    I done the lima conversion slightly different than the mir's. I kept one end of the bachmann chassis as is and scratchbuilt a new buffer beam plus skirts for the other end. The end that's not used needs to be cut back slightly at a point just inside the bufferbeam. I also dismantled the bachmann fuel tanks and scratchbuilt a new fuel tank etc using a later murphys 201 as a reference.

    I ve lima 219 remotored with a Bachmann cl 66 chassis as well, she's numbered as 202 these days;).To get the 66 chassis to fit the lima involves quite a bit of work, the lads in the mrsi built a maxed out one with loads of extra details a few years back. The main problem with any remotoring job on the 201 is the bogies and the wheel spacings, the bachmann bogie is a lot more bulky than the Murphy lima or new 201 version.

    The Mrs's thought she was a smart arse by wrapping one of my old 201 boxes and put it under the tree. Got myself 082 and Santy got me a load of decoders for my mm 201's and 071's.

    For a long time Ssm J26, Maeve, Bandon tank and J15 have been on my radar problem is me and brass don t get on, I ve tried 2 brass kits one was a disaster and the other is barely presentable. I do intend to rebuild a few rtr br locos with plasticard but I ve a load of jobs on the bench before I have a go at a steamer.

    Happy Christmas lads
  14. Riversuir226
    Arrived today Noel many thanks
  15. Riversuir226
    Ideally a J15 would be good, then again I wouldn't say no to a Bandon tank or a J26. The Aec railcars, yes please as for an A class now your talking!!!!!
  16. Riversuir226
    Yep that's the one Richie

    Albert Qy had a overhead signal cabin, the one on the bridge is for the lifting spans, the Barrow and suir bridges have similar control boxes, definitely wouldn't fancy been in either control boxes today with the wind that comes down both river valleys.

    whatever about the black and silver having orange parts a newly repainted loco has no excuse. 112 and O75 have orange frames as well plus O83 has orange fan ports

    I love seeing the 201's, I m happy when I see the 071's but it's always a bit sweeter seeing a 201.
  24. Riversuir226
    Thanks lads there's another 201 wrapped up under the Xmas tree and after that (fingers crossed) 230 will be the last to be added to the roster, as far as I know 209 never carried nameplates.
