New Murphy 201s from Rails?

[Mol_PMB]

Just spotted this on Rails website:

There are a couple of Enterprise liveries listed too, but not illustrated. No orange ones (yet). 
I wonder if this is an indication that Rails have taken over the Murphy projects?

Hmm yes interesting, recently I tried ordering a MM coach from Rails that was listed but when I placed the order, and paid for it, I then got an automatic message to say it was out of stock and they need to resupply the item and it would be delayed, eventually I got an email saying they could not fulfill the order so refunded me.

It’s possible that it’s an error like that, which is why I titled the post with a question mark. But the 2027/2028 delivery dates suggest it is a future item rather than a long-lost one.

Yes, the time frame is a bit off putting. All of 27 and all of 28

More chance of IRM/Accurascale taking over any future Murphy models projects rather than Rails,

I personally don’t hold out much hope on any forthcoming MM projects since the passing of the legend that was Paddy Murphy. RIP

I hope I’m proved wrong……

I tend to agree. But these seem to have just popped up on the Rails website. 
Hopefully someone can provide clarification.

These have been on the Rails website for around 2 years. Long before Paddy sadly died.
