burnthebox Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hi guys, have a look at what I’ve just found while sorting some of my stuff out, & I’ve only now noticed that the two numbers are completely different, which of course they are, I always thought they were the same only one was smaller...

Noel Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Cool find, 125 HO scale has the famous Lima coupling. I have two of the 215s, both run at warp speed, one runs ok, the other sounds like a tractor, no need for DCC sound. Back in 1976 I thought these were the Bees-Knees and the Cats Whiskers. The punny buffers looked most un-CIE A class like. I'll doubt that I'll ever convert them to DCC, they are part of my DC past. Lima got the colour right.

burnthebox Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hi Noel & thanks, I agree with everything you have said, in fact I still think they are the cats, but I’m only dreaming of a time long ago..! When all I had was the CIE class 33, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dangerous Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Wow, the HO really looks far better relative to the track size! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good observation. 00 gauge @ 16.5mm looks like the narrow gauge track in the Isle of Man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 The 21mm track really makes a difference, but there don't seem to be many videos of 21mm Murphy Models diesels out there: 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU mean the OO scale is on undersized track? I'll email IRM right away and we can get proper Irish track for proper Irish rolling stock Edited November 13, 2020 by DiveController 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Mk3 and Mk4 coach sets, the RoadLiner trucks and green buses, and the N Gauge sets that they'll surely launch with an 071 and some Mk3's, they have to decide on whether they'll first launch Irish track, or their HO gauge range! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
