Adrian Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 Thanks to this gentleman @flange lubricator I am now the proud owner of my first 071, a lifelong ambition. It's a stunning loco and I am delighted, also picked up a 141 and 181 from him when we met for coffee. Proud to show it off next to the recently completed weathered concrete hardstands at my fledgling depot layout and my growing Irish collection That's the budget busted for now, but I'll be back looking for more in February...maybe March actually 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeye Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 That's a nice group. I was looking at my 073 yesterday and I thought they are nicely weathered especially around the bogies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely be doing some weathering practicing on other locos next year and will give it some touch ups, but it's a great base to work on 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I also desperately looking for a Murphy models class 071. Can’t understand why they didn’t make more. Any help would be greatly appreciated 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeye Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 You never know, they could be next on the list, but don't hold your breath. I would like a grey one. Never liked them at first but now they have grown on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as MM keep operations as far as I know the 071s will make a comeback….only issue is the list is long! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 They're out there alright - my best advice is to keep an eye on ebay (maybe setup an automated alert for the search) and be prepared to pay fast and pay high. You should be budgeting about £350 sterling cos that's what they're going for these days. Since this post I have been able to seriously expand my fleet using ebay and a layout update for Riverbank is well over due - watch this space over the next few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Funny how the pricing differs on the different platforms. €275 to €350 on Adverts.ie €350 to €450 on eBay £120 to £130 from Hattons Except for the NIR and freight grey limited runs, which will be even more expensive as there were only a half-run of each. Two on eBay at the moment... 082: https://www.ebay.es/itm/175497706929 073: https://www.ebay.es/itm/115609751791 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
