Damo666 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 With the excellent new MM produced CIE/IR Class 121 having been released late last year, and the impending IRM Class A/001 loco about the hit the doorstep, is there any hope for a new production run of CIE coaches? The last batch by Messers Murphy & Co are as rear as a sunny day in summer on the west coast, yet these new locos will have no way of transporting passengers to sunnier climes. Not so much a wish, more a plea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong about what 'Era5' is, as I'm certainly no expert, but using the designation used by Hatton's on their website I associate it with the 1960s - mid 80s 'Black and Tan' livery and their 'Broken Wheel' logo.

RMweb Gold McC Posted April 13, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 13, 2021 Aha! Got it. The British and Irish ‘eras’ are somewhat different, Irish Rail having never been privatised For example. This is the tagging system Irish Railway Models use for our models. ERA / Livery - Pioneering - Pre-Grouping — Great Southern Railway — Northern Railways — GNR — UTA NIR CIE — Silver — Grey & Yellow — Green — Black (& Tan) — Supertrain - Irish Rail - Iarnrod Eireann - Preservation - Permanent Way the CIE period has to date been a little underserved with stock and coaches but with the A Class metrovicks in those Liveries imminent that will likely change. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D6975 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Paddy hasn't announced anything completely new in a long time. I suspect that when news of something new does appear it may well be just before it appears in the shops, like the 201. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csalem Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Well it was only a month ago he announced the plan for new Mark 3s, including push pull versions: http://www.murphymodels.com/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
