    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Not from Cork, but from Wexford

    Yep it's the large green building as shown in the above photo - accessed off Knocklyon Road. When you turn off Knockylon Road there is a narrow lane with a height restriction barrier across it - head down the lane and the club house is at the end.

    Thanks Railer, very helpful!

    How many plough vans did Iarnród Éireann have? I'm modelling 2000-present, presumably I'll want the IÉ pack? Unless there was some overlap in liveries for my time period - would anyone know?
