Evening/Morning all!
For the next release whilst I work on the drivers/figures you may have seen recently, are two small accessories to adorn your stock. There are buckets of these complete and ready to ship. So - Be it MM locos, IRM's RTR rolling stock**, SSM or GB's Brake Vans, your homebrew MK3 EGV's, MIR kit builds - as long as it has a lamp bracket, these should do the trick.
There are two designs offered here, the first is the MK2 Unipart Dorman Tail Lamp introduced to the IE Network in late 1990 all over white with a single red lens, and photos show them in mainline use up until 2004, though they were in use on Per Way operations on an ad-hoc basis. Primarly designed for the British Railway network, they featured the iconic BR logo on the face. This was, not unsurprisingly, plated over in IE use.
The second is the MK3 Unipart Dorman Tail Lamp an improvement on it's sibling, introduced with a signal/flouro red panel beneath the lamp with the IE plug/socket logo adorned, introduced in 2000. These are still in use today on ICR's, Per Way Ops, Railtours, Loco's and Kettle's alike.
These are cosmetic only, but have a "lens" of patent pending* material so have a glass like finish. These are hand finished and each one has been checked on a trusty MM 184 for fit. But please be gentle fitting these, if it does not slot into place cleanly, do not force it. Contact me for advice if this occurs.
Each pack comes with 4 tail lamps, painted and ready to fit, in either MK2 or MK3 format, €3.95 for 4, or €6.95 for 8, €13.90 for 16, and so on... Post and Package to ROI/NI is €1.25 and to Great Britain is €1.70. Orders of 5 or more packs come postage free to those jurisdictions.
If you would like to order, please PM me here or send an email directly to [email protected]. Thanks for reading, Richie.
*varnish and food colouring :p
**some lamp brackets on the 42' flats need to be gently pulled out to give clearance. They are push fit parts and I will provide guidance on doing this.
*** Keep it to yerselves, but if you model UK outline, these will also work for UK stock, but I haven't tested any stock so can't give any garauntees about fitment.
