  1. Does anyone know if they fixed the white line in the headlight area of the ie and ir versions?

     

    Was just looking on Hattons website and noticed they have a picture of 077 and 080 with the above mentioned error corrected. Looks like side logo has been corrected also. Its the last picture in both of them:

  2. To be honest I think 85 Sterling is a bit steep for 146-192 if they are second hand. You may need to rethink your prices especially when p&p is not included in the sale price.

     

    Rich,

     

    I based my prices on recent ebay items. The last two i watched went for £93+£3P&P

  3. A bad week to be selling anything Irish train related with the MM071's coming out Saturday. Most people will have their pennies saved up for those.

     

    Yeah was thinking that myself but you never know who might have them extra pennies!;)

  4. The bigger picture is important though, you might want 209 and 230, but there has to be demand for 209, ie you and I might want it, but who else does. Personally Id love to see either 207 or 233 done, same way Id love any of the 111's in their earlier guises, but its been proven that the demand is just not going to be there for them, same way the blue 201's never sold in massive numbers. Im based in the South, but I enjoy modelling NIR stock, but no doubt its the whole 'grass is greener' scenario, so unlikely the demand would be there for any shade of NIR blue, apart from the one that spent a well photographed time running on IE metals and gained LED markerlights, although Id almost confidently say that all 3 111's have been to almost every corner of the Irish network

     

    I dont think you can judge anything by the sales of the Lima NIR 201s. After all they were the wrong shade of blue plus 208 and 209 were both produced. With 209 being the only NIR blue version being produced this time around it should fair a little better plus a lot of people will probably by 2 so to convert the other to 208. I certainly will be!

     

    Hopefully another 111 will get produced preferably 111 itself in the same period livery as 112 is modelled as that way it would be easy to convert it to 112 pre LED markerlights, 113 without large yellow warning panel and the current liveries of 8111 and 8113 with large yellow warning panels.

     

    Anyway back to the 071s. They look amazing. Really looking forward to getting hold of 071 and 082 in frieght livery and 112. Hopefully the couple of small errors such as IE logo being too big or else its the black band not being big enough on the side of the IE version along with what some people on here have pointed out will be sorted by the time it hits the shops. Wonder will 082 get its own sound decoder?
