That's great news. Dave, your thread has been one of the best resources on the forum and it would have been a great shame to loose it. Well done and thanks for taking the time to reinstate the lost photo treasure trove from "Middle Brackenville". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRENNEIRE Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 While slowly restoring the first few pages I came across this set which I previously did not catalogue L149801 One of the odd sets with 2 Mk 111's and a Mk 11 One of the Mk 111's is a Restaurant # 7411 Mk 11 is #5201 & other Mk 11 is #7115 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRENNEIRE Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Troops I have been beavering away at restoring the pics on the thread Last 7 days spending a couple of hours a day at it Unfortunately the pics are scattered all over the place (like madmans shite I hear you say) So whereas the fix itself is easy, thanks in no part to the new uploader on the site, finding them is a chore So bear with me and hopefully a few more weeks should see it rstored First 10 pages are fixed with the exception of most of the cravens which I still cannot find Might have to take them out of their boxes t be re photoed Jasus!!!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRENNEIRE Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 Ran a few of the new Orange Bubbles yesterday Still cant sort out the video on my camera, my phone takes better vids Anyway sorry about the quality 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Holy moly thats 900 tons of dried cement, the year is €1875 when 45 wagons from 15 packs made history as one of the longest wagon formations in CIE history. Well done Dave. Enjoy. PS: What sort of camera were you using? Some autofocus when switched into video mode and don't refocus unless prompted to, hence the background image at the start of the vid remains in focus while the stock closer to the camera is blurred, especially after all that superb detail IRM added!!! More light in the room might also help increase the DOF making precise focus less vital. Edited December 22, 2017 by Noel lexdysia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRENNEIRE Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) Picked this up over the festive period Its the Lima 1979/1980 Catalogue The interesting thing about this catalogue is the Irish Collection of Lima Trains insert that accompanies the catalogue A 12 page supplement that has some weird and wonderful non existent sets pictured Not a bit of Irish stock to be seen Now it starts to get interesting, Set 10 3723 which there is a pic of on page 10 of the thread Set 10 4422 which there is a pic of on page 24 but without the box lid A set that never hit the shelves 10 4223 C.I.E. Transport with a Unigate Milk Tanker Set 10 7022 C.I.E. Supertrain set, pic on Page 23 of this thread Some N Gauge Set 12 1123, Pic on Page 15 of the thread Set 12 3122, C.I.E. Fowler Passenger set, I have never seen one but I imagine it does exist as I have picked up some loose coaches and locos over the years Rear page, Lexie Keady Toys International address complete with 6 digit phone number Edited October 26, 2023 by WRENNEIRE 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbonnet Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Brilliant as always Dave, I get more misty eyed over these old Lima catalogues and sets than anything else. I assume that Lexie Tynan is no longer with us? He would be a great man to talk to for an insight into those days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRENNEIRE Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Just for you Fran, a little break from your Accurascale, non Irish! gig 1976 Lima catalogue, no Irish content However it shows HO scale Class 33's with OO gauge couplings They are catalogued as OO, but they only have 4 digit catalogue numbers, 00 gauge have 6 So now I am wondering which came first, the HO IR 33 with HO or OO couplings?

Warbonnet Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Would have certainly thought HO couplings first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
