Hornby do make some great models. As for quality the only locomotive I can judge is their class 50. I have had them since the first ones were released in 2002/03. Eighteen of them later and have never had a problem. All of them are run regularly and they are super smooth and quiet and will pull 50 coaches if you have the room. They don’t meet the latest lighting functions you can find on recent releases but they are a good sound model. Hornby do make a range of models to suit different budgets but an example is the Class 66. I wouldn’t entertain buying one but I do know that a local modelshop that sold bucket loads recently with all the different liveries released. Everyone has a desired standard and thankfully we are all different!

These wagons again certainly look impressive. Congratulations to all at IRM. I am trying hard to resist and will just have to purchase another A Class with the cash before I weaken !! Its great that the Irish model scene has so many options now.

Thanks. They are not 100% pro typical but I picked them up a few years ago cheap so they will have to do!

Some Class 66, 68 & 70 action from Kings Sutton
NIRCLASS80 replied to NIRCLASS80's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
I was just down in the Cotswolds for a short break and came across to Kings Sutton to see a Class 68 in action. Really nice location, quiet and lots of parking. -
Thanks to everyone for the support.

I think it might have been 071 and 078 in the grey release.

Here’s a little quote from RMWeb made by our IRM friends! A hint of things to come! Fran 6,067 Posted 1 hour ago They mainly went on the backs of HGVs but were transported for a time on flat wagons. We don’t do the appropriate wagon yet...

I have always removed numbers from Murphy Models by just heavy rubbing with a wooden cocktail stick occasionally dipped in some IPA. Start in the centre of the number until you see the print starting to lift.

Would love a rake of IR MK2d’s. Count me in for 7.

Thanks. Yeah I am well aware of the coach type not running on NIR but it’s more about representation of a train than a accurate model. Added the stripe above the windows.
