You could always buy one of the three that @Georgeconna is selling, then swap that with @Gabhal Luimnigh . In fact, @Gabhal Luimnigh Could buy one of those from @Georgeconna and then sell one of his and make a profit!

He has all sold

Cool videos

Maybe ask if anyone has a black one to sell rather than swap and if they do, sell one of your ones and buy it.

It's probably easier to buy an airbrush now and have a go. 

Well I'm back to having the 2 unused ones to swap again, been messed around I'm afraid, so 156 and 143 still here.

Have a look at Railtech transfers. I've used them in the past and found them very good

Thank you, they look the business. 

Well lads and ladies, I have lots of wagons that I plan to paint and convert to CIE stock, is there anyone on here that makes CIE logo decals or can point me in the right direction please? 

Last one left to swap 

And number 3 loco, just arrived. Ready for a swap! 

You have plenty options, well done. 

Two more to trade, still looking for black power

Beautiful 

Anyone want this set? Will swap for something 

Never used, want the older black CIE stock. 

It's the old black A class that I prefer

The Irish Rail and IE ones are the most desirable if you ask me. If you can't find a swap partner, just sell them for the going rate and buy the black ones you want. Is PM releasing any black ones this year? If so, you could sell them now for good money then buy the black ones and renumber any duplicates (much easier than a full respray!)

I suspect you will find a swap partner for both locos to be honest.

Thanks for that, I don't think I will sell them of the hassle of pricing etc, a swap is preferable.

Apart from the preserved version, the earlier black ones may have smaller lights than the orange ones have - not the end of the world, unless absolute authenticity is your aim, but a swap is the easy way, if it can be arranged.

It's got to be worth trying.

Absolute authenticity is not my aim, it takes the fun out of it for me, thanks for your id tip though, I'm still learning. 

I would much prefer if these were black, like the older versions of CIE, the question I have is should I paint them or try swap them with someone that wants to? 

A few more additions to the fleet... 

Silly prices 

Hi all, I'm looking for an A Class locomotive, the lovely dirty black ones from the 70's era, anyone here got one available? I'm not going down the ebay route. 

Thanks

€7 for Simonz grey primer in Top Part in Sligo, excellent paint. 

That looks lovely 

That works, well done.
