    Murphy Models 071 - New, detailed pre-production photos added!

    in Irish Models

    Posted

    I might be grabbing the wrong end of one or many sticks here, but it looks like 112 sold out of many more than 082 and 071.

     

    Or it could be late and what little that remains of my brains have gone bye bye.

     

    Incidentally, those of you still waiting for me to understand the lokpilot v4 handbook so as I could tell you what CVs alter to get all the lights functioning properly on your 071s, I do hope you weren't holding your breath.

     

    I recognise the words on the page as English, I even recognise the order of the words as being appropriate to being English, but I have absolutely no clue as to what those words are telling me to do - i.e. 'it's all Greek to me...".

    Words fail me Anto - but you know me, I'll have a go anyway ;)

     

    First, I know that I've seen your layout by proxy on Youtube many times, but I've got to say that is one gorgeous layout, that just looks 'right'.

     

    Second you run some wonderful stock, did I see, a Supertrain Mk3 set (wouldn't mind knowing the story of the construction/make-up of those sometime!), An A class (or a 001 class if you prefer), Mk1 and Dutch gen vans? (again I wouldn't mind knowing the story of those some time too), as well as those rather nice looking, and running 121s.

     

    I know you didn't really do it to gloat, but it didn't half make me envious - but also gave me something to aim at too.

     

    Thanks again Anto!

    The Lima MK3's are still stunning even after all these years :)

     

    I wonder might Hornby do a run of them at some point, with the resurgence of Irish interest :)

     

    Well Hornby have both the ex-Lima Mk3 tooling, and the ex-Airfix aircon Mk2 tooling....

     

    If only...

    De Dietrich Stock?

    ps Incidentally, there was an eirecom email address attached to the site, and the owner of did have a name with the initials 'B' and 'S'. From the dreadful spelling and grammar on the site, my opinion of it was that it was naive rather than malicious.

     

    Move along now.... Nothing (more) to see here...

    Early '70s treasure trove!

    Evening Freight from Ballina

     

    what weird class of freight is that? Looks like beet wagons with very rusty upper bullied sections

     

    It appears to be a Bulleid open transporting a British Railways container, a bit like this:
