WRENNEIRE

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,

Cyril Fry never lost anything This may have been "found" by the seller

Just out of the cot Crept downstairs and daren't open the dining room door But when I did, I think Paddy Murphy came last night, not Santa! Have a great Christmas girls, looking forward to the New Year already [TABLE=width: 718] [TR] [TD]MM5101[/TD] [TD]Murphy Models[/TD] [TD]CIE[/TD] [TD]CIE Supertrain Mk 2d 1st Class[/TD] [TD]5101[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]MM5152[/TD] [TD]Murphy Models[/TD] [TD]CIE[/TD] [TD]CIE Supertrain Mk 2d Composite[/TD] [TD]5152[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]MM5201[/TD] [TD]Murphy Models[/TD] [TD]CIE[/TD] [TD]CIE Supertrain Mk 2d Standard[/TD] [TD]5201[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]MM5223[/TD] [TD]Murphy Models[/TD] [TD]CIE[/TD] [TD]CIE Supertrain Mk 2d Standard[/TD] [TD]5223[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]MM5403[/TD] [TD]Murphy Models[/TD] [TD]CIE[/TD] [TD]CIE Supertrain Mk 2d Diner[/TD] [TD]5403[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

Before I became a serious WRENN collector I used to dabble with Hornby Dublo Hornby Dublo collapsed in 1964 . Their parent company, Meccano Ltd was taken over by Lines Brothers Lines at the time also owned Tri Ang and it was thought that having 2 competing railway product lines was not a viable option at the time So Tri Ang Hornby was formed. Wrenn was absorbed into the Lines family shortly afterwards Wrenn approached the Lines Board and asked if they could manufacture the Dublo models under the Wrenn name and permission was granted So began the Wrenn brand and indeed some of the first sets sold included some Hornby Dublo wagons and coaches but with the new Wrenn locos Wrenn loco with H/Dublo coaches Wrenn Loco with H/Dublo wagons and coaches

Hens teeth Robie MIR are no longer manufactured and its just a few sad bastards like myself that collect un-made kits that would have them There are a few small manufacturers out there making small runs of them and they turn up from time to time on eBay Check out Studio Scale Models, Irish Freight Models , D&M Models and all the other guys in the manufacturing thread on this forum

Priceless. Robbie.........

I contacted him when he first posted it on eBay, I think this is the 3rd listing for it Sent him a link to a similar Lima 201 that sold for £60. He thanked me and said he got big money for one in the past I sent him a link to MM and explained the reason why the arse had fallen out of the Lima 201's But would he listen.......

Doesnt say he made the trip down to to have his kit chipped, could have been work relater or a vacation Never assume anything....as the bishop said to the alterboy

Heres one to start with Kieran Drop Sided Cement wagon Top box contains a single kit and the bottom one contains 4

The 121, God bless her! This is the last one they did, resin body
