WRENNEIRE

THE JACKS ARE BACK :cheers:

Agree with you there Paul, getting better and better

The hardwood objects are splints that were carried in the first aid kits on Cravens

Lot of strange people here too Eamonn but hey, that's why we joined! PS talking about strange My spell-checker underlined Eamonn and what was the only change I could make? MOONBEAM Now that's buckin strange!

Hope to be there with loads of Irish stuff, always enjoy the Erne show

I have been pulling the house apart looking for a boxed version of the Lima HO A Class (Cl33) 8015 in case anyone has one lying around I have only found one which is incorrectly boxed, still a few places to search but its not looking good

Have watched this yoke grow since it was a baby and enjoyed every reincarnation of it, Just gets better and better And as Fran says a mixture of hard work and listening to feedback has helped Eoin bring it to wher eit is today Couple of souls here should listen and try to emulate him

It's hardwood

What are these?

Couldn't agree more Josef, well said. If a thread does not appeal to you, don't open it, simples.

Just to get the thread started Some models I ended up with through no fault of my own! 1:200 DC-9-50 McDonald Douglas Austrian Airways 1:200 Lockheed L-1011-500 DELTA Airlines Airwolf body Bought for a project that will never happen, pity as its a cracking kit.

Cheers Phil Still a lot of stuff to cover, Lima did some O Gauge & N Gauge in Irish livery's and there is some Hornby Irish as well Also hope to cover the MIR Freight range and some other bits, so stay tuned!

Good day at Stillorgan yesterday, we even got to see the fly past of most of the planes through the back door of the hotel. Picked this up from a UK trader! Always worth a good root in their unpacked stock, he didnt even know what it was!!

Eoin The loco is a Jouef HDI model Made in Shannon in the late 70's early 80's They did 3 "Irish" locos and also some coaches There were three ranges of loco produced - one type used a simplified chassis from BB 17000/25521, with single-axle drive, usually powered by a Mabuchi (Hong Kong) can -type motor, though the design of motor bogie also allowed fitting of the open-frame Jouef 3-pole motor. The bodies of these models were all unique to the HDI range and in most cases some trouble was taken to evoke the characteristics of the real locomotives. The alternative range used bogies from the DB electric locomotives 110/139/182 listed in the 1978/79 main Jouef catalogue, but again with the Mabuchi motor and single-axle drive and the bogie adapted to take the Jouef 3-pole motor. The same body (a reasonable representation of a V200) is common to all. We assume that the SNCB, NSB and DSB versions were thought to look like Nohabs. Also produced but not catalogued was a version of 8501, the SNCF Y51100 locotracteur, moulded in black with a white CIE logo embossed on the cab sides.
