Managed to pick up a suitable railing, have walls and pillars in place. Slow but steady pace

Started some ballast this afternoon,  amazing how it changes the look.

Any photo's of the recent progress Tony?  

Always a nice little addition to the last wagon or coach in a rake, and a must in my opinion. Sometimes the smallest of detail makes all the difference. Coupler removed aswell I noticed   

Back from the dead, thank Christ for that. I was seriously considering giving up and moving to the dark side, which meant joining the masses watching love island. I don't think I could have ever looked at myself in the mirror again if I'd have gone through with it. So thank you IRM, and welcome back online. You've been badly missed for the best part of a week. 

Never mind the chocolate biscuits. Look at that container terminal 

Going by the loco and the fact that it's carrying it's IR livery but with day-glow panels, plus there's still some Bell containers to be seen there in the mix, you're looking at mid 90s. 

Irish Cement branded bubbles would have been on the scene at this stage but it wouldn't have been unusual to see one or two with the CIE logo either.

I have em at the ready Jason just incase, and he looks chuffed as well with the Ferts.

Rich,

 

Ah Rich, give me some credit. I wear pull-ups nowadays. I'm a big boy now 

Jasus, just when you thought it couldn't get any better...

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,

Agree Rich, if you could see through the grilles it would certainly be the icing on the cake. It was always something that caught the eye when watching them in action. If not, I certainly won't be complaining. Once I get my hands on a pair of these beauties I'll be as happy as a pig in shite either way. 

All seems a little too easy if you ask me. 

Love it  

Lovely work. Always nice to see some old school modelling being posted from the workbench section. 

Have to agree with Popeye. Knightwing or Ratio are definitely worth a look if you don't mind some kit building. Ratio in particular have some really nice options, and you get that little bit more for your money. The Bachmann stuff is perfect for a quick fix without any hassle, but it's a tad more expensive. All depends on how much you're planning to install I suppose.

Where did you get the wallpaper man?

 

Couldn't tell you Dave. It's not my house. Are you doing a bit of decorating at the moment? You were asking George last week where he had got his curtains from.

Great work JasonB, a nice bit of weathering adds realism to any model.

Class weathering job. Love it.

Can't take credit for the weathering job gents, that was done by Anthony Smyth. I just removed the CIE logo and added the IR ones.

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

Rich,

She takes no chances nowadays Rich. Plenty of Fabreeze and newspaper left down at all times.

Same here - possibly worthwhile doing as a double pack..?

Possibly, but I'd reckon the majority of people would prefer the option of buying individually. The cost of a double pack might put some off from buying at all. Personally I'll be taking no chances, I'll be investing in a pair and running them as a pair. 

124 & 134 to start with methinks

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the feedback! Here it is with some of the forthcoming containers to give you a flavour of what to expect! We should have a sample of the CIE 20ft container in the coming weeks to see what it looks like too!

Cheers!

Fran

I've done it again, just soiled myself.That is just an absolute beauty. 

It just gets better and better with each update Noel.The attention to detail never ceases to amaze me. 

Personally I've probably got more than enough in the 10 that I currently have, which is a split between the IR/IE liveries. Though it never stops me from keeping my eye out for them still. 

Interestingly, I did notice a couple of comments with regards to the livery that wasn't included in the original run. That being the IR logo without the white band. Here's one of my Dad's 141's which I carried out a little work on. The Catchers should have been removed for it to be prototypically correct, but you get the idea. 

Have to admit there's something I quite like about it. 

Brilliant as always. Love the CAST container on the 42' flat. Reeks of the early 90's

I got this nice crane on ebay last week, new £15 and free postage.

It looks good and lots of movements.

It is about 10 inches tall and i think it's good for that price.

 

 

You got yourself a bargain there popeye. Nice looking model with great detail, really like it.

speaking of liveries, is it possible to see what the Murphy Models 121 liveries will be? if possible are there any pre-production pictures, not the CAD models. 

Planned liveries and running numbers are listed on previous page.
