murphaph Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Hi all, I have 3 of the black roofed Murphy mk2d's in IE livery. I would like to swap these for 3 with orange roofs. If there's any interest feel free to PM me. Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dangerous Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Would you not use Evan as a broker? He'd definitely get you a great price when re-selling them. Knows just which buttons to push. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRENNEIRE Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 It always amazes me that people run one coloured roofs only on rakes of coaches Best rake of Mk 2's I ever saw had both black and orange roofed coaches and a Galway restaurant stuck in the middle Live dangerously people! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I don't think the rooves had been painted black for @murphaph's chosen era, they were still orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the roof colour even visible under all the dirt?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphaph Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 Yeah I "model" 1994/1995 (though I may make an exception and allow a 1992 mail train some day!). No black or grey roofs and no Galway livery yet at that stage. The coaches were kept reasonably clean. The orange roofs were even clearly visible on the EGVs most of the time. Living dangerously for me is mixing IR and IE stock together lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
