WRENNEIRE

The HDI range includes the 40 & several other European models including coaches Cant put my hand on the catalogue at the moment The Mk 3's were made here. Interestingly they never had the HDI logo on the base, the factory closed before they had time to change it Also the boxes were printed with Made in Ireland and also had stickers placed over the Made in France ones So the top 2 box's have France blocked out with an Ireland sticker The next one has a complete Made in Ireland sticker And the last 2 are kosher Made in Ireland printed box's Also look at the box gables and the darker ones are original Made in Ireland ones and the lighter are overlabelled French ones Took me a couple of years to track them all down Bet your sorry you asked now!

To the best of my knowledge they were slightly dearer Fran A lot went to the States, they were on sale in Shannon Airport and the immigents brung them back to the States as a souveneer from the auld sod A lot of these sets turn up in France where the HDI brand is still very collectable

Both made from RTR coaches, not Silver Fox units Early Livery, Late Livery,

Watch this space Ed!

I was a little saddened by the Cost Rica result I was hoping for a nail biter when they played Engerland in the last group match Not gonna happen now, so I have 2 tubs of Pringles and a litre bottle of Fanta if anyone wants them? Waylon Francis is one of the best names from the group !

Jouef also produced some sets Set # 01.7995.51 Track in these sets is mega rare, HDI Made in Ireland

A dummy unit would actually cost more than one with a motor Sounds silly I know but is has to do with a different chassis being produced for the dummy, The new mouldings dye alone would almost set off the cost of the motor It was looked at and it has been declared a non runner (sorry!)

Download this chart Also could I recommend Specksavers, they are terribly good at sorting out this kind of thing? (EnChroma lenses) http://www.ralcolor.com/

Nice find Fran, been looking at having one made by "a friend" Also see he refers to Cu na Mara as Connemara, which is completely wrong When I went to Borstal, Cu was a Dog and Mara was the Sea So Sea Dog or Dog of the Sea would be more correct?

Just confirmed that #208 & #209, in NIR original blue livery, will also arrive in time for the Oct.show. happy days!

Sweet, Minister Maybe AXL could hook up with her for a new version?

Finally, details of new releases for 2014. Arriving in time for the October show in Dublin will be Class 201 #230 'River Bandon' in original Enterprise livery and #233 'River Clare' in original Enterprise livery with full yellow cab ends. And due at the end of November, in time for Christmas, will be the next batch of Mkii coaches. Livery will be CIE Supertrain. There will be 7 coaches comprising 1st., Composite, 3 Standards, restaurant, and EGV. Class 201s will be limited quantities, price TBA. Mkiis will be usual quantities, again price TBA. As, no doubt, you are aware, labour costs in China have increased substantially over recent years and this year are up by 10% so I reckon there will be an increase in price
