Nice looking 2700 for €200. Includes DCC chip. Graham's Resprays seem to have been good. The lining in particular on this one is well done. There was a botched looking one for €300 a few weeks back. https://touch.adverts.ie/models/irish-model-railway-iarnrod-eireann-2700-dmu/29286004

Royal Mail International Bulletin: https://www.royalmail.com/international-incident-bulletin Says that they have re-started a lot of their services but not all.

Sorry, one more question. Is an Accurascale.eu account invalid for Accurascale.com? Tried logging in using my Accurascale.eu account but it says that it doesn't exist. I know that my Accurascale account is distinct from my IRM account, that's not the issue, it's just to find out if I need two seperate Accurascale accounts.

Wow! That GWR green is something else! Are the Accurascale Exclusive ranges only available from the UK site, or will they be available on the European / global site? I only ask as the likes of the EWS Class 31's are UK only, not available on the European / global site.

D'oh, missed out again!

Not so cheap these days: https://www.ebay.es/itm/402686751554

Not sure if this Murphy 143 sold or was withdrawn, but €170 wasn't a bad price - if you don't get hit for additional VAT: https://www.ebay.es/itm/255960304751

So all of those sole traders in their Transits are just villains!

Corgi Mk3 Ford Transit that somehow survived my childhood largely intact.

And at an outstanding price, too, less than €350! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/railcar-class-22000-icr/products/ie-22000-class-icr-3-car-in-2020-ir-livery-with-blue-doors-cycle-graphic

Do you search for Egyptian models often? I guess the amount of clothing would determine whether your searches are forum-friendly or not.

Makes sense I guess. Plus, the 170 looks a bit funky for a 22000. A GWR 800 with the pantographs removed would look better.

I see that this is also on Adverts.ie for a similar price - not bad considering what Chris charges for these when new: https://touch.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/irish-rail-model-railway-ie-22000-dmu-3-car-set/28910438 Says that it's unavailable. I assume that means that it was withdrawn? https://www.ebay.es/itm/354516529745

Pair of IRM Taras for €80, great price, sold-out at IRM and Marks Models: https://touch.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/model-railways-irish-railway-models-tara-mines-wagons-x-1packs-g/28777219 Pair of IRM Spoil wagons for €110, good price, specially for this particular seller, and a good way to get yourself some empty Flats for C-Rail containers: https://touch.adverts.ie/models/irish-railway-models-wagons/28361598 Whole model railway for sale, including stock, for €850: https://touch.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/model-railway/27123713

I suspect that it's a combination of climate, economic situation and the older generation not having that throw-away mentality of today. Lots of shiny new cars on the roads here but lots of cars that you wouldn't have seen in Ireland the past twenty years. Video and a few stills of him trundling past, with Boluda and Tex cameos on the TF1 behind, at the end - colour is a bit off as the original video was almost all just shadows so I had to lighten it up like crazy and drop the contrast.

Fairly ancient but fairly common here.

Lovely shot!

Just saw this on the way to the bus stop. No containers in sight but still pretty cool.

I whine and complain about gougers making a fortune and depriving genuine enthusiasts in the process. We don't know what this seller paid, maybe they travelled to Dublin to buy them, maybe they had them posted to a UK address, so maybe they're making €5 or maybe they're making €15 EURO. Either way, their cut is tiny, if there is one at all, and it's still a savage price for some lovely looking wagons. It's the gougers who are adding hundreds to the prices and / or bought only to speculate that annoy me. Evan Kelly, I'm looking your direction!

Nice to see an honest seller - title, description and lead photo all mention "Dicky". If only there were more sellers like this: https://www.ebay.es/itm/144922075863

And that was the minimum size and weight. I ended up with a box of air, so found something else to fill up the space. Correos en Canarias don't price like Correos España. You buy the tarriff and make the most of the space and weight. I have a rake of the original IRM Container liners to sell, probably for €650 odd, don't care if anybody objects to the mark-up, but I have no way of getting them to a buyer, so they sit on top of my wardrobe, laughing at me.

A. That's the wrong product. The SKU and running numbers are IN MY ADVERT. B. The username and avatar should be a giveaway. Various members have even joked about it on here before. C. None of that needs to be clear in the advert. The asking price is the asking price. D. There is no defence. If somebody doesn't know what they are talking about, they should stop talking. E. Canaries ARE a special case - we'll see just how bad postage from here is when @Westcorkrailwayposts a photo. F. I'm the one taking the risk by undervaluing it while getting it up to Dublin, so that the buyer doesn't have that risk- all that risk for €20 that may not even be profit as I can't calculate what it cost me to receive initially. G. Just wait till you see how much it costs me to post an A Class up, again with me taking the risk by undervaluing it so that the buyer doesn't have that risk.

Truth is, I can't be 100% sure what the postage cost to me was at the time of purchase. I'm guessing €10 if I break down the cost of a larger parcel pro-rata, but can't prove that. And DHL raped me with exorbitant handling charges at one point, when IRM were stuck using them temporarily. Again, I can't be sure if this was one of those parcels. Something like €40 or €50 handling fees per parcel. Not per order, but per parcel. Maybe @Westcorkrailwaywould be so kind as to share a photo showing the postage price of the parcel that he received from me? Somewhere between half and a quarter of the size of this one...

OK, just for you two numpties, where maths obviously isn't your strong point: €115 for the Empty Flats from IRM - price still on the website so look it up... €35 postage from Las Canarias to Dublin... €10 customs and "handling fee" before An Post will release it - declared it as a low value gift to keep that amount down... €20 to me for investing the time, energy and money in making something that was impossible to obtain, suddenly be available, in perfect condition, for collection in Dublin... And, it's also possible that these were one of the parcels that DHL raped me for receiving back in the day, but I can't be sure so haven't factored it in. I'm too busy in work for this shit during the week. Maths is easy. If you want to buy them, well and good, if not, good for you. Lord, give me patience!
