Wanted/ Looking to buy Murphy,s 141, 181 or 071

[derek]

Hi, all. I notice that most on here have at least one of Murphy Models class 141, 181 or 071s. I, on the other hand have none. . Having come late to the party, the only Irish loco I have is  an IRM A class. Inoticed last week that Adrian came on here looking for an 071 with spectacular results, so I thought I would try my luck. Anyone know where I could lay my hands on a 141, 181 or 071?. I live in hope.

Rails of Sheffield have a few 141/181s pre-owned on their website at the moment: https://railsofsheffield.com/search?q=Murphy Models

However, if you're in the EU you'll get stung for duty/import charges

Its also worth noting that Murphy Models announced a new run of 141/181s at the MRSI Raheny show recently

Hi Derek,

Flying Snail is correct, however the delivery timeline is very uncertain, it could be a year away ?

You might try WRENNEIRE on here - "I know a man" - he was very helpful to me in acquiring two 181"s (as new, never run !). Like you, I'm relatively new to the hobby and missed the 141, 181, 201 models.

Emailed Murphys about a possible rerun of the 141/181 and they replied saying that a rerun is in progress , DELIVERY 2023. Hopefully "sooner rather than later". Thanks to Paddy at Murphys for that. Imight have to hold on.
