[RedRich]

To the best of my memory they were first mooted late 2008

 

Thanks Seamus, enjoy the weekend in Wexford.

 

Rich,

[RedRich]

Looking forward to getting my hands on 112 tomorrow. I believe I've had another very pretty GM Loco arrive in the post today, looks like it's going to be a good long weekend!

 

Nice one Fran, you'll have to stick up some photos of the American loco.

 

Rich,

[BabyGM]

I saw 112 this evening with my own eyes at the set up for the show and It was very impressive

This will be the hardest 15 hours and 54 minutes ever

Nice one Fran, you'll have to stick up some photos of the American loco.

 

Rich,

 

Will do over the weekend after I get 112 too. Two GM locos turned up today, but the other is a chassis donor for a kit.

[leslie10646]

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?

 

Dave,

 

You're a cruel man, showing the little boys there pressies early. Now, none of them will get any sleep tonight!

 

I hope that they sell well, so that Paddy can afford to make a grey / yellow single ended Yankie for we oldies!

 

Have a great B/H weekend everyone - very clever of Paddy to delay the launch to a three day weekend!

I never change the clocks - it's witchcraft, you know.

 

I've been (not) doing it for twenty five years...

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

There was talk of the UK doing a trial run of about 3 years running on the same time as main land Europe

[Broithe]

There's always talk here of doing lots of things...

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

[Sulzer201]

Hi Anthony,

I heard a fleet of large GMs crossed the border yesterday! Looking forward to the pics and the transformation through the weathering. Enjoy them everyone.

[Warbonnet]

[burnthebox]

Congrats, Warbonnet, long may they last you, well done,

[BosKonay]

Stunning Photos - completely set them off!!

[Sulzer201]

Warbonnet they look fantastic - powerful looking beasts.

[enniscorthyman]

And for anyone who has not seen the inside of the speaker- decoder area.

4 screws have to be opened as shown in photo.The centre body comes off

without cabs.

[gm171 kk]

The 071s are looking great. I especially like the pic of 082 at the level crossing. Do you have to remove the centre part of the body to insert a decoder or does a panel of the roof come off like on the 201s?

[enniscorthyman]

Yes you have to remove the entire centre body to get at the

Decoder pins.It is very handy though especially when

compared to the song and dance to open the body's on

the 141s.

[enniscorthyman]

How do you mean? Did it not work at all or did certain functions not work?
