Murphy Models 071 - New, detailed pre-production photos added!

[WRENNEIRE]

Dave is MM5232 going to be released in the Galway livery as that is the livery it carried during it's final years in service, and it would still have a black roof.

 

Rich,

 

Not as far as I know Rich

No standard Galway coaches, just EGV & Reataurant

Thanks Dave for that quick reply. A nice mix of Galway and IE coaches will make for an interesting formation as the Galways didn't stay in a fixed rake for all of their service.

Rich,

 

Yeah you would often see one or two galways sticking out in a rake of ie mk2s more prototypical.

Does anyone know what the difference between the small logo and large logo IR liveries is, as seen on the Belfast model shop livery listings?

I don't think there is any difference other than the size of the IR logo on the loco

Wow. 112 even has the IE coloured replacement driver cab windows on it and the IE coloured LED lights.

 

In a word.....awesome.

[BabyGM]

No 112 looks great can't wait to get mine

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

Very nice

[skinner75]

Totally stunning!

Really nice the way the IE window frames & marker lights are modelled - just like the real thing!

 

Going to have to get me one of these, along with the other two!!

[BosKonay]

The attention to detail is exquisite!!!

[josefstadt]

Even though I don't model the Irish scene (actually I'm between layouts at the moment), I definitely think one will have to be acquired for the mantelpiece!! Superb looking model.

[Admin]

Can't wait to see this in the flesh!!!

I saw - and handled - the pre-production one courtesy of the Train Man a couple of weeks ago - haven't washed my hands since....

[enniscorthyman]

Stunning stunning is all I can say.The NIR blue is

a big grower on me.

[BabyGM]

Can anyone tell me is no 084 a different livery than the standard orange 071's or is it to do with the weathering?

084 is just very weathered, looking back at the 141/181/071s they seemed to get different shades of orange depending when they were repainted, some got dayglow red panels and others did not. I haven't seen 084 in few weeks now since it came off the taras after having to rescue 086 which failed on another tara link.

 

Here is a photo I got of it back in May I think, at Clontarf Road.

Excellent, some weathering will be in order then:D

jesus broithe, the hands will be rotten by october!!! love the nir livery pic! better start...i mean be more loving to the good missus to get some brownie points before the model--or models arrive!

They'll be OK. I usually only wash them every four months anyway, whether they need it or not..

[enniscorthyman]

Just wondering,were the windows taken from withdrawn 141/181 locos

hence the IE window on 112?.amazing detail differences in that respect.

You could have a skin graft and flog them on ebay.

Eamonn-that's very possible that 112 got the cab side windows off a 141 class loco,

I remember 112 working the Ballina branch Cravens set in 2004-and i see from an IRRS journal that loco 158 was cut up at Inchicore in March 2003-so its possible that 112 has 158's cab side windows.

Most withdrawals of 141/181's seem to have taken place from 2006 onwards.

Thanks for that info Noel,and indeed aren't. IE still

doing all major work on NIR locos.

As far as I know they still do the 201s but I think its a long time since a 111 has seen the inside of an IE shed.

[Railer]

112 got a good going over while it was in IE hands, that's why it has the new marker lights that 111 and 113 still do not have. 111 and 113 were at Inchicore a few years ago (around 2009/10 I think) getting some work done as the lads at York Road were having trouble maintaining them at the time. When 112 was handed back to NIR it didn't last long in service and was out of action for a while at York Road but while it was with IE it was the best serving loco with the least amount of failures per miles worked and it worked some of the heaviest beat trains at the time.

[201bhoy]

Just heard model shop's 071 sound decoder. Have to say the video doesn't do it justice compared to what if sounds like hearing it in person! Absolutely stunning!

[Csalem]

My favourite memory of 112 on IE metals:

[Railer]

Seeing as 071, 082 and 112 are first out, here is a shot I got of 082 today on the taras.
