    Would anyone be able to advise on an appropriate paint colour match for the Murphy Models 071 battleship grey? Also the yellow for the front panel please?
  2. RobertRoche
    Looking forward to replacing my half baked attempt at these.

    As seen in Wellingtonbridge, I presume the Accurascale offering is close enough or the same as what is seen in Ireland.

    Something a bit unusual for my workbench - a BR Class 24 for light weathering. Might need a touch more.

    Testing the ballast wagons tonight at South Dublin MRC.

    The way I do it, I usually apply with water and or Microset on a gloss surface. Wait to dry completely and apply Microsol to embed the decal in any details. Then leave for probably a day before sealing with varnish.

    Start of a possession to spread some freshly laid ballast on the bench test track.

    Thanks everyone for the replies, I've had the Elite for a long time now and there are definitely superior systems out there.

    I tried the loco on the NCE Powercab tonight and it ran fine. I have the Hornby Elite at home so I will try it on that again at the weekend. It had run fine on the Elite previously. I have read of this issue with the Loksound chip but not sure why it may have occurred now. Powercab might be on the list next!

    I have a Murphy Models 071 with MM sound chip in it (loksound V1.3) that won't move. The lights and sound work, but no movement from the motor. It works on DC and I have reset the chip (CV8=*8). Has anyone come across this?
  11. RobertRoche
    Thank you, it'll be another while before they are done.

    Main decals done tonight. Now have to design a few additional details, print and put on. Indoor lighting used and decals not sealed yet.

    I would take spare horns for 141/071, possibly detailing kits and handrails to have as spares.

    Thanks everyone...there is a lot of detail on them, and I'm going to have to print one or two extra decals for them also. I used Humbrol No. 69 acrylic on these as discovered somewhere else on this forum. It is not a direct match to the Bachmann model as it appears to be a touch lighter in person. I had not used Humbrol acrylics before and was not impressed...they sprayed nicely but 6 weeks after the final coat I am not sure that the paint has fully hardened. Will stick with Tamiya acrylics in the future, and Humbrol enamels.

    Starting on the decals from SSM. Bachmann offering in the back, repaint in the front.

    I was experimenting with printing my own decals this weekend using Mr Decal Paper. What are the options for making decals with white text on a clear background? The Wexford Bus has white text on the windows. If I was doing the speed van again, I would use decals for the chevrons and blue & yellow panels.

    Will PM you about the MK2Ds

    These guys seem to have a pretty cool job.

    Some very atmospheric shots there,, especially with the lone van in the yard. That is a lot of plasticard.

    I model the later era so I will stick with the IE version and look forward to all the other models that are coming down the tracks.
  24. RobertRoche
    First coat of yellow today. Another coat will hopefully bring it a bit closer to the Bachmann model.

    I am converting some flat top autoballasters to round top in preparation for painted into IÉ yellow. Some filing and filling and they should make it past the two foot rule.
