DJ Dangerous Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Hi All. Not sure if this is the correct place to post this. Hattons have just re-listed a load of Murphy Models stock available for pre-order, that had been out of stock. This includes the elusive MM5605 EGV, the entire Super Train Mk2D coach range, MM1509 Cravens buffet car, along with three 071's and a 201. I contacted them to see if this was a mistake, and they replied to confirm that this information is accurate. Hopefully, this helps anybody like me who is missing that EGV! Quote
DJ Dangerous Posted October 24, 2019 Author Posted October 24, 2019 Maybe I should have posted this HERE, sorry! Quote
Noel Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 I suspect it’s the IE/IR tippex livery EGV that’s rare as hens teeth 2 Quote
DJ Dangerous Posted October 24, 2019 Author Posted October 24, 2019 Wow, very nice weathering! Which EGV model is missing the hinges, has the wrong bogies and suffers from warped sides? Quote
DART8118 Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 MM1509 Craven buffet car is not listed on Murphy Models website. It just lists the MM1508 Snack car. When was MM1509 released? Are they the same coach with just a different running numbers? 8118 Quote

Think it is the same coach but may have inherited the same wobble as the RPSI sets. Different plastic composition on the bogie pivot mounts, but MM released some sort of fix for this, a sort of washer, or sprung washer. Marks Models had them. Quote

Something about moving an air vent on one side. Edited October 26, 2019 by DJ Dangerous Added hyperlink Quote
