  1. They still look suberb and great to see the old Lima Mk2b re purposed although an old model which has its faults , you have shown what can be done with a little thought and a really good paint job.
  2. Roof vents try Southern Pride models they also do mk2 roof hatches
  3. Super work Phillip, if your doing 4401/4402 the two details which can be added are the roof vents which were straight in line as they were ec FK corridor coaches another detail which shouts Mk2b were the black bump stops on the doors Lima omitted these but they do make the coach standout .
  4. I think the roof hatch was possibly used for access to the water storage tank for the toilets? I dont think they went out of their way to make them like MK2c's the majority of the conversions were ex MK2c FO five of them so it was a matter of using similar interior's materials wise . If your doing a 4402/4401 buffet a good place to start is a LIMA MK2b FK while not perfect comparied to the Bachmann Mk2's this can be picked around the place pretty cheaply and with a little effort can be made into an acceptable converson .
  5. Your correct they are difficult to model as they are unique, both 4401 and 4402 are ex Br Mk2b FKs these coaches were completely gutted and rebuilt buy IE using new and replacement parts so Thaler had bits of everything on them 4402 had roof hatches fitted similar to the later Mk2 c/d , it also had a replacement door off a mk2d with vent at the top of the door very unusual.
  6. How about a CIE GUY tractor unit or AEC Mandator in black or orange with bulk cement trailer which would go very nicely along side the Bulk Cement Wagons ?
  7. There is a picture taken by David Boyle in' Irish Metro-Vick Diesel's ' by Barry Carse of A42 in Green in July 1966 on a goods train from Dublin to Sligo passing MP3.
  8. I would be interested in one of those John .
  9. yes a couple more with different numbers would be nice
  10. Much prefer the red oxide bogies to the pie ball ones .
  11. Did the baby powder use yang Ming containres at one time too ?
  12. Dont think that the Same Wagon Wrenneire the jumbo wagons were insulated which made them look big .
  13. Found this on in Wexford County Council Yard in Ballycullane in 2004
  14. Great stuff , I hate to mention the dreaded B word but are you shipping and removing the Vat for your EU customers on your site .
  15. A very Happy Christmas too one and all in what has been a very difficult year for us all , the arrival of the long awaited 121 class from Paddy Murphy has certainly given everyone a lift along the arrival of more products from IRM like the Gypsum has also provided a lift to the spirits . As we look forward to a better 2021 and the arrival of the A class hopefully they will arrive when we will be starting to feel the beginning of the end of Covid . Stay safe everyone.
  16. Came acress this wonderful photograpic record by Gerry Conmy on the A & C class transplants carried by CIE at Inchicore well worth a look.

  17. I received two 121 class yesterday very well packaged from the UK one has a broken Vacuum Pipe , I also have another one with a broken pipe received from a Irish supplier ,this is only a minor issue would be great if some replacements could be made available at some stage .
