  1. OMG! Had a look at the pre-production model of the 071 in Marks Models. You may have not thought it possible but, it's far superior to anything that Murphy Models has done before. You have to go and see it for yourself.
  2. 85% is good enough for me. I have an old Lima CIE set from the 70s and that was 0.99%
  3. Thanks Warbonnet! Only for you I wouldn't have known that it's on display. I'll be rushing over there tomorrow (Thursday 17th inst.).
  4. I'm really a big fan of the current Silver and Black livery. It's most likely that they will sell the quickest, however, there will be a big demand for the the Supertrain livery version if it is numbered 071. I bought 6 of the weathered 141/181s in the IR/IÉ liveries but, I wouldn't advise Paddy to release any weathered versions of the 071s, especially, after seeing the fantastic job some of you guys can do.
  5. Was it not in the too distant past that Murphy Models Lima Class 201s were fetching well in excess of €200? I think the items that 590004 has on offer are of far superiour quality and the prices are reasonable.
  6. Saw the pre-production in Mark's Models also, they really are impressive. I'll certainly be getting some to go with my 071s.
  7. The weathering is class and it adds a bit of realism to the model.
  8. Ah! I'm not that desperate to see new photos, those posted by the Model Shop Belfast will suffice. The one thing which I like about the new model is that the handrails seem to be a little more robust than those on the class 141/181 models and the detail of the light clusters are far superior.
  9. Love the photos of the Class 071/111 loco model. Howcome there are neither any up to date photos on the Murphy Models website nor and pre-production model to view in Marks Models? The IR livery used to be my favourite but I really love the 071 in the silver and black. Can't wait to get my hands on them, I'm going to purchase 10 (I'll have to say goodbye to my holiday and new [saorview ready] tv this year.
