Review: Murphy Models Class 071 Diesel MM0086 in CIE Supertrain Livery with MM0055 DCC Sound HD

[@riverbankrailways]

Such a gorgeous loco and amazing sound - I'm insanely jealous :)

[@EuviRail]

I have to admit this is one of my favourite locos of all time and I wouldn't be alone on that front.

[@riverbankrailways]

Looking to try and find one of these - can you share where you bought it?

[@EuviRail]

I got mine 6 years ago from Marks Models in Dublin and it was the most expensive model I had ever purchased at the time for 179 euro. They were later discounted by 25% so some people picked them up for a song. They're only available today via auction houses and private sale starting at around ST£250.

@@EuviRail Cheers dude, yeah they're hard to get alright, Mark said they haven't had them in years :)

[@tekken278]

Besutiful loco..im new to these and interested in starting to collect them..do they run with sound on a hornby layout?

[@EuviRail]

Yes you can but you will need DCC control to use the sound. I use the Hornby eLink controller and Railmaster software. £85 for the two from Hattons so it won't break the bank.

Bought this liveried version in 2023 second hand and paid 350 euro.without a decoder.the nir version iv seen for 450 with no decoder.

[@EuviRail]

Yeah, these are very pricey now. I paid 330 euro for the NIR 113 but glad I did at the time!
