richrua Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DiveController Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) 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 Edited May 4, 2015 by DiveController Clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puzzled.... CIE black was only on A, B101, C, D, E & G; never on 121, 141 or 181.......? Or have I missed something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
