I love that wiper.

I'm almost certain Paddy Murphy missed that wiper on the model!! For anyone now unhappy with the grey Murphy please forward them to myself!!

Just curious if anyone has made improvements to their Murphy Models 071 models, such as replacement wipers or horns, or any other modifications. If so, what replacement parts have you used?

I'll be replacing the lifting rings on mine. The four on the fan end of the loco are a bit overscale to my eyes. Some 071's have the odd lifting ring on other parts of the roof so it is worth checking out pictures. SSM produce lovely wipers. TBH if someone was to produce exact to scale brass horns I might be tempted, but as they are I am happy.
