Mk 3 Coaches for Repainting - Lima vs. Hornby
RedRich replied to DJ Dangerous's topic in Irish Models
I've always felt that the Lima model was the one that captured the look and profile best. It is let down like the Hornby model with the abysmal representation of the corridor connection gangway. The Oxford MK111 as has been said above by Richie is let down by poor profile and the under carriage dimensions are all over the place. However the gangway corridor connector is the best aspect of the model and captures it best of all the models so far released. The Lima can be taken up a level by using Shawplan laserglaze and etched window surrounds. HTH good luck. Rich, -
There are lot's of our members that have a huge knowledge of the class that don't live in Dublin or even in Ireland. The lads in the MRSI have seen it up close and their knowledge of the prototype and modelling is good enough for me. Lots of folks work Saturday too. The photos posted on here and the video Hattons have on youtube of the model running is as good as it gets without handling the sample. Timing was possibly not the greatest time for people neither with prior commitments. I have to say that it looks stunning and can't wait to see a full production sample. Rich,

I don't think that the bogies were out shopped like the Tara and Liner wagons also can't remember seeing the hand wheel painted red. Rich,

Looking very good men and Frans photographic skills are improving everytime he posts new pics. Couldn't see you as paparazzi though man.. Mind you from the way the IRM trajectory is climbing they might be following you guys soon. Watch out for stalkers though. Rich.

I know it has been said before but I love the way TJ is run prototypicaly, a model railway by a railway man. Looking forward to more updates Noel. Rich,

I worked for Irish Rail for a time and remember the Twenty footer used to deliver the post every morning to be collected by An Post. The container had some patches where clean paint was revealed and the photo of the 4 containers Fran posted from the office looks dam close to how I remember seeing that container in Plunkett as mentioned.

That looks stunning lads thanks for putting in so much hard work and effort to bring these amazing models to fruition. I love that B&I container. I will have to place an extra order. Roll on October. Rich,

This is amazing Noel you are a top all round modeller. Rich,

I'm hopeful that we will be discussing a 47 foot sample in the future. Ooer missus as Frankie Howard would have said. Rich,

They look very nice Eamonn and well made. One of MIR's better kits. Rich.

I have to say that I've never seen anyone apologise in advance of issuing a boll***ing before. Fran must be on his knees laughing. I mean how could you take that seriously. Rich,

Great work Jason. That's looking amazing. I love cement traffic myself. Rich,
-
I know man it's mental that somebody actually voted for it. I reckon it was these two telling the world, to hell with it I wear a skirt and am proud of it.

Two answers for IRM producing a Deltic. No guesses for who voted for that. Rich,

Imagine if Jim Davidson joined the group, he'd be over the moon and think he was back in the eighties. Rich,

Jaysus Dive I thought Boutros Boutros Ghali had come back to life. You live in the states don't you. We should nominate you for the Nobel Peace Prize you could be added to the list of recent winners, Obama, Gore, and Jimmy Carter. I still can't see how a Deltic is included in that list seeing that it is aimed at modelling the Irish scene. Rich,
-
Agree Jason the 26 and 2700's served a purpose and they served it well. Rich,
-
Even though the 2700's replaced the Cravens on the Waterford Limerick route (which at the time was hard to take) I did get to kind of like them. The MK111's were the most comfortable coaches I have ever travelled on and I do miss them especially running behind an 071. Rich,
-
Very promising they really capture the look of these wonderful and unique locos. It's fantastic to know that soon we will have all 4 Illinois GM's modelled to such a high standard. Mr Murphy has pulled off another top model and deserves all the respect and plaudits he is due. Rich,
-
This has to be one of the most pointless threads I have seen on here. It would make total sense if a manufacturer set up the survey. Any chance Fran, Pat, Richie, Stephen can enlighten us as to when IRM will be producing a Deltic. Didn't think they ran in Ireland Rich,

Ned Flanders would be more apt than Homer for our anti yellow man .

More yellow loveliness Noel. Although someone on here won't like it. Keep em coming, Rich,

Looking fantastic Jason I like the colour on the shed too. Rich,
