Wow, cracking price for fabulous coaches that stand up well today!

Just out of curiosity, did 141’s ever haul the Mk2A/B/C coaches on a regular basis, or was it just the larger locos like 071’s and 201’s?

Yes they were hauled by 121/141/181 locos. As per the picturebelow from Jonathan Allen’s collection on Flickr.

Had a look at that FlickR link and there are several pictures of the 141’s / 181’s hauling the Mk2A/B/C stock.

I had no idea.

Interesting pictures. In the first picture the coach behind the loco is a MK2A and in the second picture the first and third coaches are MK2A's.  So the Murphy Models/Bachmann MK2A model which is the only RTR Irish model of this coach ever produced is a must for anyone wishing to complete a train consisting of MK2A/B/C coaches.
