I was looking forward to it as well, but being separated from like minded modellers, whereas now I'm among like minded modellers, and local exhibitions / swapmeets and shops have a function again. Modelling far from home was fun while it lasted, but it wasn't to be lasting !!!! I will post some updates from time to time, but a start is yet some time away. First planning, purchasing and house prepping. Regards, Michel

All items of stock have now been sold and paid for. Last items will be posted Wednesday 13-6. Thanks to all for relieving me of stock surplus to requirements, and helping me fund Dutch model trams for the new layour plan. Regards, Michel

Hi all, Will show some pictures soon. Hope you all enjoy your new Irish models. Glad they've come over in good order. Yes, I wrap and package well. Takes plenty of time to pack ........ Tram track is quite likely to be that what's available in the Proto 87 store, Easy Street. Sales wise. Another 8 loco's are going to be send out Saturday 9th of June. Stock left is 2x Class 141, #146 in IE livery. Mint, boxed, parts still in sealed bag. Not run, or just run in. Asking €75 each, with FREE postage to Ireland if buying both together, and €10 postage when buying 1 of them. EDIT Both models Sold STP. Regards, Michel

Hi Gents, Home after a 12 hour trip from Turkey, with no sleep the night before. Took a wee hour nap this afternoon, but now celebrating my wife's 42nd birthday, which is today. Glad some parcels have surfaced, and all well received. Enjoy the stock, it surely deserves good treatment, and stretching of legs ......... eh wheels. Coming home, I've also found myself some new stock richer. 5 more Halling TW6000 trams in HTM The Hague livery, 3 sets of Hobbytrain 2 powercar München Deutsche Post mailtrams, that will form 1 shunting powercar and a maintenance tram with T'n'T powercars and 3 open maintenance wagona (to be converted from 3 of the dummy powercars), plus 24 sets of Hornby Schrafenberg couplers for the trams (that I will convert to remote DCC operation). One parcel, with 10x MAN CNG citybuses of HTM has still to surface. Still a few loco's left for sale. Will update after all deals of the last week have been secured, and the correct amount left has been made a clear fact. Regards, Michel

Surely hope so. Glad they are all sent insured, just in case. Never sent stuff to Ireland before, so no idea how fast and reliable the service is. Netherlands to/from UK usually takes 2-3 days, and only had one parcel ever go lost, within about 50 parcels. It was parcel uninsured, by strict choice of the receiver. Since then, it's insured/signed for, that I want to use by default only. Regards, Michel

Still in Turkey myself, for another day, but how do things stand with the parcels I sent out, before I went to Turkey ? Regards, Michel

Have checked the status of all, this it what the tracking website shows : Declan : delivery @ 29-5 Andrew : delivery @ 29-5 Seán : delivery @ 29-5 Séamus : delivery @ 29-5 Joe : delivery @ 29-5 Tom : delivery @ 29-5 Brian : delivery @ 29-5 Paul (in USA) : delivery @ 29-5 Hope for all of you it's accurate. Signatures are required, but nothing personal AFAIK. Regards, Michel

Declan, Just checked yours on the Dutch version of the tracking site, and is marked with delivery on 29-5, so this coming Tuesday. Not sure how accurate this is though. Remember the extra holidays have caused some delay. To/From the Uk can be in 2 days, think even had one time in 1 day (normal letter). Regards, Michel

Another loco to a happy new owner. 7x 146 and 2x 187 left. Regards, Michel

The 10 remaining 141's/181's have found their way to eBay. Regards, Michel

Hi Tommy, The Baby GM's are €80 each, all mint (unrun or only rollingroad run in), boxed, parts in box unfitted. Postage to Ireland, UK or most EU countries is €10 for 1 loco and FREE for 2 or more loco's. Regards, Michel

184 and 220 claimed, pictures exchanged, deal sealed, payment done, all within an hour or so. Only stock left now is 7x 146 and 3x 187. Regards, Michel

Posting of all items sold and paid so far (everything except for the still available 7x 146, 1x 184, 3x 187 and 1x 220) is (finally) happening this Wednesday 23-5, and tracking numbers will be forwarded to respective buyers. Regards, Michel

Just as I was about to start box surgery, the postman turned up, with 1x Halling TW6000 "Den Haag" tram, odered last Saturday from a model car shop, being the last they had in stock. The box was huge for the small tram, but just a snug fit for 4x Cravens and 1x 229. Good thing, I have another order for 4 Cravens also. You might just have to swap numbers now ........................... Oh no, I had to swap the coaches. Swift deal, the other parcel ready in no time now. Regards, Michel

#229 sold and paid for. Never sold a model so quick, within a minut AFAIK. Too bad the parcel for 4x Cravens to the same address was only just finished. Some surgery ahead now ...... Thanks Declan, enjoy the models !!!! Regards, Michel

Hi all, There's a general delay in sending the parcels out. I could not source bubble wrap, but have now got suffient. Posting out, if paid and address given, is today (22-5) or tomorrow (23-5). Upon checking the sold models before packing, I've encountered a delivery error. I had bought 5x MM0220, which I got delivered at Model Rail Scotland, last February. I've now encountered a MM0229 to be with the other 4x MM0220. You see, they are that new, that I've not even read the lable properly, let alone see the model. Therefor the last 2 remaining Class 201's for sale are not 2x MM0220, but 1x 0220 and 1x 0229. First posting has been amended accordingly. Regards, Michel

Hi Tommy, I'm sorry, but all Cravens have just been taken through PM's. ------------ To all, All coaches taken (some still STP), 13 loco's remaining. Regards, Michel

Gents, I did start my thread without ASKING prices, but they are on there now, after you we're all asking what prices I have in mind. Initially I put down "Sensible offers welcome" !!! So what's stopping you from making an offer, in your eyes/mind "sensible" ? There's also a massive difference, if you're interested in stock for yourself, or to make money out by selling on again, reworked/enhanced or not. Most remarks seem to be linked more close to the latter as the former. For the stock (bar the 201's) I paid similar or higher prices, when the stock was technically not new either. Perception of "going rate" seems to differ. By weather, period of the month, season, or ? Make offers if you want to have some items, but aren't willing to pay what I'm asking. Who knows, I might say DEAL !!!! Regards, Michel

About my upcoming visit to the UK. I'm in Kent near the Channeltunnel, around the last weekend of July. Regards, Michel

Hi all, I've updated my first posting with asking prices and items Sold STP. Yes, it's a shame to quite the foreign modelling and the nice project that lay ahead. All about domestic peace, balancing spare time and spare money (if any;)). Regards, Michel

Update means also only stock still available is listed, with sold items taken off.
