I saw those two this morning. Not as terribly priced as some! But, the bidding will inflate the prices to silly levels.

Looks like they weren't meant for me. 

I just don't have the same nostalgia towards them as many on here. While i have a 121 and it is a extremely detailed model and have an A class on order the 071 is for me what those youve mentioned are to others. I dont want to buy locomotives I'll get no nostalgic feeling out of and take away from the pool of those that do on a chance that someone might trade

Yeah and they're quickly approaching my budget. 

Awesome

Looks like a respray to me, no running number on it. Over spray on the vent above the door. I could be wrong.

I didn't notice that. Very good point. Even so there maybe some interest and last minute buyers

Ive bid on them but I'm not going to win. Last minute snipers and I'm not going any higher

I remember when i got back into the hobby the first model i bought was an 071. Looking back now i wish i had bought more for as they are rare to come by.

I think over time re-runs will become more and more possible regardless of the model. The upcoming mk3 and mk2s for example will see prices reduce from what can be found on ebay

That result is excellent Noel

I really can't see them commanding such a price once the reruns come to market unless you were after mint in box examples. But to each there own.

At that price EGV coach could make a good donor for resprayed into IE/IR Tippex livery that is much sought after. That's how I got my first EGV some years ago when the IE/IR Tippex ones were as rare as gold dust

I'm sure there are some crying foul at such an action haha

Hey all, 

I'm looking for any pictures of the 201 hauled enterprise coaching stock following they're introduction. Specifically for placement of decals and transfers on sides and coach ends and running numbers. 

Any help or pictures would be greatly appreciated as I have only been able to find more recent livery examples. 

Lima set of galway livery mk2s and mm genny van in galway livery up on ebay for any interested. Sorry no links as i seen them through the app

Correct and right. Thank you very much

I was referring to mk2s in general as that to some they just see a over priced mk2 coach. They may not know or even care that there are variations with that class of coach in any case. 

Given the upcoming re-releases coming from MM they will have to drop in price at some point. They aren't going to get the return on investment they may have paid

Just have to built the genny and the dvt which are posts to follow 

Finally no.230 has some matching stock to haul having spent the last few weeks repainting hornby mk4s. Complete with passengers. 

As always guys I appreciate your feed back and thoughts. 

I remember seeing a video on YouTube where a model one had been resprayed the same as the grey 071s and it suited the 201

Thank you, i actually think it looks good 

Dos anyone know the story behind the black and silver 201? Is it a test livery? 

That'll put an end to the 150 euro mk2s on ebay

I may get saving my bank account wont forgive me 

I ordered paints off hattons and had them quick enough with no problems. May just have been due to the relatively low value. 

I shall be patient. Hopefully when shows open back up I'll be able to snap up some bargain one then. 

I know, i didn't even pay that for mine.
