  1. Wow, £225 STG with six days to go!
  2. Actually, following on from that, which of the 141's and 181's sold quickest at launch? I know from WRENNEIRE's thread that the quantities produced were all either 500 or 504, and the launches were staggered with a few different running numbers every few months. So it's strange that the same five or six running numbers tend to pop up more frequently on eBay, B141, B165, 184 etc. 171 and B188 are the two that I'm hungry for but they don't ever pop up. Think I saw a 171 for €400 a few months back, but a ten year old 141 isn't worth three brand new 121's!
  3. Not as bad as the prices that some of them have been going for. At least Hattons are still reasonable for them when they come along.
  4. BNIB?
  5. I wonder if the release of the 121's will knock some sense into the incredible asking prices for 141's and 181's.
  6. You're spoil-ing us...
  7. That's a YouTube embedded URL so should play fine, irrespective of the forum.
  8. Gorgeous looking model alright, amazing detail, simply amazing. At least MM and IRM have broken that mold, constantly doing larger and larger runs to satisfy demand.
  9. I'd like to see another run of MM Mk2D's, both IR and Galway, extra EGVs and restaurants to match, and an RPSI twin pack of 303 and 304. And a partridge in a pear tree.
  10. Supply and demand. If enough were produced to satisfy demand, pricing would have to be affordable. Keep the quantity low and they can charge as much as they like. People will climb all over one another to get these.
  11. Ah, it's the Facebook yoke that was posted here a few months back?
  12. Wow!!!!!
  13. When is it due out and who will be stocking it?
  14. Any plans to start selling Club Orange or Tayto crisps through the website? Could do with either or both, too.
  15. BosKonay recently posted that theirs will ship from Ireland. Yes, IR 121's and IR Ballast wagons!
  16. It's not just the VAT upon arrival. For almost every non-EU parcel that arrives here, I pay 7% IGIC / local tax, and then a handling fee of €50 to €70 EURO for the luxury of having to pay the tax in the first place. What may work out of benefit to non-UK buyers post BrExit is a fall in the value of Sterling. The weaker it gets, the more Sterling product you can get for your money. I'm really hoping that Sterling doesn't fall any more, though, as our local economy survives on Brits having decent spending power - the more that their Sterling can buy, the better local businesses here will do.
  17. This is what I was thinking:
  18. About time... Because this has to be the saddest photo that you'll see today:
  19. I have a hazy memory of somebody claiming that they hadn't much interest in 071's because they weren't shteam!
  20. So it's the Ballasts that IRM don't yet have in stock, that you are missing? Not to worry, they aren't too far away, I'm sure!
  21. Where in the world did that happen???
  22. Where'd you get the 2700?
  23. For me, the A's are the rickety old rust-buckets of yesteryear, the 121's, 141's, 181's and 071's are the locos of today, and the 201's are "new" yokes, a bit funny looking because they don't have walkways along the sides. Hopefully, you also mean virtual bookshelves!
  24. I don't know what that is... To me, the old days mean the IR era...
  25. If there's a grey 071 in there, PM me!
