Some sad news today troops
Bob Gregson (AKA BobFlob on eBay) passed away over the weekend
Bob was a regular at the Stillorgan show and indeed the older Clontarf show
Wheelchair bound for the last 7 years or so he still made it over regularly from Accrington in Lancs
Indeed I went over to see him in 2002 when there were strong rumours of David Ginola signing for Accrington Stanley
He didnt sign but I still had to go and see Stanley play against Gainsborough Trinity. Funny the things you remember at a sad time

Where to now troops?
Jouef did some bits that are actually worse than the Lima/Hornby stuff
Then there are the various kits made by M.I.R. Worsley Works, Studio Scale Models Branchlines etc
Answers on a €20 note please
Another Bargain!

I think there are a few Shem
Front is one and the second has only 4 letters (hunt)
Another 4 lettered one comes to mind but I will leave it to yourself

I currently do not have a box for my R721 Coach, willing to part with some of my Communion money if there is one knocking about out there.

Hornby saw what was happening with the Lima Irish stuff and they were not far behind with these sets and other boxed items. They did it themselves but only one issue of these items were made, they never re issued them
