Robert Shrives Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Well my EGV landed and had a chance to look over, MM5603A , in IR livery it looks the part just need to fanny with roof vents - black wash and a dot of black on exhausts to make it look like it has a hole. I guess paint over the orange interiors - a bit lurid but at least it has an interior - any soul got phots of inside please. very please to see bogies are suitable of 21mm gauge and cleverly the brake block moulding can be reclipped to the outer spacing - neat design move. Very please to add coach to fleet - does take the "urgency" off finishing a couple of brass ones in the massive part started heap! Thanks to all involved in rerun and distribution. Robert 6 Quote
exciecoachbuilder Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Hi Robert, if this is any help, the inside of the MK 2 gen van was a fairly bleak affair. Roof to floor was panelled with galvinised steel panels and speckled two tone grey lino on the floor. Depending on how much you want to detail the inside? The only colour on the inside was, raw timber bits , eg, some door frames, any timber in the guards compartment, seat, writing table etc were painted signal grey, the folding gangway doors were painted signal red on the inside, and other stuff like fire extinguisher boxes and crowbar boxes were also painted signal red. Cheers Paul.... 3 4 Quote
raymurph Posted January 25 Posted January 25 @BosKonay do you know roughly when the new stock of MM mark2d EGV and Buffet car in IR livery will be arriving? I notice another retailer is also running low on their EGV stock and now I'm getting nervous of missing out a second time. This hobby is making me skittish. I may need some Prozac . Or an EGV. 1 Quote

Was due yesterday but just arrived - it will be mid morning by the time it's checked and counted it, and we'll get it on the website before lunch Quote
Robert Shrives Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Paul, Thanks for that. I guess doing interior gen set corridor walling in a light grey and black on the other side will calm down the orange currently visible. Thanks Robert 1 Quote

Thanks IRM for the free shipping and great to have had the sneaky extra stock come in last week too! 2 Quote
Wexford70 Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Had ordered a couple of the Murphy Models Galway Livery but sent them back, just unhappy with the livery finish as previously mentioned here and the fact the gangways were grey. Very disappointed. But full marks to IRM for their customer support. 1 1 Quote

Maybe @BosKonay could merge this Mk2D thread with the other one? Quote

As said elsewhere, small mistakes but at the price I would prefer to spend on IRM models. Edited January 31 by Wexford70 typo 1 Quote
Georgeconna Posted January 29 Posted January 29 (edited) Dunno where the spec came from but certainly not sprung buffers one the ones I received this Morning. Doubtful they are metal too. Have not run any but the Tension lock springs seem much more robust and less sloppy so fingers crossed they run a lot better. Used the Cash back on these too, Took a right ol chunk out of the total! Sweet. Better than the Lima ones though and pretty happy with them too. 3 hours ago, Wexford70 said: One of the other carriages was missing the logo on the doors.

I would certainly expect that but in due course. I would have thought Irish Mk11D's may be a bit down the line, considering the MM releases have probably put a dent in short to mid term demand (regardless as to them being an upgrade). 1 Quote

Buzzing with this, finally have some prototypical Irish stock to run behind 080! Coaches look fab, a great job from the man himself! Thanks to the IRM crew too, arrived well packaged and very quickly too!! P.S. ignore the auld English yoke on the platform and the mess of the place too..!
