Even though an ESU decoder, this well exceeds the value of the locomotive itself at Stg117,50. Where's the speaker? Is it all in one or you need to purchase that in addition

Nice little model & price, bad shipping. I'd ship using parcel motel. It would cost you STG4 and about Eur4 more to Kilkenny

Can I just say that the information in this thread may eventually prove very useful but somewhat difficult to search for if the thread become lengthy (at least I have sometimes had difficulty locating information in some older threads that I know I've read but can't quite find the info again) It would be ideal if we had something in the resources section in a somewhat standardized format that members could add to, that might eventually become a very useful reference for members, and could be edited by some senior members to ensure reasonable accuracy. Someone also called on members to try to update information on steam locomotives that were listed under Irish locomotives on Wiki (iirc) which might also become a useful reference albeit not on the site

Two guys bid up to GBP92 for this Intercity 201 with a missing original grey coupling and broken drivers steps, when they are at Marks Models for the equivalent of GBP99! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181750336106?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

That's very interesting, Josefstadt. I guess I assumed that they had always used the marker light in the rear (and there lies another lighting project for some modelers). You also answered a question that I had also omitted to ask on here regarding the simultaneous red and white lights. I assumed it meant the loco might head off in either direction so thanks for that clarification! Sounds like a millennium upgrade by IE for the GMs, Noel.

Nudge? …… (Please & Thank You)

Low stock or not there are only 31 days in May!

Jim, you're full of it:D (advice) Love the bridge and water, Nelson, recognized it from another thread that you had contributed to Nice layout!

Junction M is correct. Memorial is primarily a US holiday. I included the Irish troops as a mark of respect given the membership of the site. My original post is intended as a salute of solidarity with these families. I propose we do not discuss the working of the UN on the thread (unless they have a private locomotive fleet of course!). Let's stay on topic. Thanks for your contributions. Happy Memorial Day to the membership here in the US.

If you look under the postage section on the eBay auction, it will specifically state where the seller will ship to and where not, in this case most European countries, but not North America etc, Shock! collectible horrors, I couldn't bid Annoyingly for many modelers on this site, UK sellers will often only post to the UK, OR….. state in the description that they will ship to "Southern Ireland" (wherever that is) but do not select Ireland as a destination. Hence, anyone displaying an address not in the UK will often be prevented from physically placing a bid by eBay. I think Blaine pointed this out above. Parcel Motel can be used as a workaround, of course

This eBay auction was European-wide, so we cannot necessarily assume that every fool is Irish;)

For the families of Irish-American military personnel and the many Irish soldiers that gave their lives serving with the United Nations over the decades, we respectfully wish you a happy Memorial Day.

Remember, there were two fools in this auction, so if you have anything to sell it would fund some Irish freight models very nicely!

Indeed! This just sold for £270. (€380)!!

That's three PMs re a split....

A bit optimistic in my opinion but if you really want one a best offer is available (I think they may be SOLD OUT at this point, haven't checked) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Murphy-Models-OO-Gauge-MM0111-class-071-diesel-in-N-I-R-Light-Blue-/251967975973?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3aaa763225 EDIT: Yep, RB models stil have a pair for cheaper than this

Yes, very interesting, which explains why only 112 of the three MM NIR 111 class models has the newer LED lights

Same speed given the same amount of maintenance? but, please Jim, tell us more about broad(er) gauge….

What I did not realize when I posted this first (but do now since I have a newly acquired model of 078), is that MM0078 also has the old style marker light in addition to the small logo. MM0077 and MM0085 both have the newer LED marker lights (apparently installed in the 2000s) and large logo. I guess this is in keeping the small logo being applied to the prototype at some early time point followed by a move the definitive larger logo. EDIT: Finally managed to make it through a lot of the thread on the 071 model (which precedes my membership on the fora) and some additional information regarding the small logo here with a picture of 078 with the small logo (but the newer LED lights)http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/6-Murphy-Models-071-New-detailed-pre-production-photos-added!/page74 Could somebody remind me which years the CIE roundel, IR and IE logos were introduced in general please? Thanks in advance

Does anyone know when ©I®E changed the original marker lights and installed LED white and double red LEDs on the 071s? Originally these has the same configuration as the baby GMs above

A wee problem with traction i would have thought ….?

I think it adjusts the airflow at the nozzle (about 1:42) http://airbrushtechniquemagazine.com/airbrush/veda-wd-180-airbrush-review/ Hope that helps

You're doing a total respray after your visit with Richie? I did notice that the orange color on the ST EGV wraps round onto the back of the coach and I was wondering what you were going to do with that. Tranfers seem to the the way to go for the white lines

Check out post #650 here and reasonably priced http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/125-Glenderg-s-Projects/page65

That has been sitting on there for as long as I can remember. Maybe fell off for a while, now stagnating there again:facepalm:
