Gentle Jayzus, that photo would stop yer heart. Mr Murphy's latest oeuvre is a cluckin' masterpiece.

[Grange Castle]

Thats more of a layout than I have, mine is all in boxes having never seen the light of day !

I'd make sure that door is double locked and you key on the inside, don't want anyone coming in and stomping on your new 071 !

[irishrail123]

No one will go near my 071's. I dont even allow my parents to touch any of my models in case they drop it or something Here's the full track... room is just made for it! Gotta love blue tack as well... keeps the track sticked quite well! Sorry for going offtopic, cant wait to get the 071's and let it pull a nice beet train or cravens

The most important thing is running your locos and having fun. I could have hours of fun with that setup, and that is the most important thing.

 

Rich,

[Weshty]

Richie,

That is so true. A loop and a set of points. Heaven.

[WRENNEIRE]

The 071's have landed and are being sorted as we speak

All the 112's but only half of the 071/082's

The rest wont be here till second half of November

Dont know whether to post pics or not

Maybe leave some anticipation, nay excitement for the weekend

Official launch at midday on Saturday at the MRSI show

[Sulzer201]

The locos appear to be a great price at 159.99 - is this only an online/special offer price, or will it be the regular price in the model shops? It is great value for such a detailed model. Will it be the freight and NIR liveries out first and are they expected in local model shops after the long weekend? Sorry about all the questions but would anyone also know the total cost in Euro of a 071/111 bought complete with sound chip and ready to growl? Thanks in advance.

[WRENNEIRE]

Dont know anything about the €159.99 locos

RRP for these locos is €174.99

Some deals may be had at the show but not sure what they are

No sound available at the moment but there will be some DCC display at the Murphy Model stand

 

Have to post a pic, I cant hold me water!!!

Spot the missing box P?

[Glenderg]

Spot the missing box P?

 

Yeah, the one that say's "Freebie Loco's for the IRM forum fan bois"

[Dave]

Ah Dave stop, I feel like a child before Christmas! Marks Models and The Model Shop are doing them for €159.99.

From his own hand Dave:

 

 

 

SRP for #071 is €174.95. DCC chip 36.95. sound chip tba.

[BosKonay]

Nyom!!!

 

 

Is the box a funny shape? Or the same dimensions as the 201?

[enniscorthyman]

Thanks for posting up photos Dave,as even just having

a look at the boxes is fab.Hope to chat to you on Saturday.

[WRENNEIRE]

Nyom!!!

 

 

Is the box a funny shape? Or the same dimensions as the 201?

About 4mm shorter but the rest of the dimensions are the same

[RedRich]

Thanks for the pics Dave they are whetting the appetite even more. Only another 37 hours to go. The boxes do look to be shorter than the 201 boxes which makes sense.

 

Rich,

[Railer]

The Model Shop rang me this afternoon confirming the price of €159.99 for the first 3 071/111s only and it is a limited time offer. I was told that they didn't get their full allocation of deliveries and are looking after the pre-orders first. 082 and 112 with my name on them are getting sent out tomorrow. Should have them Tuesday, possibly Wednesday at the latest with the Bhol weekend.

 

May drop down to the show over the weekend and get 071 if there are any left as I can't wait now.

Thanks Dave, Railer etc - price aside, they really do look the business and can't wait to get one.

Richie,

Just to clarify the pricing issue: We have a special introductory offer of €159.99 for all 3 locos and as stated by Railer it is a TIME LIMITED OFFER. So get in early and save yourself €15!!!!!

Looking forward to catching up with you tomorrow Des. I can't wait to see B109 in the flesh. A fully built and painted kit of the model will put it up there with the best. I've been watching it's devolpment since it's inception and it has come so far in such a quick time. Another 24 hours and 14 minutes to go.

Rich,

 

Did you buy the ill fated old Millennium clock for the big countdown to tomorrow Rich?

[Sulzer201]

Seamus well done on that price and it really is exceptional value for a superb looking model.

[RedRich]

I know Fran I can't help it. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. The old man played a part in the construction of the Waterford Crystal Millenium ball that is in Time Square New York.

The prototype is a bulky loco Seamus, and the model seems to portray that look also. What year were they originally announced as a future product. I remember that PM made the announcement at the SDMRC and I can't be too sure whether it was 2009 or later.
