When I spoke to Paddy at the October Show he told me he was fed up with people asking him to release this livery and that livery. He said that all 7 would be released at the same time so people could just have what ever they wanted. I think 7 over a period of 6 months would be better but its PM's baby

[BosKonay]

End of the day, they will sell. If they are all in the shop and you can pick and choose all the better. They will take a little longer to sell out buy they still will.

Cheers Dave:tumbsup:

[BosKonay]

Great news!!!!!

[RedRich]

Thanks for that Dave can't wait for 077 and 085. Congratulations and good luck to MM on their first appearance the Nuremberg toy fair.

 

Rich,

[Killucan2]

What about 111 and 8113.

 

M.

[Railer]

They were never planned. Only option is to get 112 resprayed and numbered. Or get one of older 071s without the LED marker lights resprayed for a more accurate model.

I know that but you never know!

Yeah, we might have a better chance of seeing 8111 and 8113 this year than 209 or 230.

[Blu Bianco]

Great to hear they will be on their way.

 

Any guide if this batch will hold to their originally listed RRP of €175?

 

I'd imagine the €159.99 that 071, 082 and 112 were set at was just the introductory offer, but you never know!

 

It would be brilliant if it was same.

Can t wait to get my hands on 073,078 & 077, hopefully the prices stay the same as the last batch but either way they ll be three new arrivals to the workbench in the near future.

Hopefully 230 will follow soon after;)

[WRENNEIRE]

Just heard that the 071 has been shortlisted for "Model of the Year"

[Garfield]

Just heard that the 071 has been shortlisted for "Model of the Year"

 

That should come as no surprise to most of us here... well done Paddy Murphy!

[Dave]

No surprise there, it is an excellent model with great attention to detail.

[Broithe]

great attention to detail.

 

Should get an award just for that window frame.

[Blu Bianco]

By far the best model out there right now, thats excellent news!

 

By the way, I was wondering is there a difference between the 086sa and the 088 model? I originally heard they were both to be in Supertrain, however based on this quote:

 

5 Cl.071s are due to land in early March, viz.........MM0086 CIE supertrain & MM0088 CIE original livery........

.

 

and the below images, and also some classifications in online shops, does this mean there will be a slight difference? (I'm no expert in the Supertrain era thats why I'm throwing this open to the floor!)

 

 

This is 086 in the front with the circle of the CIE logo in an orange colour. The locomotive (directly) behind it is the 088 (back then classified as 071 before the number switch) and as you can see from this and the picture below, the circle is a different colour here.

 

 

Can anyone confirm this?

 

Thanks.

[Eiretrains]

The difference between the two is that one, No.088 I assume, will be modeled in the as delivered Supertrain livery of 1976, with the cream coloured broken wheel logo and tablet snatchers.

Where as No.086 represents Supertrain era of the 1980s, with the orange broken wheel logo and SA letting, applied when the air braked Mk3 stock appeared in 1986. Presumably the final version won't have snatchers as shown at the model fairs, as these would have been mostly removed by 1980s.

[heirflick]

rightly so...a suberb model. give him the award now!

[RedRich]

That's terrific news and a well deserved nomination. Blu Bianco the as delivered 071 had orange painted headlight covers. Eiretrains post covers everything else.

 

Rich,

Let's make sure it wins.

[Blu Bianco]

Thank you both Eiretrains and Rich.

 

I know it almost seemed like I was stating the obvious however I did want to make sure from you guys. You have helped me very much in deciding which ones to get!

As delivered, as Eiretrains points out, the CIE logo on the ends was not as normal (i.e. white lettering, orange surround). It was white, though, rather than cream but discoloured like anything white, I suppose. But - in that "as delivered" form, they were not the normal orange. They were a distinctly browner shade, nit the same as anything else on the railway. Thus, in order to be accurate an orange loco would have to have the normal orange surrounded logo, not an all white one.

[jhb171achill]

Just put a picture on flickr of 112 with the IR window frames and the new light clusters but the engine fan cowling and fans are all blue and the name plate is still painted in the more traditional colours.

 

I think only one window frame was in IE colours - maybe two; not all four.

It has at least two in IE colours. One on each cab, of opposite sides for sure 100%.
