DJ Dangerous Posted April 9 Posted April 9 Also in the email from Rails of Sheffield, aside from the 071 / 111 Class info, was this, Murphy models 201's due 2025. 4 Quote
Flying Snail Posted April 9 Posted April 9 I've just seen the email too. Great to see the 071s on the way later this year - I had thought they'd be behind the 201s given that that 201 liveries had been announced before 1 1 Quote

Was it you who said that the pricing was going to be around €250 per loco, or am I confused? Does anybody here who has Paddy's ear know what the spec will be, regarding decoder access etc? Will existing 201 decoders work in the new batch? Would seem a bit mad if they didn't, as there'd be a lot of confusion further down the line. Quote

They and the 071 should be identical to the last batches. Quote

It will be 80 years since the foundation of CIE on 1st Jan next - wouldn't it be a nice way to celebrate the anniversary by putting out a real-life 201 in a lined green livery with flying snail logo? Maybe some of the IE employees on here can stick that in the suggestion box next time they're passing the Board Room? 1 1 Quote

Any of our resident livery-editing genii who can slap IRM's A42 and A46 liveries onto 201's so we can compare??? 1 1 Quote

The only addition to the 141s seems to have been the addition of a speaker with no improvement in the very tedious access to the innards. Some people will feel let down that MM is continuing to use long paid for decades old tooling for in the 141s and seemingly now in other reruns, despite doubling the price point without any demonstrable intent to improve or modernize the model. I purchased some of the new 141s, but I have many of the original 071s and 201s in hand. I’m gonna be waiting cautiously for the price point on these, am certainly not going to be selling any of the original stock for ‘new’ 201s. For anyone who does want one though, I think some photos of the liveries prior to purchasing would be essential especially given the color variations on previous MM coaching stock. 1 Quote
Darren.d Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Iv no 201s not my era .70s is my time but ill still buy a couple of these and new 071s just to have the liveries.bought an 071 last year and wasn't cheap at all. Quote

I remember the owner numbered is 213 because that was the one named river not that flowed through foxford and ballina, where he was hoping this livery would by applied to 201s! Quote
