Different Murphy 141/181s

[richrua]

Just a question. Been reading back through the literature about the Murphy 141s and 181s. How many different versions did Murphy release?

 

I do love those Baby GM s and they seem to fit well with my layout size.

Traditionally there have been four in each of the following liveries

CIE black & tan, Supertrain black and orange, Irish rail(set of points), IE orange (Plug/socket logo)

Except for CIE black & tan the others have three pristine and one weathered. Number 171 is also IE orange but was commissioned by Marks models, I think. In addition to the original CIE black locomotives there is also a preserved CIE black & tan version of 141 which would run with the modern IE locos. That should come to 18 in total

.........addition to the original CIE black locomotives there is also a preserved CIE black version of 141 which would run with the modern.......

 

 

Puzzled.... CIE black was only on A, B101, C, D, E & G; never on 121, 141 or 181.......?

 

Or have I missed something?

No, that would be an unusual circumstance. More correctly B'n'T as Pat says, not all over black. Sorry, was out and about on a mobile device . Will edit original for clarity.
