Now sold out.

Here are some pictures of the coaches in action.

Pre-Production models - note that some aspects of these were altered for production models, primarily the lining which was too low.

The Models in action - These pictures were kindly contributed by proud owners of the coaches as well as spectators at a recent model show in Bangor.

One modeller taking up our suggestion and running our Mark 2s with the Bachmann / Murphy models 181 class No.186.  If anybody has a model of our own 186, we'd love to see some pictures!

The Mark 2s compare very favourably with a variety of other Irish models on this superb layout, and add an eye-relieving splash of green to the ranks of black and tan!

The carriages are very detailed models.  Springs, axlebox covers, and door handles are all picked out in the correct colours; even the little yellow sticker denoting approval by Resco is in place.  The modeller also has the option of replacing the standard tension lock couplings with a close coupling bar.  This greatly improves the look of the models as they ride the right distance apart, and the coupling bar is cunningly disguised as a vacuum bag.  We can assure you these are easier to handle than either the bags or the couplings on the real thing!
One bar is included as standard with each coach.
