is a nice job.

Let me fish out the external hard drive and get the photos Rich.

Indeed I can show you a photo of two coach MK3 PP double headed by two 141s.

Well done on the layout.I am attic bound as well.

Hi Des, Work away on any photos you want. I used a pre done black stripes for the veranda.

I was chatting to Anthony a while back and I just Discovered that the 071 class are taller than the 141/181 class.Now that is one thing that caught me out as I thought they were both the same in height. I persume the height difference is in the buffer area and the cabs are the same.I had always wondered why the red Panal between the buffers was more Raised on a 071 class.

Hi Philip,you could try the IRRS at Heuston station who might have it.check their website for nights they meet,I think it's Tuesday nights.The shapeways wagons are very handy if a bit expensive.Saves me scratch building though.

I know money might be a problem,but do try to get the next one up as the express is a bit on the basic side.

Now I would pay good money to see you dance like that Shem.

OMD had played with Joy Division at Erics in Liverpool and were infleunced by Ian Curtis moves and music.He is 32 years dead today!. RIP Ian.OMD tribute song-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fufgVs5hAWk

Anthony has a powercab,I am sure he will let you know soon.

Jeepers Shem I was only 25 then and still had a bit of hair left. I only found out about MIR in 1995 through aback issue of ITG journal which shocked me to find 141s,121s,071,wagons etc all for sale.

Noel that owns Tara junction has just bought a prodigy just like my own. I am very happy with it,and got it in Hattons for 199 stl.

If you go to my workbench at the start and scroll down You will see my 201 with the speaker installed.I got the Speaker form DCC supplies and I think it's bass enhanced or bass reflex- one or the other.The speaker that comes with the 201 is bog standard and you need to remove the Speaker and plastic cradle that it lies in. The two wires from the speaker need to be desoldered from The main board,and I will check the dimensions later as space is tight because of the main board and gear tower. All you have to do is to solder the speaker wires back onto the main board when you get your new speaker.Some double sided Tape or similar will hold the speaker in place. I

Whatever you do don't get the dynamis,as I have one in a box which keeps showing a short even though There in none.spend your money wisely and go for the more expensive unit-powercab-prodigy-etc. I have read about a lot of problems with the dynamis and Anthony will tell you the same.

Very impressive,fair play to you.

I just found my MIR catalogue from 1993,and transfer directory. Just look at one page-cement bubble 7.50 stl and bogie fertiliser-10.50 stl.

Well Holy God said Mily.Now that puts it into perspective LOL.

I would have thought the IR and IE liveries would Be the most popular,I know they are the main ones I want.

If you could call to see someone's layout that has DCC, that would help.As Anthony has said Everyone has their fav unit so if you can,do check different units out.
