Just received my CIE super train order, all eight of them. I would like to thank Paddy Murphy for a job well done i Know that a lot of hard work and time has gone into these. These are to a high standard with good detail and the correct livery for the 1972 super train. It is great to see that Murphy's models has Continued to produce these models,. given such a small market interest. For years Others have not touched this market due to the small size . E.g. Hornby etc. When others have by direct or on behalf of a second party ,produced something it has been a class 33 in cie livery or mk3 British rail stock in cie and the later Irish rail Livery . To simplify this of the shelf stock. I hope that Murphy's Models will continue well into the future . So it is important to support this. Due to tooling costs some modern modifications to the super train coaches have to stay and this is fact of the modelling industry .Hornby etc. do it. If we where to go down the road of retooling the coaches as the original of 1972, the cost would be much greater and too expensive.

Both Mk2a and the later Mk2D Where 9foot 2over body and step Boards

The mk 2a where Required by Irish Rail around 1990 and rebuilt and entered service in Irish rail intercity livery. they where part of an exchange deal with V Berry Leicester for c Class 201s. They where air braked and the Dutch break Generator vans 4601 4602 4603 where rebuilt to operate with them . The Mk2d witch where new in 1972 been built at BREL at Derby with minor finishing work by cie and launched as the Super train They had Vacuum Breaks. Later from 1987 to 1990 the mk 2D recived the Irish rail intercity Livery. Mk2a Rebuilt 1990s

Mk2 in CIE super train Livery Its looking like January 2015... some may make it just before Christmas by air freight subject to the factory in China.
