201bhoy Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 It's all gone very quiet with the 201 news... I can't wait to get my 220 back after being weathered by model shop belfast! 1
BosKonay Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 There are a few more 201's due. NIR blue and older enterprise liveries I think.
201bhoy Posted April 17, 2012 Author Posted April 17, 2012 Yea I think it's two more although I initially thought it was three more and there was going to be an enterprise livery like 207's current one...

201bhoy Posted April 18, 2012 Author Posted April 18, 2012 Lovely videos... I love your video with 203 and the mk2s and 071 and the mk3s. Anyone know when the next 201s are coming out?
waffles Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 The 201s are in the shade because of all the attention being thrown at the new 071s , give people a chance to buy the one they want and not have the panic of being the first to have one. The model is fantastic especally when compared with the original lima one or the kit from mir, remember the excitement when both of these came out, Paddy has left us spoiled for choice and that is something that we would have not been able to dream of 15 years ago.
aramand Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 I posted this question in the 'photo' thread of the MM201 which was probably the wrong place so I'll try here Got a new MM201 at the weekend but I notice that the wheels rub off the back of the coupling when going around even the 3rd radius (Hornby R609) curves when there are no coaches on - the couplings are spring loaded so are at their furthest back point without any load. Is this normal ? Overall its a fantastic model and I put the MM DCC chip into it also which is great. I know I should have bigger curves but limited space at the moment and lucky to be able to have this size!
201bhoy Posted April 30, 2012 Author Posted April 30, 2012 Yeah, I think I've that problem too ,it's really annoying! Out of interest which one is it?
aramand Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 I got #201 - second hand but never run so effectively new : Here she is sitting with the rest of the fleet starting to expand but a long way to go to catch up with some folks on here ! BTW excuse the layout, its only temporary and actually sitting on what should be the dining room table! hence the lack of space to have bigger curves.
BosKonay Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Layout looks good Aramand! Maybe stick up some shots in the layout area?!
BosKonay Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 229 awaits its next duty (weathering from RetroHerbie at modelshopbelfast )
RedRich Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Looks very nice Stephen not over cooked just right. Rich,
Retro Herbie Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 As with most of my Irish weathering I use Ciaran's excellent eiretrains.com website for photos to base the weathering on, absolutely brilliant resource. Heres the picture the weathered loco is based on
Guest hidden-agenda Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 He's good isn't he? Wait till you see Anto,s weathered 201,s in the flesh they will blow you away. Nice job Retro.
201bhoy Posted May 8, 2012 Author Posted May 8, 2012 I've seen pictures of his 220, it's class isn't it? We're spoilt for choice on here!
enniscorthyman Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Lovely weathering alright.It really makes the model. 1
heirflick Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 [ATTACH=CONFIG]484[/ATTACH] thats as close to the real thing as you will ever see! 1
201bhoy Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 [ATTACH=CONFIG]484[/ATTACH] thats as close to the real thing as you will ever see! How about this?
josefstadt Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 229 and 220, two stunning examples of the art of weathering. Thanks for sharing them. 1
connollystn Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 The weathering is class and it adds a bit of realism to the model. 1
201bhoy Posted May 16, 2012 Author Posted May 16, 2012 [ATTACH=CONFIG]490[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]491[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]492[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]493[/ATTACH] Boskonay your 229 is famous, it's the build my railway cover photo!
Warbonnet Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 [ATTACH=CONFIG]490[/ATTACH] I adore this pic. Excellent work on the loco, layout and photography!
201bhoy Posted May 25, 2012 Author Posted May 25, 2012 Any idea when Old Enterprise livery hits the shops? I wish I did... if you look at the other posts apparently it's been postponed until further notice as al of Murphy Models attention has been switched to the 071
irishrail123 Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Any idea when Old Enterprise livery hits the shops? From what i heard the last 201's wont come out until after the first 071!
