    New IÉ logo...

    Maybe some windows and doors from the baby GMs will appear on these new liveried 071s once they've been through the works a couple of times. They definitely brightened up the freight livery.
  2. It is and ttc0169 has some good pics of it in the Photos & Videos of the Prototype section.
  3. Here are some videos I took this week of Ballina/Westport and Waterford freight trains. I managed to get all four DFDS trains and both Westport trains. They are listed in the order they were taken. Sorry about the shakes in some videos, the horns startled me:ROFL:. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gZDssiI8a4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0HCAZTxINQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b2bWbL4fiw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b0pswYgTkg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVyZ9eUPluc
  4. More pics of the new mk2s on the Model Shop Belfast's Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151531178820747&set=pb.112216680746.-2207520000.1364464324&type=3&theater http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151531178755747&set=pb.112216680746.-2207520000.1364464324&type=3&theater http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151531178745747&set=pb.112216680746.-2207520000.1364464324&type=3&theater http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151531178775747&set=pb.112216680746.-2207520000.1364464324&type=3&theater

    071 photo

    If the yellow panel was slightly lighter yellow and rounded like the NIR locos it would look okay. I think you may be right about the numbers, lets hope so anyway.

    The yellow panel and numbers! However like Warbonnet said, all it needs is a layer of dirt on it like the old freight livery did.
  7. Thats some rake Noel. Two likes from me on the videos.
  8. The decoder is in properly and I don't know about the pick ups but I will give them a clean tomorrow.
  9. Wheels are clean, track's clean, joints are good.
  10. Hi lads, Can anyone recommend a brand or type of oil suitable for lubricating 00 gauge locos and also where to apply oil on MM 201s. I have an MM 201 that I bought in 2011 and it hadn't been run for about 8 months after it was run after purchase. The loco does a lot of stalling and the cab lights flicker when turned on. The wheels also squeak so that's what led me to believe it may just need to be lubricated but if anyone else thinks something else is causing this please say so. Bare in mind it is a DCC layout with recently laid brand new track and I also cleaned the wheels recently.
  11. Another pic of all the liveries that came out this week from the Model Shop Belfast. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151523106970747&set=pb.112216680746.-2207520000.1364037491&type=3&theater
  12. I saw a video of 234 pulling the DFDS liner past Cloneygowan , Co. Offaly earlier and there is a report on boards.ie saying "083 on a empty timber from Waterford at Kildare. 073 on Ballina-Waterford DFDS at Kildare. Both are running behind schedule as they all should of departed earlier. Two further 071's operating to Heuston, looks like one failed didn't see the numbers." Does anyone know what has happened to the DFDS liner?
  13. The model shop Belfast have some new pics of the 071s on their facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151508152190747&set=pb.112216680746.-2207520000.1363796966&type=3&theater http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151508152165747&set=pb.112216680746.-2207520000.1363796966&type=3&theater http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151508152235747&set=pb.112216680746.-2207520000.1363796966&type=3&theater http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151508152315747&set=pb.112216680746.-2207520000.1363796966&type=3&theater For once I'm slightly tempted to buy a factory weathered loco.
  14. Brilliant photos! 075 caught me by surprise also, I didn't get my video but I did cycle beside it for half a mile:ROFL: Needless to say I was an hour early to film the timber train.
  15. WOW and a happy Paddy's day!
  16. Thanks lads, hopefully I'll manage to get a video of the pockets soon.
  17. Hi lads, I took these videos of the recently revived DFDS liner this evening on the Lavistown loop in Kilkenny and at a level crossing a bit down the line as it was too dark to film the liner without lights by the time it moved off the loop. The liner arrived at the loop at about 5:50 and finally departed at around 7:05. Thanks to ttc0169 for the times/days of operations of the DFDS. Sorry about the big shake in the first vid, I was zoomed in when the driver blow his horn. Seán. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpCjqtbfTJM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53wkKC9Ffto

    New IÉ logo...

    It would be nice to see one on the DFDS tomorrow.
  19. That is a lovely set . I see you are even ahead of Inchicore with the 071 works.
  20. Sorry I never posted the link:rolleyes:
  21. Marks Models have a pic of some Murphy Models stuff at the Nuremberg toy fair which includes the new mk2s in both liveries and the 071s.
  22. Here's another pic of a 113 Sulzer in Inchicore.
  23. I always love these videos. Those have to be the most realistic Irish oil tankers I have ever seen modelled.
