WRENNEIRE

The aloofness of the chap furthest from camera would suggest "management" to me Also meant to comment on the thread: "Weedkiller" Legend!

Any use? Lisburn 1975

5 Cl.071s are due to land in early March, viz. MM0073 IR weathered, MM0078 IE small logo, MM0080 IR, MM0086 CIE supertrain & MM0088 CIE original livery, and the last 2, MM0077 IE & MM0085 IE weathered, a few weeks later.

Richie Its true I was talking to "an employee" this evening and he showed me some pics on his phone Also mentioned that the complete 071 fleet was being overhauled as we speak, had some pics of the work in progress All going into Freight livery The words "Eddie Stobart" were whispered And I'm not buying pints!

Cant remember Fitz I have a ref to a set that sold in 2007 for £175 stg. It was a complete one still sealed.

Only 49 made Around £500 back in 01

How do you make a Garda laugh? Tell him your LADA was stolen

Managed to get this pic today PC still acting the goat The pic shows the Marks Model set, they removed the traffo and track and sold the set boxed with lable attached The second set is the sealed in plastic version for sad bastards..................

Still searching for a few bits Paul, but it gets harder and harder to find them.

Never took you for a farmer K

The MTK A & C will not be built!

Enjoy

Best loco Hornby made

HF Meeting a chap next Weds who has 6 for sale, not sure of numbers at the moment but they are boxed and unused according to him They were displayed with an N class on a shelf. I will keep you posted Any particular numbers or coach type you are looking for?

Bang on K PC is bushwhacked at the moment, cannot post any pics but its still wrapped in its plastic, same as Fitz Also have one that Marks sold, it has a sticker on the front saying the traffo has been removed I will hopefully post a few pics soon

Had a row once with a UK seller about postage He lived 12 miles from his local PO. had to feed the parking meter and also the cost of the packaging I bought the item anyway but lashed him out of it on his feedback What about these parcel banks all around the country, are they any cheaper?

Yep Paper CIE roundel that is just gummed to both ends of the loco Another eBayer has jumped on the band wagon and offered his Hymek at a £100 start, EBay Canada had some Irish bits recently and a Cl 33 A Class by Murphys made €132 Although made a lot more recently than the Hymek the MM A class had only 300 models made and the Hymek would have had at least 1500, as I read somewhere that they had to do at least 1500 back in the day? So what does this make the Slainte Express set worth?

White hat? Dont think so.

K Probably because the Murphy or SSM stuff can be bought cheaper than some of these older LIMA pieces!

Do they drive on the opposite side of the road
