It is with deep regret that I have to inform you of the passing of a Modelling legend John Byrne, who worked for Lexie Keady in Toys International and later was the Hornby rep for Ireland He also ran a shop in Rathfarnham, Toyland John passed away at 6.30 am yesterday D'fhéadfadh go mbeadh Dia trócaire ar a anam As an aside to Johns sad passing, along with Lexie Keady he was responsible for the involvement of Lima in the Irish model railway scene John was a good friend of the Wrenn Brothers, George & Cedric. Wrenn had been involved with Lima and were pulling out of the arrangement to concentrate on producing their own models. John was informed that the agency was available and together with Lexie Keady they approached Paolo Bizzatza, the owner of Lima at the time. Shortly afterwards the first Lima HO models in Irish livery appeared and the rest is history. Reposing at the White Fathers Missionaries of Africa, Cypress Grove Road on Saturday from 2pm with Funeral Mass on Monday at 12 noon followed by burial in Bohernabreena Cemetery.

Just have to settle for a VW Polo then man.........

Any news on the Lancashire trader Chris, what does he propose to bring, is he a train or diecast dealer?

I have to agree with DhuV. Dont cut up a kosher "A" 33, Use an older BR liveried one, flea bay has hundreds of cheap ones I will post a couple of pics on the various "A" 33's when I can dig them out I reckon there are 6 varients

Have a couple of made up flats George, I would love it to box one in Also there is some writing on the box I have, I like them nice & clean

Do you remember Quicksilver Kieran? Take the money or Open the Box!

Just found an R8572 here while looking for Baseboard Daves engine shed Brand new in box!

MIR's version of the 42' flat is our next model This version was white metal and also contained a 40' container The container was available as a separate kit

Or a priest or a relative

Have one somewhere Dave, I will dig it up for Bray Wheelers on the 25th

86 Wagons?

Noel Found these over the festive period while looking for something completely different These were the Hornby Dublo Breakdown cranes in another life A GWR crane, not sure if this existed or not but GWR was my favourite UK Livery A CIE version, very close to our own steam cranes

With postage I reckon this would have cost around €110 landed over here Worth the money do you reckon?

Anyone notice this little number on the bay? Seller says its a makers plate from an A Class motor, 1955 vintage

This Happy New Year gig 2015, I will give it about a year

Lá breithe shona duit Prionsias

Eoin My Saviour Looks like WB did not get what he wrote on his list.......

Read the line above the list girls Looking forward to the New Year already and then the list of soon to be released Supertrain coaches I really think Hon English should be a prerequisite for joining the site

Read the entry AGAIN No one said they were Supertrain coaches You would think even at Christmas you could behave

In 1972 Wrenn became an independent company again Tri Ang Rovex had gotten into financial trouble and all the various companies in their control were sold off Subsidising their overseas manufacturing was thought to be the main cause of their trouble Gallagher Brothers, the cigarette people, attempted a rescue bid but withdrew it when the full debt of the company was revealed Around this time Hornby as we know it today emerged after Rovex Ltd was sold and a new brand was required I remember reading that during the 2nd World War the factory was used to manufacture Sten Guns,
