Personally I just hope they have a chat at MM and say "fuck it we will do a re run off everything"

Followed by the best reasonable explanation ever "for the craic" 

In all seriousness though if they do decide to continue what sort of timeline would you expect for something new.

Mrk2ds etc obviously wouldn't take very long. 

This thread reminds me of this photo I seen earlier

There still there not unless I'm seeing a different set 

Is it possible for one seller to have a second account or more and possibly putting up the price ?

Return the loco to Murphy Models

He has nothing to do all day long, just sitting on his arse waiting for delivery of the 121's

I spoke with him today and he would be delighted to solve your problem

How do I get it to him .. does he have shop or anything

The part circled needs to be installed when running on DC, or it needs to be removed and replaced with a digital decoder when running on DCC. Make sure it is installed correctly and is in contact with all the pins. There is a right way and a wrong way to put it in.

Seemingly this is why loco isn't running on dc it was as you can see from the messages above and then whatever I did it just stopped no power nothing and am completely lost to what is wrong I give it to this guy who is running am electrical shop in athlone called I be fix it he is the one who told me this is what's wrong fisrt he sent me photo of blanking chip then I got my mate to talk to him (because he recommended him) I couldn't get answer of him and he told him this is what is wrong and sent the above photo and now wants €10 for nothing

You're not the buddy of Ray Canole in Cork per chance, Can be to many modellers up that Direction?

When I was in Marks Models a few years there was a Familty from Ferbane that used to come into the shop picking up the odd railway bits?

No couldn't say I do there is non that I'm aware off anyway only that one guy in endenderry and I don't even know him.

I have it back now and the guy who thought he could fix it wants a €10  for diagnosis im still no further informed if what's wrong......anybody know thae process off sending it to Mark's models not unless thiers anybody around about offaly willing to have a look 

This is the part what's gone could somebody explain what it is and where I'd get another one 

No I'm in Ireland.. Ferbane Co.Offaly I'd say I'm only one in entire county west side if it anyway that's interested in model railway. I know there is dave linfield think that's his name in endenderry that's only person I can see that's anywhere near me.

The guy repairs phones and electronics so a mate mine recommended him so I'm holding him half responsible to try sort the mess.

I gave it to a guy in a electrical shop and he did try meter on pick ups nd motor and now I'm not sure what's up waiting for him to get back to me.

Kinda regret giving it now but didnt know what to do was considering giving it to Mark's models but changed my mind after I emailed them looking to buy products they had in thier shop and online and they never responded after I requested a invoice so decided not to.

Is it possible for these to short out ? 

It was running on dc and I was just testing it but I noticed there was another loco on the track so I pulled it up and it hadn't been working since that.

So I gave it to a guy who has a electrical shop he was checking it over with volt meter trying to fault find he thought it might have been a short circuit  and he came back with the decoder socket isnt working from what I understood.

I have asked him again what was wrong to get better idea.

That's photo he sent me

Does anybody know where I can get a replacement or what to do now as I have a non runner.

Can I just bypass this and wire a decoder to the motor?

Was actually looking at a few of the real things today, I might have a crack at them after a couple of other projects

I actually dont see them that much and I live in heart of all things bord na mona. How will you make them 3d printing or find something  simular and modify them ?

Looking for something simular to these in 00 gauge

Any mark 2s or 2ds .. 201s

Fir anyone that is interested

Theres some lima CIE loco for sale on Facebook marketplace 

Thanks 

Unfortunately there isnt really an appetite for model railway here In offaly or anywhere within a reasonable distance that i know off even the Midlands railway club discontinued and there gone to portlaoise mens shed.

Now I do know theres guy who builds layouts in endenderry but hes super busy. 

Anyways I'll there eventually 

Using one as scenery would be great if I didn't pay €100 for each probably bit more for one because I bought 3 galway livery coaches with it.

I know my fault for buying a overpriced paperweight as most advanced and experienced moddlers call them.

In all honesty if you see from my side I'm only starting so with limited money because being from Midlands a living wage for a trades person is crap I want to get most out off what I have.

I don't want this message to come across as arrogant or anything I appreciate the help.

Cant you transform Liam's into dcc loco's ? 

Thier are two railway trading groups on Facebook one irish and one uk/European the European group domt seem to hold back on telling you whats good and value for money plus the admin is engaging so you could message him privately.. be warned I have seen a guy try sell some weathered locos and it didn't take long for the experts too take hold off the comments section on his advert admin included 

Where are all the coaches stored over winter ?

Yea same as myself theres a point where line has to be drawn.. I haven't clue off value of whats out there
