    Very sad! Nice footage for the archive

    I also a similar question about NIR 112/113. Are there any difference between these locos other than number/name? They both seem to be current livery , I think (except one is a Ltd Ed. and more expensive) ......... or will I get knuckle-wrapped for not opening a new thread?

    Hi everyone, Thanks for your replies. I see it now. Appreciate the history on how this occurred. Anyone know how long the repaint took? i.e. what proportion of their lives was spent in each livery (orange/black) before they got the black/silver of course?

    But were there two different versions? CIE 'Original" and then Supertrain? Murphy Models MM0086 (086SA) definitely looks a little richer than MM0088 on (say) the Hattons site(if you can judge anything by these)

    Hello, I'm looking at buying an 071 class either MM0088 (CIE original) vs. MM0086 (CIE Supertrain). I cannot determine what the difference is between these liveries with CIE "broken wheel" logos. Maybe Supertrain is a little deeper orange:confused:? My only frame of reference right now is having some baby GMs in "Supertrain" livery 161sa & 182. Can anyone offer an explanation or a little background on this if possible. Thank you, Kevin

    Well, he sold them for over €45 each plus that postage bill !

    Good advice. Will do. I offered a guy on the site a million dollars for a loco. He declined. Must be the exchange rate! :-))

    Will do. Thanks Heirflick. GSr region was home in the old country
  12. DiveController
    Yes, the US GN looks like super train to me!
  13. DiveController
    Thanks, Heirflick. Let me try to research GSR 670 class. Maybe I can make the "N" an "S"!

    Hi Warbonnet, That was my impression that this was a GNR (UK) rather than a GNR(I) loco and possibly never ran "here" i.e. there, I'm not in Ireland anymore :-(

    Hi Folks, I'm considering using this loco to go run with some Woolies and maybe NCC Jinty. Want to equip it with DCC and got some good advice from another thread on the DCC installs on the Woolie and NCC. Was this loco ever actually used up north or only in Scotland/LNER East Coast Mainline. Only reference I have is Hornby's own website which is not overly informative. If anyone has it, does it run pretty well? I think it have a 5-pole motor and I think the chassis is isolated and DCC-equipable. Thanks, Kevin

    Appreciate that! Thanks. It'll be a while. I'm trying to plan twice and cut once.....
  17. DiveController
    You're right, the ones in Portalington only have a small hood in mid-wagon whet the split is
  18. DiveController
    Looked them up and downloaded manual for later reference. Looks good! Ty! Kevin
  19. DiveController
    Thank you very much for the advice and the link! Kevin
  20. DiveController
    Thanks to all three!

    Good morning guys, Very helpful advice. Need to know before I invest any more cash in them. Space us even tighter in a Jinty I'm thinking? Still doable as for the woolwich? Kevin

    Super Models and layout! Can I ask abut the footbridge? Were did you get it? Is this an authentic model because it looks a lot better than some I've seen?
  23. DiveController
    Well done, GM 171! Thanks for taking the time. Super shots of 219 with those timber wagons. Just what i needed. No chance of seeing them from here so really appreciate the video. Ty! Kevin

    Thanks Rich for starting this thread and to everyone for their replies. I'm just starting to build and trying to make it DCC. Can anyone advise on point/signal control with DCC, please? Same controller (too complicated?), separate system with some sort of light system to show the state of the circuits 'at a glance'? What works for those of you who have achieved this? Thank you Kevin
  25. DiveController
    I think 078 and 7078 have the same problem although I presume it was painted to black/silver before getting the all over grey so unlikely to be running on the same layout, I guess?
