Went for the Black roof ones myself.

Had the whole lot of coach options selected and the total price 6 month payout was a sobering 180 per month so cut back a tad. Have to eat too!!

When I started the Irish stuff it was just a 141 and a couple of cravens running around a Country Terminus I had in Mind. 

 

The slippery slope is now a near vertical ski jump..  but just sit back and enjoy the ride.  The Country Terminus can now enjoy a Friday only extra from Dublin.

Maybe Phase 1 & 2? (SO is just standard open I guess)

I'd be interested to know the correct answer too.

Interesting question alright: if it is phase 1 and 2 perhaps that refers to the batch they were manufactured in originally in the UK? Just speculating because the Ph.1 have higher running numbers ...

In the Description on your site 

Mk.2c Ph2 SO (ex-FO) 4103 Black Roof
Mk.2c Ph2 SO (ex-FO) 4104 Black Roof
Mk.2c Ph2 SO (ex-FO) 4105 Black Roof
Mk.2b Buffet (ex-FK) 4402 Orange Roof

 

Aha!

There are two "phases" of Mk.2c coach, those with large GM roof vents and large toilet window (phase 1) and with Roe-Vac roof vents and smaller "air con" style toilet windows with no vent (phase 2). IR had mostly Phase 2 with a single Phase 1 vehicle. 

So in this case its the original build phase of the coaches nothing to do with us :)

The NIR coaches are due relatively soon, and these IE packs are in the next batch

That was a long wait for these, considering they were supposed to be shipped in Q3 of 2023!

I had a 10 year wait for a locomotive once. These things take time to design, test, tweak, refine, test, get right and hand made. Just the nature of the beast unfortunately!

Getting psyched for these babies, specially after the NIR ones arriving the other day!

Question on the bogies. Do any of these have B5's or is it all B4's?
