Those WCR coaches!!!

There are a lot less retail options than there were ten or eleven years ago, plus, I'm not so sure that Adverts.ie is an auction site. I assume that post was to identify this thread as the non-eBay one, in which case, it's going pretty well! Rails ROG Class 47 20% off using code ROG20, only until Sunday 26th February: https://railsofsheffield.com/collections/class-47812-rail-operations-group Valid on all three variants; DC, DCC sound and custom weathered.

Sorry, Daimler Fleetline is what I meant! So the EFE casting is useless for them?

Nice slideshow of Irish transport photos. Mainly buses and trams. Quite a few Leyland LD looking vans. Nobody seems to do them in 1:76, only 1:43. Curious about the bus around 00:52. Looks like one of those EFE Leyland Atlanteans.

The Supra under the canopy! What a shot!

I'd like to see some Darius compilations on YT. I could sit back and watch your clips for fifteen minutes and still be glued to the screen.

A few random boxes just before the turn-off for Ifonche, at the bottom of La Escalona just now. There are some sort of apparently abandoned construction projects on both sides of the road, so I'm assuming that these boxes have been bought / borrowed / rented / stolen for something to do with the projects.

Baccy = Bachmann.

Sounds painful. Wouldn't happen if your distribution centre was somewhere neutral. And sunny.

Probably defeats the purpose of the streamlining. Too many different VAT and customs regimes around the world. Easier to sell it as is and let the recipient pay tax on arrival. Plus, you have the incompetent boobs at An Post who are going to ignore the DDP paperwork as they frequently do, then Accurascale have to deal with even more work because of the subsequent claims.

My Estrella sleepers appear to be about 305mm-ish.

How about your ONE customer in the Canary Islands? Part of Spain but not part of the EU for customs and taxes. Postage also difficult due to the geography, usually more expensive.

Kind of the same thing. I paid what I thought was insane money for a 111 last year, and they're now going for one and a half times that. What's a bargain to one may be a rip-off to another, and what's a price-gouge today may be a bargain tomorrow. Plus, that Bachmann steam set was savage value. No way you could say that wasn't a bargain.

Thanks! I'd never heard of them until a year or so back, and never seem to see their products for sale anywhere.

If you go back a year or two, 141's and 181's outstripped 071's for resale value, or at least were on par. The arrival of the 121's and the A's, combined with the likelihood of a new run of 141's / 181's has put paid to the resale prices to some extent. If IRM or Paddy Murphy were to say that they were working on an 071 / 111 project and hoping to have it on the shelves in two or three years time, I reckon that would eat into the resale value of the 071's to some extent. Not for all, obviously, but for many people, I believe that it would make a difference. If not, then maybe next year they'll literally be selling for €750 a pop.

Yup, I saw that they have a website.

Who are Cavalex models? They aren't mentioned here too often, something about having to abandon a loco project because Hornby re-tooled their own version, but that's it. I saw a video somewhere, and it appears to be too guys named Cav and Alex. Hatton's don't appear to stock their range.

Did he say that the coaches are 1:93,5 scale? Disappearing drivers are definitely a neat idea!

I found some of that piece of text online, but was hoping for a bit more.

Hi-Story HS315GR Toyota Starlet GT Turbo, the 1989 EP82 variant, pre-headlamp masks and with the full length light strip across the boot. These cars looked black in real life but had a very faint green flip / tint, which Hi-Story have managed to replicate.

Not so sure that they are bargains but sharing them here increases the odds of them going to somebody who is a genuine enthusiast, whatever the price. Seller might be flexible, somebody might be prepared to pay a big whammy to find that one missing loco, or IRM might drop some more photos of themselves measuring and scanning the real-life locos and put the kybosh on the current market prices.

Yeah, I found some wierd stuff while searching for Ashburton Grove!

What did you say about no more 071's this decade???
