See the gen van

Never mid saving 20 beans on a loco, there's a mk2 Galway livery gen van currently at 190+ postage and still getting bids also the Lima 3 mk2 Galway  livery set for nearly 500 beens as we speak, the world has gone mad

Has anyone pre-ordered from Mark's? I've been trying to contact them but with current restrictions it's a pain , are they taking deposits ? 

When will the boss realise theres more boxes of trains in the house than shoes??

€450 for three mk3 coaches and a paper weight?

Albeit 450 beans, they are hard come by in good nick and boxed, people endlessly commenting how bad Lima models are is as old as the models themselves, only a few years ago most would have chomped at owning a set. 

New MM and irm locos are near 200 euro now, a MM gen van going for 210 smackers this week and hard times are only around the corner now such joy was had with a 90 euro 201 from Marks models!! Respect the elderly  

To all the Lima lovers

They weren't in boxes but boxes are about, rare though, I have only managed to get 3, to get a box numbered for the coach is even harder, most were blank with exception to continental stuff. 

Irish boxes generally blue, no plastic on the window and made in Ireland on them. Also there is 3 versions of Irish coach. 

Think this poped up before, seem to recall it was a hand made example for pr pre-possibly production?! Correct me if I'm wrong 

Happy crimbo guys

Think it's coming in the stocking

Sad day for Lima collectors

Picked these up today in a large collection of stuff

Found a couple of the correct boxes but couldn't locate the wagons

On closer inspection it turns out the Broken Wheel logos had been removed

Who would do such a thing!! 

Looking for any older lima coaches, wagons or locos ideally boxed but not essential. Irish outline 

Drop a message here or  PM me and ill get back to you.

Cheers

The Mark IIIs are still a good model, and in some ways still the most accurate rendition of the coaches ever done. 

Indeed , lucky enough to find some of them, i was very surprised with the detail ( given the lima examples) if only they were orange
