Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker-function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen. Man: "Hello?" Woman: "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?" Man: "Yes." Woman: "I'm at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only two thousand euro. Is it okay if I buy it?" Man: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much." Woman: "I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2013 models. I saw one I really liked." Man: "How much?" Woman: "I think its 68,000 euro." Man: "Okay, but for that price I want it with all the options." Woman: "Great! Oh, and one more thing... The house we wanted last year is back on the market. The asking-price is 1.25 million." Man: "Well, then go ahead and give them an offer, but just offer 1 mil." Woman: "Okay, honey, you're the best! I love you!" Man: "Bye, I love you, too." The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are looking at him in astonishment. He starts to smile and asks: "Does anyone know whose phone this is?"

Plate from an Oil Tanker, I think it made €200 recently Plate says "This wagon must be quite full or empty while travelling on the Irish Railways"

Well done Brian Great to see them in the flesh Hope they sell well for you.

Saw the "Doort" on Sunday at Bray I must say it looked fantastic. From where it was 12 months ago at the Dun Laoghaire show where I saw it first to where it is now is a wonder to behold Between taking on board what all the ould wans here had to say and also battling along with his own (sic) ideas I thing Owen has to be congratulated Been speaking with my financial advisor and depending on finalised price I might throw me hat in the ring!

New banner, keep an eye out for it!

Lima ( Lavarazione Italia Metalli ed Affini) was founded to produce toy cars & boats etc in 1949. in 1958 they moved into producing toy trains which were manufactured in HO Scale. They made their first N Gauge models in 1966, there were Italian outline (surprise surprise) and they were available in the UK. Lines Brothers, who owned Tri Ang did a deal with Lima in 1967 whereby they used one of their subsidiaries, G&R Wrenn, to sell the Lima products and they then allowed Lima to produce their Big Big Train under license. Because of the success of their N Gauge models Lima decided in 1973 to enter the British market because there was only one main supplier at the time. Unfortunately for them they entered with HO scale models and as they were smaller than their OO Gauge counterparts they did not do as well as expected. They slowly started to replace their HO models with OO models and by 1977 they had completely replaced the HO ones. In 1977 Wrenn withdrew from their agreement with Lima and it is around this time that Lexie Keady and John Byrne were introduced to the Lima people because of their friendship with the Wrenn brothers. So starting with HO and moving onto N & OO we can see where we were before the current Murphy Models catalogue was produced and get down on our hands and knees to thank the man for saving us from these models.
