    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,

    Delighted to see the progress myself. Good things come to those who wait Rich. As proved by Mr Murphy in the past, and again with the 121 in the near future.

    As I said on other media this should get a certain cohort of ar**holes off of PM's back!

    Spot on thump, couldn't agree more. There's one or two on here guilty of continuous whining regarding the 121 project of late (they know who they are). Yet these are the same individuals who will be first to post on here gushing over the model when it's finally released. I've said it before and I'll say it again, some people are never happy.

    It would be the large and small unshaded ones (sides and ends) for the black'n'tan era liveries that I'd be interested in..... must check out SSM & Railtec. Thank you for replies, folks.

    Apologies JB, my mistake. I'm sure the title said CIE / IE Diesels. I put a cardigan down I was knitting to post them pics, and dropped a stitch in the process. Last time I'll bother.

    All too often, lettering, numerals and crests on models are way too overscale (and often the wrong colour).

    I have two Murphy 141s and I was thinking of renumbering them. Does anyone know where replacement numerals can be had of the exact size and shape of the (correct to scale) numbers on the Murphy ones?

    This will also apply to models of A, C, G and B101 classes, which are often seen with modern “arial” style font, which is too big, too thick and entirely the wrong font.

    CIE used a standard style of font from the mid 1950s to the early 2000s. Anyone manufacturing it?

    JB, I've renumbered 6 or 7 of my 141/181's all IR/IE era using SSM decals, and found them spot on. Same with my 071's. Pic below is of 160 & 190 still on a sheet to give you an idea of how they look.

    And 071 renumbered to 075

    Might be of some help to you.

  5. Alot of what would have been my Ultimate I luckily now have, with some still to come down the line. But like Rich, having a Mk3 push pull set would definitely be the dogs dangly bits. 

    And along with that, something that can sometimes be overlooked. I'd love a high quality rtr Mk1 GSV to compliment my Cravens.And probably even more than that, the Dutch generator van (rebuilt) to run with my Mk2a's. I'd be a happy bunny with that lot :)

    I understand that there might be some other match coming up at some point, where they might still win something or other?

    Will just be consolation Broithe, it'll never be as good. I think I'll go off and sit in a dark corner with my Guinness-_-

  7. Never thought I'd see the day when 97 points still wouldn't be enough to win a league title. So the wait goes on for that elusive 19th championship.1990 is beginning to feel like a very long time ago now :(  

  8. Looks good to me Tony, that colour you've applied has definitely added to the appearance. Personally I think if you're happy with that, then move on. Otherwise you can find yourself going around in circles. We've all been there.

    When the workload at the Lakeview servicing facility has quietened down they turn their attention to completing  exams on wagons,

    After a few months in service, and with some cement dust beginning to build up-Here we see some two axle cement bubbles in for brake block changing-note the handbrake on two wagons have been applied-this is only a temporary measure. They will be released to allow the brake blocks to be replaced-another ingenious addition from the lads at IRM HQ.....😋

    Cheers Noel. That's my cement fetish satisfied for another week or so. :drool:

  10. I'm presuming it was enamel thinners that done the damage? They can be quite unforgiving at the best of times, and that's the risk you take if using them when weathering. Nice work though, really like the finish on them.

    while i can't critise the quality of your models,  the new logo looks flat, the 'railway' white outlined text is very poor, and the entire logo takes up far too much web space, especially on tiny screens.

    Phones have moved on since 2001. Treat yourself to one for Christmas. You'll be surprised.

    You could always do the 071 tour to Sligo on Friday 10th May-with a stopover at Dromod of approximately 90 minutes to visit the Cavan & Leitrim railway on the way down and a fast spin back to Dublin...

    Just noticed that last week Noel. Wasn't sure if it could be booked separately or was part of the package included in International Railtour. Thanks for the info :tumbsup:

    175 hauls the heavy ballast hopper train through the station.

    Looks great Noel. Looking forward to getting mine up and running. An extremely dirty no.156 is waiting patiently in the siding, ready to take charge of the completed ballast train :)

    A couple more Irish Videos; the first from October 2000 taken at Drogheda featuring 169/182 on Gypsum, 072 arrives from Belfast & Dundalk with a Liner and leaves 10 bubbles before continuing. After a 4 car 2709 headed Railcar set arrives and departs for Connolly, 165 picks up the bubbles and takes them back to Platin. Finally 080 departs on loaded Tara's.

    The second is again at Limerick Junction October 2002 featuring 229 exchanging a bulk cement wagon for a repaired one and 203 on a down Cork liner.

    Weather in Drogheda was terrible but at least the footbridge had (still has) a roof, I had previously video'd the Liner at Dundalk; 072 arrived from Belfast with 3 Container flats and 6 bubbles and after protracted shunting add 4 further container flats, 2 Guinness 4w wagons and 4 more bubbles.  I plan to add the Dundalk footage in the future.

    regards ERnie

    Great footage as always Ernie. Interesting shunting movements from 229 at Limerick Junction before continuing on. Always nice to see the Baby GM's in action at Drogheda, once a hive of activity with cement etc.
