8787 Weathered version of the 5 plank wagon

This shows the Marks Models reference number which I thought left a little to be desired

Brilliant Dave - even I was still very young at that time and had not discovered the joys of the hobby - I didn't think there was such interest in the hobby at that time in Ireland - I first became aware of the 'Irish' model trains when I saw a lima 33 repaint with Mk IIs which a friend had received from Santa. My first Irish set was from jouef - remember them as being erratic runners - later on when I began to have pocket money I remember saving for lima; Cl 33, Warship and a Deltic "Meld". A shop in Wicklow town used to do a small run of Lima at end of 70s - early 80s.

Great advert here.

Any dates when these models were first released and did they all come out together Dave?

Picked this up at the Wexford show

Just realised that the tanker for the kit was supplied by a third party , fully ready to build

S Kits, from Leistershire

Anyone know them, do they have any other useful Irish bits?

Any idea on value?

Value is the wrong word Bobby

These models are very expensive for what you get but unfortunately they are not made by any of the mainstream manufacturers

so if you cannot build them yourself you will have to pay the price

Have a look through his website and check out his stock

http://silverfoxmodels.co.uk/

I also heard that he is making some Mk 2f Gennys for the Gatwick set

He is also making the Driving Trailer that was made but did not run with this set

I propose to post pictures of all the models produced by Murphy Models in sequence from their days with LIMA to the current models produced by Murphy Models

 

Lima produced models of British outline stock

These were then offered to Lima agent in Dublin, Lexie Tynan

He then accepted or refused the sets and the accepted ones went on general release here

Towards the end of the 90's Tynan retired from the trade and Murphy Models began a relationship with LIMA that saw them produce some of the first authentic Irish railway models

This is their first attempt , set # L105100X33 released in 1997, possibly as few as 300 made.

It was released in the Lima Hobby Range line.

It was classed as a starter set,

It consists of a Cl33 repainted as an A Class # 015 This model had been produced by LIMA for Tynan and was accepted as an Irish loco at the time, the Tynan model was numbered 215.

Coaching stock consisted of a Mk 2D #5228 and a Mk 3 Restaurant # 7115

It also came with a traffo and track.

300 Sets believed to have been produced

How long is a piece of string Bobby?

From a collectors point of view you need a mint boxed example including track & traffo and its really only a collector who would be interested

A Class 33 repainted to look like an A Class with a Mk 2 & Mk 3 coach

I have seen them make €100 and up to €250, so its all about condition
