Lovely jubbly I'll be having a full rake. Rich,

There is a blanking plate on some cad images I have seen. Rich, Any chance someone took a pic of the 121 nose to cab with 184. Rich,

It's called humour and Seamus is well known for having a good sense of humour. Rich,

It looks to capture the 121 uniqueness shape and detail wise which should be what sets the standard for a model. It's a given that all locos should have sound mechanics and run great straight from the box in this day and age. Although a small few rogues will always escape from the factory. Any of the three MM Illinois built locos I have are spot on in every department and no doubt these will be the same. As Fran has said the design work gone into this model is of the highest standard. If the area between the grilles remains see through on the sides it will be epic. I always wondered would it be possible to remove some of the chassis block on a 141-181 to achieve that effect. Can't wait for 124 and 134 they are going to be special. Rich,

What an amazing looking machine and such an important part of the railway. When you are working with these babies it is said by staff that you are working in the guts of the railway. Rich,

I hope hope Mrs Brady has plenty of Fabreeze in the cupboard. Rich,

All the fantastic detail and skeletal chassis means I'll be running some empties just to show it off. Top work men. Rich,

I'd be up for a few in IE livery. Still one of my favourite models and has been setting the standard for 11-12 years. Rich,

Nice to see it has developed so quickly the weedsprayer will be a cracking model. Rich,

Why not put up photographic evidence of all these bokety brass models you refer to and I mean all of them. Put up pics from all these bokety brass models that members have uploaded to this group. I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Always handy to have a rubber in the pocket. Rich,

Agree Jason we all know who the main complainant and moaner is. He's been bad mouthing other manufacturers behind their backs also and being as nice as pie to them on here. Two faced and untrustworthy individual. Great to see the model progressing nicely and when it is released it is released, patience is the key. Rich,

You know it makes sense Fran. I love the Push Pulls and at the end of their career they were very busy before the ICR's were put into service. They also replaced the MK11's on the Heuston Waterford when they were withdrawn. They even made appearances on the Waterford Limerick line. Rich,

I really love seeing this side of the process it makes me appreciate the finished product all the more. Rich,

MK111 push pull sets to the excellent standards we are getting used to seeing. Especially with 121's on the way. Rich,

Lovely collection Ernie. The pics in Waterford. The A pulling the ferts with beets parked next to to them and the orange bubbles stand out in particular. All will be available and some are already available to recreate those scenes. Rich,

All the best men, onwards and upwards was never more apt for a young company going places. Watched Pat doing an interview about Accurascale on the tube. The boy has star quality. Rich,

Thanks for that I wasn't 100% certain if it was 133. Rich,

129 as wel in IE excellent. I'll be able to keep 124 and 134 permanently double headed then. I think 133 had the two cab window's at the bonnet side blanked out also in IE livery. Rich,

What I love about TJ is the way Noel gives us all the info on the trains and their duties. It's operated on prototype practices from a railway man himself I can imagine the drivers coming in at the start of a weeks shifts and checking the roster. If anyone wants or needs any prototype info then Noel is the man to ask. Love it Noel Rich,

What ever the price is I don't really care. The wait is nearly over and I am looking forward to these models I love the prototype. The enjoyment of having these fantastic models is priceless in itself. As for bashing the man about time constraints on here and other forums there has been one man at the forefront of it,and we all know who it is so enough said. Can't wait to double head with a 141-181. With IRM A class MM121 more wagons it's going to be a smashing year folks. Rich,

That is the artwork for 124 & 134 and it looks very good. The other three La Grange Illinois GM's are all fabulous models and this one looks like continuing the trend. If PM decides to bow out after this model then he will go out a champion Rich,

Nice one men, I'll have to Invest in an Irish Cement and CIE ivory livery pack. Rich,

Just fitted the brake pipe to one of the wagons as a dry run before I permanently attach it and removed the steps before fitting the pipe, re attached the steps and everything fitted nice and snug. I will permanently fix it when I get a set of decorders. The steps for removing the body that the lads posted worked flawlessly Rich,

Got home yesterday and the postie who is a neighbour had asked another neighbour to take them until I got home. The models are amazing in all departments and give the ballast wagons an extra bit of class. I think we will have to catergorise the flats separately from what has gone before as it is bloody hard to define which or what is the best of the first four releases. Rich,
