Murphy Models OO MM0174A IR 174s Class 141 EMD Diesel Locomotive IR Orange Livery

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 The 141/181 class locomotives were withdrawn 2010/11, five examples being preserved, though 1 may be used solely as a spares source.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 174 in IR Irish Rail orange livery.
