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.

They do sit very well together, the Murphy / Bachmann Mk2A’s with the A/S / IRM Mk2B/C’s.

The A/S / IRM IE livery Mk2’s have to be one of the best model coaches of the last few years, and the Murphy Bachmann models don’t look out of place beside them.

Not surprised, given the likely price range for future Irish coaches.

Somebody nabbed themselves a bargain, there.
