Regrettably my email to MM customer service,re baffling detailing items, generated an automated reply, ‘if you have warranty problem contact the stockist you purchased from’. ‘MM is a trade only supplier’ etc. Does anyone have a contact email for Paddy Murphy ? or would they contact him on my behalf please. See photo below. Thanks

I sense a warm feeling in my water coming on !
-
I would much rather purchase quality products from IRM than made up items elsewhere !
-
Not quite so lucky in UK, still waiting for mine ordered last Friday, R Mail very short of staff. Spoil wagons delivery pushed back by 2 days, hopefully tomorrow !

I wanted to purchase TPO, Heating Vans and 5 1951/53 coaches from Silver Fox. They only produce Irish models in August, so I have to wait till 2022 if not longer. There is a market gap out there waiting to be filled !

As suggested by ‘Old Blarney’ I emailed MM Customer Service re the baffling items. Having hit myself over the head with a modelling hammer, why didn’t I think of that.

I am still baffled by 2 detailing items in the kit supplied, 3 tiny grey (possibly lamp brackets) why 3 & not 4 ! A black cylindrical object with a narrow pipe extending from top outwards & then a short bend. It fits on the stub situated on the 2nd roof panel behind the cab. I have examined Ernie’s photos of 121 class, kindly posted by ‘Old Blarney’ David White, and can’t see a black cylinder type object. Help !

Agreed, I also have fixed rakes of BR wagons to which I have fitted Kadees and removed the Trip pins. I have Hunt couplings fitted to my suburban passenger stock with Kadees on each end.

9 CIE IRM Ballast wagons arrived yesterday. Now to go about fitting Kadees ! From my bad experience of trying to convert Lima Mk1’s with Kadees I came across Matt at Vectis Model Rail. Emailed him yesterday re Ballast wagons and he suggested his Bachmann Prairie NEM converter, Prairie comes with cranked TLC. I have ordered some to see it they suit and I will post the results, if not, I will send Matt a ballast wagon and he will make a suitable converter. I know Noel has glued No.18’s under NEM pocket on IRM’s advice and it works, but I would rather find another substitute to glueing.

Apologies for slow reply, Thank you for posting, food for thought.

Could anyone post photos of a Class 121 with the detailing kit added. I’m not familiar with what goes where. Thanks.

I’m running in No.121 on DC and noticed the marker lights at cab end show 3 white with 1 red at bonnet end. Is that correct ? Please note I have yet to fit DCC sound decoder. Thanks

Watched a Gerry Conmy video of lifting Loco 361 in Inchicore works, amazing cooperation between CIE & RPSI.

UK based please. Thank you.

I only intend to use lamps on A1 and will hopefully solder direct to base beneath decoder Pin 8 & Pin 16 tabs.

Thank you

Hi Old B, You mentioned Kadee replacement couplings, I have MM Cravens with NEM 362 pockets that I trial fitted with Kadee No. 20 couplings but they are 2mm short. Have you any suggestions to overcome this problem. I asked this question in the forum 6 weeks ago, no replies ! Thanks F4f

Old B, At the age of 11 yrs old (1966), while on holidays in Galway, I used to shunt the yard on an A class with Driver Pierce Wade making up the evening goods train. I emigrated in 1978 and became a Driver on British Rail at Waterloo, London, I retired in 2016. Regards F4f.

Can’t believe so many photos of WCR, my home town of Kilrush and neighbouring Cappa pier where I went swimming as a child. Thank you.

I’m thinking of fitting working head lamp/s to A Class A1 when it arrives. Did the A Class run with head lamps in 50’s / 60’s prior to being re engined and head light cluster fitted ? Thanks.
