There was a 'wobble' to them, which can be seen in the vid below. The fix was to add some shims I believe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqYh8Ei-zUI

Here's to the day that the RPSI can run a tour with the full size versions of the train in the vid!

I fully agree with all sentiments expressed by everyone above - a massive thank you to Paddy for the fantastic work he has done over the years, bringing us true quality representations of the Irish locos we all know & love

How can I get in contact with him to get my name on the backlist?

Arghhh!!!!! My bloody favorite Irish bus of all time and this happens! When I left Facebook, I lost access to the Irish Buis models group, which was where I was hearing about upcoming releases. I thought I had asked Derek to keep me posted on future releases by Messenger, which I retained when I left FB, but I could be wrong, or he just forgot. Either way, I really hope they aren't all pre-sold, and that I get a chance to pick these up.

Just ordered 125 & 131 in B&T from Marks

If this was going to happen, you would have to have a Joe St. Leger figure

That's a nice little bonus to have come with the property!

I remember a few years back on Donedeal seeing a Honda XR 250 for sale that was an ex-BnM bike

Thanks for the update - please post here again with details of who/where they can be ordered from when orders are being taken

Cracking job Noel! Certainly a cautionary tale for anyone having a go at painting a resin body for the first time. The transfers for the white 'tippex' lines sure do work great for giving a nice crisp line alright

I heard about this on RTE Radio1 - amazing to see the progress, and what scenery!

It's off to the poor house for me!

Just a lot of extra form filling at a guess

Just ordered myself - good job IRM!

Excellent shots! No luck for tonight I'd say with the clouds

Just looking at B134 page on the RPSI site there, and it looks like they could be fitting staff catchers to it too as part of the restoration/repaint in Inchicore (see the second pic - colour scheme guide draft sheet) https://www.steamtrainsireland.com/rpsi-collection/14/b134

Less of that racist shite

Looks like wheel slip is still a problem for the 071 class, as seen in the two vids below. Credit to Irish Rail Trains user on Youtube for the vids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh7ZZru5yIQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FShskcVZe4U

From a post on page 15 of the Murphys Models 121 Class thread: MM0567 Class 121 DCC sound chip SRP €125.00 EMD 8-567CR NT (Sound Decoder representing the Sound for these Locomotives when delivered with their *GM 567 CA 8-Cylinder, twin bank, blower scavenged, developing 950 hp gross at 835 rpm, 875 hp traction. - Prior to engine transplants) MM0645 Class 121 DCC sound chip SRP €125.00 EMD 8-645E NT (Sound Decoder representing the Sound of these Locomotives from Transplanted Engines. Engines from from withdrawn C Class (201) Locomotives were installed in Class 121 Class Locomotives as and when it became necessary to replace engine power packs. *GM B-645 E 8 cylinder. twin bank, blower scavenged, developing 1,100 hp gross at 900 rpm, 1,040 hp traction. *Information taken from Irish Locomotives and Rolling Stock of Coras Iompair Eireann and Northern Ireland Railways - O.Doyle ans S. Hirsch I'd reckon the 567 sound chip would be applicable to the older livery you have ordered, but I stand to be corrected on that

I don't trust horses - they are just like cattle, only smarter. Sneaky kicks out at people etc. I had horse burgers in France many years ago, and they were nice though. Good in a lasagne too

Looks like the crane is using a load spreader bar to unload the prototype: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/6633962763/ For the model, bottom of page 16 of this thread has an unboxing vid

My favorite too - I went for 054 in this livery, as well as 027 in Supertrain

Post hard Brexit at the end of the year, lets see how many will still shop with Hattons, Rails etc when there will be a nice slice of customs duty applied on top of any reduced price the UK dealer may offer
