Did you get sorted on this. Interested as received 2 damaged in the post when they were being sold off for €50 a few years ago. Didnt open the boxes till this year and only notice they were damaged then.

I have one that I don't wish to part with. I don't remember where I picked it us, suspect it was from Brian Collins at a show. I presume you have put it on you wish list at Hattons, you just never know.  The train Fair in Bray might also be worth a visit.

This one is on my wish list; https://www.hattons.co.uk/117492/base_toys_ie02_leyland_comet_artic_flatbed_c_i_e_circa_1964_1985_/stockdetail

Got one of those at BlackRock last month for €8. Shows they can still be got for a good price.

Someone may be interested in this SSM kit. Price not bad gone from €260 a week ago €130 yesterday. 

He says he is open to GNRI swaps.

Yes, EXACTLY.

I've been banging on about this for years (as those in the model railway trade who know me will testify)!

Naturally, many of these items may not ever be commercially viable, so self-build for much of it will remain the only show in town - at least for a very long time.

I am hoping at some stage to produce as complete a list as I can of appropriate "off-the-shelf" and kits which would be suitable for a 1955-65 period, interest in which is obviously growing, and not before time, as this period had the single greatest variety of stuff on wheels in all of Irish railway history; brand new stock AND locos operating alongside some items 70 and 80 years old - and everything in between. I would add some "off the shelf" British stuff which with a repaint would just about pass a "2-foot rule" for those on lesser budgets, or less concerned about absolute technical accuracy. For example, some of the "bought" SECR coaches (one anyway) would have a passing resemblance to a certain class of MGWR bogie, at least one example of which survived the grey & green era to get a clean coat of black'n'tan. I think it survived to about 1965.

With "bought" six-wheelers now appearing, and at a reasonable price, that's one ticked off. JM Design and Silverfox do kits of tin vans, though a RTR one is needed. A wooden bogie - ideally GSWR origin (of 1910-20 design) is another must.

Many another thing too, of course, VERY many - goods stock of all types included - would be needed.

Would anyone have a RAL or BS code for this green, or know where it is possible to get reasonably priced.

I'll take 2, would be great if the steps are adjustable.

A set on adverts still not shifted.
