    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 ……….

    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.

    A lot of them were converted to ballast wagons in the late 1990’s after lying out of use in a siding in Enniscorthy for many years .

    Picked up one of these Oxford Rail 14ton wagons which seem very similar to Irish Shell wagons removed the ‘Mobil ‘ logos , got the Irish Shell transfers from Des at SSM models

    I think one could say that the thread has like 224 suffered a catastrophic crack in its main frame .

    Hopefully we wont have to wait that long for the next announcement from IRM.
  19. flange lubricator
    judging by look of the loco not many people read the sign
  20. flange lubricator
    Is it being repaired or is it undergoing a process of component recovery?
  21. flange lubricator
    If you looked inside the loco you could see the engine has been removed also the fuel tank and air tanks are also gone that may account for slightly bowed look.
  22. flange lubricator
    Yes as far as I remember they used the 27301 series flats for the coal and oil
  23. flange lubricator
    Yes that is correct but I thinks CIE were trying a number of solutions to the problem and this was one of them and I dont think it was a successful one.
  24. flange lubricator
    Was it for heating on branch line trains like the Loughrea?

    The C /B201 were very versatile and did plenty of shunting in their day
