The three items of interest; 124 134 the 645 decoder Many thanks Hi there, Not really as we do not know how many will be produced. However, I can tell you that so far 124 and 134 are the most popular two ordered from us by far, so far. Cheers! Fran 1 Quote

Thats a fair price - I would say the RRP will probably be that or close. As much as I would like to order from your good selves - I've pre-ordered from another Irish outfit last year and I'll stick with them to share the business around when I can. BTW - I assume the A's are proceeding as scheduled? 2 Quote

NIR 450 ‘Castle’ Class Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Sorry to be a bother, with the pre-order regulations, would it be easier for me to purchase the loco and the decoder separately or together (I’d be looking to buy one of the June 121 releases)? Quote

We're not sure yet when the decoders will be coming exactly, so might be simpler to order them individually (it will be free postage on both regardless!) Hope that helps! Quote

Hope that helps! Right, unfortunately I made a combined order just before reading that. I sincerely apologise, would it be easier for me to re-order? I don’t want to make it more difficult at your end! I would be happy to wait until both are delivered to the IRM warehouse but I understand the impracticality of this. Again, I’m very sorry for my mistake. Many thanks for the assistance Quote

I'm guessing 124 and 134 will have the latest marker lights as their main appeal is that they were late to be withdrawn but maybe 129 will have the older type It looks like there is a third set of lights as these are not the original set of three (or was it 4?) nor the newest set of 4 round LEDs. I think these are square incandescents that were prevalent in later 80s/90s ish? Maybe replacement for the failing originals? Edited July 22, 2020 by DiveController 1 Quote

WRENNEIRE Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 From memory there are 6 switches for lights inside the 121 models which should cover most light arrangements 1 Quote
chris Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 good on you for stocking these. Have just pre-ordered and cancelled from Hattons. Will continue to support IRM in preference where I can given all the great work they've done for the Irish scene in the last couple of years. 3 1 Quote
Warbonnet Posted May 30, 2020 Author Posted May 30, 2020 Thanks Chris, much appreciated! The decoration samples made their debut at the South Dublin Model Railway Club yesterday. A big thanks to Paul Reynolds for these pics. Those IE locos aren’t far away so get your order in! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/murphy-models-class-121-locomotive 7 2 Quote

Yes, you're right but there was some variation, 3 original or 4 'original' style marker lights. If I recall there are photos of them delivered off the boat that way. I will say that I don't see a second red bulb just white Later, Original three, plus two extra reds during PP era 4 incandescent 4 LEDS Edited May 31, 2020 by DiveController 3 Quote
DiveController Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Does anyone know when the first batch of 3 or 4 121s are due, I understand it is the grey & yellow livery due to some paint issues? MM website Update May 2020 Class 121 loco We are please to advise that the 121 locos will become available in stockists on a phased basis commencing June 2020 Quote

Railer Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 Though he was doing the 3 marker light version of the IRs to?. It's the same configuration of the IR 141/181s. Either way they look great. Quote
Noel Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 Holy Sacred cow, they all lookssublime, locos of the decade, the B&T versions in particular nearly made me fall off my chair. Like the Tippex IR broken points logo version too even if outside my era. 1 Quote

RedRich Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 The IE livery looks amazing and is the era all my models represent. It will always be how I remember 124 and 134. However B125 and B131 steal the show livery wise as it did with the Babies. Rich, 2 Quote
popeye Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 Beautiful models In the pictures of the BnT loco's B131 has side rails and B125 does not, how do you know which loco's have them? Quote

DJ Dangerous Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 Does anybody know how many of each version of the 121 models have been produced? The RPSI version was 300 units, I think? 121 and 124 are already sold out on the IRM website! How many of each have been allocated to IRM for sales? Quote
