Thanks very much Gareth for clarifying that. It needed to be clarified by yourself, Seamus, or Dave as you are the people that would be able to make people aware of the release program. I hope now that everyone is getting excited and can't wait to get their wallets out.

What about none sound decoders ???

Are they the same as the 201's.??

Or can you use any such as the Lenz silver etc.

Ta,

Wiggy.

[Retro Herbie]

See no reason why not, ive been mainly test running it with the sound decoder to make sure everything on the decoder is running as it should be. If a get a min over the weekend ill pop in a lenz and test it

Runs perfectly fine with a Lenz Silver, Hornby Sapphire (with an 8-21pin adaptor) and Bachmann 21pin

[BosKonay]

Is it a 21 pin socket Seamus?

[Dave]

Will the sound decoders and speakers be on sale in Raheny?

[djkonore]

I believe the speaker is already incorporated into the design, you'll only need a sound chip. That's what I've been told anyway. It's located under the roof grill.

[BosKonay]

Yes, the speaker is pre-fitted - apparently it's a lovely bass reflex jobbie too!

[Marks Models]

The Murphy Models standard decoder should be available in Raheny but the sound decoder is not quite ready yet we beleive. Murphy models will be present demonstrating a pre-production sound decoder.

so literally we just drop in the sound chip and thats it?

[BosKonay]

Apparently so !

[djkonore]

I think the Belfast Model Shop have a sound decoder for an 071, probably ready right now. It's most likely a Zimo. I'm sure I saw a demo video of it somewhere in a black non-painted prototype 071

That's the one!

It sounds the nuts, I'm getting one to go on the freight version

[WRENNEIRE]

Good news is #071 & #082 have cleared customs. Bad news is #112 is 2 days late arriving(slow boat FROM China?).

But there will be stock of all 3 locos for the show,.

Please note there is a sales embargo until noon on Saturday, when the class 071 will be officially launched at the show..

We also expect to have Cl.071 DCC chips available.

[Broithe]

On my other Forum, I've just been complaining that the Christmas lights were on in our town last night - somehow, it doesn't seem so out-of-place now..

[RedRich]

The launching of the models at the show is a great idea. It will make for one memorable show.

 

Rich,

[irishrail123]

The launch of the 201 was very good, but i am sure this one will be even better! Looking forward to get them and let them pull some beet cravens etc :-)

[NIRCLASS80]

For NIR 2 days late is still within "The Passengers Charter" targets for ontime performance!

[enniscorthyman]

Oh I have waited so long for this Weekend,and levels

of happyness are gathering a pace.

[skinner75]

Just as well I get paid this weekend! Won't make it to the show though, so I'll have to order them online

[BosKonay]

Just to help the anticipation, here are shots of the livery that should be avail at the show!!!!

I think the model will fulfill a lot of peoples dreams as it was always at the top of a lot of peoples list's for their favorite Irish mainline diesel loco.

 

Rich,

[irishthump]

Spare a thought for those of us that are waiting for the SUpertrain livery...

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

I think the model will fulfill a lot of peoples dreams

Rich,

 

I don't think it will fulfil dreams after all its only a toy but it will be well received by the Irish model railway community
