NIRCLASS80

Just brilliant. Happy Christmas. 

PM sent.

No problem Paul.  I have no idea when the windows being blanked out dates from but I will PM you a name of a local Ballymena railway buff who might be able to help.  It used to be great sitting in the cabin with the tablet exchange bell drowning out the sound of the church bells of St Patrick's as they practised during the evening.  Bliss!

How's the survey going lads. It must be a completely different survey to the one on here a while back relating to Irish models numbers wise, and choices of models due to the sheer number of prototypes to choose from. I have an interest in BR myself having lived in London during the late 80's, especially Hoover's in NSE and  EMU's. Looking forward to seeing which models get produced and making a purchase to support Accurascale.

Rich,

An accurate Class 50 would declare me bankrupt!!!

NIRclass80, is that the actual signal box?

Dave, thank you for the comments. 

 

Paul

Yes that's it in 1990. 

Fantastic looking cabin. You need a 40 lever frame for the interior!!

I always vowed not to buy these as they are way out of my time frame but those photos are starting to weaken my resistance!!!😄

Look stunning. 

Just about to make a new start on my first fictious Irish layout after more than 20 years of North American modelling. Wish me luck I will need it

Look fantastic lads. Can't wait for the first four packs to be delivered now!!

Hope those fortunate enough to attend the show this weekend might be able to get an update on the Murphy Models 121. 

Also the buffers stick out more meaning on small and medium radius curves buffer locking can occur.

Do you know when the mail order ones will be dispatched?

I think if you send an email to the RPSI stating what you want they will send you a paypal invoice for the money.

I have already tried that route and was promptly informed that filling out the form, posting it along with payment to the RPSI Dublin address was the only option.

Looks steady as a rock, or should that be cement!!

Can't wait for these now. Great work.

If the second set are produced could Murphy models simply supply a brass etch that could be fitted over the relevant Windows by the modeller. It would keep the price similar and no one could expect Murphy to modify molds for just one coach.

Great looking wagons once again, amazing. Hope Richie doesn't get too good at this or he will get head hunted by one of the big boys;)

As far as I know they do recycle them Rich!

 

 

 

It does indeed Gareth. No more Kinder Eggs, turned sweeping brush handles, self assembly, incorrect Dapol chassis and castings varying in quality. The detail underneath alone is something to behold.

Great stuff

Does that mean no more Kinder Eggs Express on Irish layouts

Very easy to spend a lot of money! Also, if shopping is your forte the 0 Gauge Trade Show at Reading is a great way to sort out your Christmas list. First Saturday December.

By the by, Arigna Town is booked to attend at both Telford and Warley next year.

When you see someone handing over a bank/credit card and paying £2750 for one locomotive it makes OO gauge seem not so bad!!

Made a visit myself. Great show but forgot to take any pics

Great to see a manufacturer being open to ideas, one of the advantages of having genuine modellers at the heart of it all.

I personally would prefer a RTR rake of fertiliser wagons than the plough. Rake of 10 "ferts" made to IRM standards would be awesome!

Interesting times ahead. Keep up the great work.

The shiny new wagons be Ballymena may well be condemned before they turn a wheel!! Long story

Looking great. Lovely atmosphere you have created,well done.

I would love to see a video on weathering the ballast wagons to the effect of the ones shown on your website/Facebook account.
