Murphy Models OO MM0147A CIE 147 Class 141 EMD Diesel Locomotive Black & Tan

Murphy Models highly detailed models of the CIE class 141 locomotives, built by Electro-Motive specifically for the Irish Railways in 1962. These locomotives were fitted with a late version of EMDs famed 567 engine, the 8 cylinders delivering 960bhp, though all were later upgraded to 645 standards for parts commonality with the later class 181. The 141/181 class locomotives were withdrawn 2010/11, five examples being preserved, though 1 may be used solely as a spares source.
These models feature highly detailed bodyshells with excellent grille depth and fine grab irons. The side handrails are moulded in a flexible plastic to help prevent accidental breakages.
Internally a centrally mounted motor and heavy diecast chassis provides drive to all four axles and the ability to haul substantial trains.
Model finished as locomotive 147 in the early CIE black and tan livery.
