I think that's beyond the scope of the technical brilliance of many on this forum, but come to mention it when hearing the hi pitched whine of the Accurascale Deltic on you tube it did sound uncannily like my ex wife .

Now that's the $64 million dollar question

Oh yes but not as of yet available in IR/IE livery ...............................

Yes I have done this too but also reverse the B4 bogie they are the wrong way around on the original model.

A crowd called Replica Railways do a very nice detailed B4 bogie Accessories (replicarailways.co.uk)

What ones are you looking for Mk2a or Mk2b do you want to covert them IE /NIR, here is a Lima Mk2b FK ideal for IE 4109,4401 & 4402 and not to expensive. An ideal coach to experiment with. Lima L305301-PO86 Mk 2B FK first corridor W13493 in BR blue/grey - (hattons.co.uk) And here is a great article about up grading the humble Lima Mk2.

I thought for a moment you were going to melt them down and build O guage 800 class locos out of them . -
The best MK2a FK were the ones done by Bachmann, the Mk2b FK were done by Lima are ok a bit dated but you can pick them up easy enough.

New Announcement - Give Your Depot a Lift With CIE Forklifts

What about 10ft containers ? -
Not wanting to go off in tangents or be too pedantic but worth pointing out as far as I'm aware that 4101,4102 and 4110 as built were Mk2a, 4108 was a Mk2 as built , the main visual difference being the Gangway on the Mk2 was the same as the BR MK1 , the Mk2a had the bi folding door, this would be changed on the Mk2 over time so by the time it came into IE ownership it was a MK2a. The other difference being Mk2 was Vacuum Braked later converted to Air Brakes.
-
I think the rebuilt Dutch van (EGV) would be difficult, the ex MK2b Fk , Mk2c FO are more likely the only difference with the BR / NIR versions is the interiors and the blanked over windows on 4401 & 4402 .
-
The MK2b coaches look stunning the level of detail is in another world every manufacturer who has tackled the MK2b seems to omit some detail , it seems that Accurascale /IRM have nailed it , one detail such as the door bumpers is such a distinctive detail which make the model standout unfortunately this was omitted on the Murphy Models Mk2d for example and are slightly poorer for it . I am keeping my fingers crossed that the IR/IE MK2b’s 4109 , 4401 & 4402 might appear at some point along with MK2c ex FO’s 4103 ,4104, 4105 , 4106 & 4107 possibly in a mix of three pack at some point in the future. Hint Hint ……….

CIE 1940s green - best shade of spray paint
flange lubricator replied to Pete00018's question in Questions & Answers
This previous thread covers it very well if one wanted the exact RAL colour the likes of Vinny Byrnes in Dublin would make it for you in a rattle can . -
Yes the sound chip can be used on the different locos , the difficulty would be the possibility of easily damaging the chip if your changing it from loco to loco the pins are very delicate.
