    Well done Eamonn on excellent work in spite of 'flu, work and impending events.

    The full Bass Reflex speaker is worth adding for depth of sound for 141/071 and 201. However, particularly with the 141, a fair amount of the lead weight has to be filed down (take care as this substance is toxic). It is a bit easier with the 071 but in both cases the speaker will intrude into the cab area. Adding a driver figure can mask this but the cab light in the 071 will not be visible with the larger speaker intruding.

    Not to mention the IrishFreightModels Laminates in Green and in Black/Tan when they become available.

    There are two great DVDs on the CB&SCR including elegaic music in the background as the rails are lifted. Worth a look as the quality of images is amazing given how long ago they were taken!

    Thank you - this is a handpainted kit provided by the now defunct Model Irish Railways in resin form. The transfer vinyls provided with the kit included yellow numerals and flying snails lined in black. Here are a few other photos of 121 taken on my layout Ballybeg by Enniscorthyman.

    Green laminates in standard and brake variants to replace MM non-prototypical green carriages would be nice along with a black/tan/single white stripe laminate standard to break up the cravens/park royal rake!

    It may also be the case that Bo-Bo (4X4) bogies are inherently more suited to model running compared to Co-Cos (6X6) in OO?

    Don't forget the early 121s in grey/yellow livery had front and back flying snails in yellow edged with black....

    Great work in brass there Eamonn.

    Note that Mr Soundguy now has a website with videos of his Irish sound projects: see http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/forumdisplay.php/60-Mr-Soundguy

    A string of these with Bell containers will look great behind a Supertrain loco!

    The Carlow Station building is a good example of the many fine architectural artefacts on Irish railways. Alphagraphix do a range of card kits of other stations/other Irish railway buildings but the resin models are very good. I have a number of station models that I can alternate on my model railway "Ballybeg" at home or at exhibitions. I have purchased a Carlow model for adaptation into "Ballybeg" livery!

    Are the 141 chassis available separately from MM now?
  19. Irishrailwayman
    Nice video Eamonn.
  20. Irishrailwayman
    I'll put together a video with Eamonn once Ballybeg is reassembled (in the garage at present while the railway room is repainted!).

    I have fitted DCC Loksound soundchips to two of Murphy Models N Class locos. There is room in the coal tender to fit an 8-pin socket, sound chip and a Bass Reflex speaker (facing down to the track). I even managed two LED oil lamps on front which work regardless of direction of travel! I used the sound project from Southwest Digital which is quite impressive with a coasting feature. A third MM N Class I fitted with a non-sound chip. No room unfortunately for smoke units but these can be difficult to get to work properly.
  22. Irishrailwayman
    Might be a good way to kick start the 121 model (5 liveries)

    Plans in place to have a green/black Park Royal among the green coaches!

    , When visiting Llangollen a few years ago I purchased two CDs with Diesel and Steam Railway Station background sounds costing £9.99 each. They are produced by Taliesin Studios qt 2 Meiron House, Tan-Y-Grisau, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd, North Wales (UK) LL41 3SU.Tel 00-44-1766 830159 e-mail sales@taliesin-consultants.com.

    I understand that Mr Soundguy is planning reprogramming (reblows in the jargon). See also new post on his 071 Zimo soundchip: http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/3635-sound-chips?p=59009#post59009
