Used a Lenz silver+ it fits in the tender. There’s enough space in there for a sugar cube speaker alright, but those N class were not the most smooth low speed runners. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like three plus the DVT. Not a bad price considering the price that the SIlver Fox Mk3's and DVT's retail at - and they don't seem to be planning any more batches of DVT's at the moment. The MM ones could be a couple of years away, yet, as that was a huge announcement by MM, surely several years worth of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 How are coaches that were for sale RRP in Ireland one year ago for €58, now worth €150 now? They are not even in the much sought after IR/IE Livery! Cant tell if this was from the release batches in ST livery with the QC paint issues or from the later corrected batches. Anyway MM have new IR/IE (ie with the tippex white stripes) in the pipeline planned for release later this year or early next year. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Murphy-Models-MM5214-Mk2D-Standard-Coach-5214-CIE-Orange-Black-Irish-Railways/353413187009?hash=item52491145c1:g:lU8AAOSwvPpgT42N 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murphaph Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Yeah it looks great. Noel, did you respray the whole thing or just add the white lines and weather it? In real life it looks like they often added the lining and left the coach in service for years sometimes. There are lots of photos of rakes where the odd coach is obviously just ST golden brown with white lines rather than orange. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) A full respray isn't necessarily needed. This EGV was from the original "bad" batch of Supertrain Mk2d's. I just resprayed the roof and both ends black, then added the white lining which was a decal. Quick and easy job, although the weathering took a little longer.

In real life it looks like they often added the lining and left the coach in service for years sometimes. There are lots of photos of rakes where the odd coach is obviously just ST golden brown with white lines rather than orange. This one was done by Seamus Graham using a galway donor. It had to be stripped down and whole thing had to be resprayed after a rub down and being primed all over. The Galway livery is not convertible. Personally I prefer masking and painting the white stripes (usually reverse masking but not always) as I just cannot get whitehat stripe transfers to go on as straight and precise as painted ones, and my OCD cannot tolerate anything off square or not laser dead straight. Wavey lines and any kinks that appear in my trackwork drive me crazy and are sent for execution immediately. Orange roofed mk2d's in IE/IR tipped livery used to be much sought after about 6 years ago, like gold dust, but now the Supertrain livery EGVs would make a better and quicker donor as he white stripes could easily be added either by painting or transfers in the hands of somebody with the experience to make them absolutely 100% dead straight. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see ao much modern stock on your layout! IE era everywhere, current era Mk4 resprays, an ever-increasing grey 071 fleet. I'll bet you have about ten yellow weedspray trains that you only run when the cameras are off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be better off spending your cash on a few extra A's or 121's, then swapping them for what you want in a year or two, when they themselves go for extortionate prices.

Even Hattons are now gouging, with second-hand SuperTrain Mk2D's priced at £65 STG each... And selling out in a few hours at that price.
