    Nothing wrong with 233. But what most people on this forum don’t understand is that when a safety system fault occurs, it’s a service failure, end of. Safety is paramount. I wish all the experts would join the railway!

    208 wasn’t removed in Dublin initially. 208 was sent north on the 16.50 which was duly failed at Clongriffin. Eventually returning back to Connolly where 208 was then removed and replaced with 209.

    I would imagine there’s more bubbles of rust below their paintwork than cement bubbles behind 183! I cleaned of a fair bit of the original factory weathering very carefully with IPA. Then from memory just a little airbrushing to blend everything together.

    It would have been interesting if one of the large box shifters had acquired Heljan would the same concerns been expressed by them! The simple fact is people are purchasing more carefully. Put a Murphy Models 071 online at £159 direct sale or from the local model shop at £239 and I have a funny feeling who will sell out first!

    161 is replaced by a couple of 121's on the ballast turn.

    So much here is thanks to Paddy Murphy. We have so many excellent models thanks to this man.

    Sorry to hear this. I will never forget the one and only time I met him. After a long day walking round the Warley show at the NEC I met this small man walking the other direction. I said to him “are you Paddy Murphy?” Well as they say the rest is history. He dragged me in to Starbucks and out of this small bag came undecorated samples of the 121’s. For the next 3/4 of an hour I got a run down on the challenges the 121 represented to get right. A marvellous insight. Condolences to all the family at this difficult time.

    Stop the teasing and get it on my layout now! Love it. What about a MV and a 80 to go with it!
