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

Managed to hold on to a couple, If Carlsberg made Sulzers......... This one was wresteled from me for an O gauge A Class and some MIR wagons, a trade I did not do lightly.

MTK are now part of the Phoenix Precision Paint group. They also have No Nonsense Kits who I think took over MTK at one stage As Kirley says they are out of scale and also a pig of a kit to work with

Same seller Early November http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190745331912?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 £205 stg + £15 p&p Eh Josef, when did we get Hymeks? Think I may have missed that one

Turned this up today at the Bray event 1978/79 catalogue, Irish edition Unfortunatly it did not have an Irish insert, Ref 600181

Bray on again tomorrow 10am 3 pm Last show of the year Tomorrows collection will be for ALONE

The 1982 Irish Accessories sheet Single sheet with a King Class on the cover? I imagine this may have come as an addition to a 1982 catalogue similar to the 1980/81 sheet but I have yet to find a 1982 Irish Edition catalogue. Picked this up last night (2/8/13) 1981/82 catalogue It contained the Accessory sheet as described above.

Contact Walter, Kinvara Train of this parish. You will be pleasently surprised!

Something a little different for the Holidays girls. Just out of the cot after a second dose of man flu, knocked the oxball out of me The next installment of the MM gig is the 141 & 181's but as they will be fairly fresh in everyones memory and still available in a couple of locations I will leave them till the New Year These are some LIMA Irish catalogues and pictures They show what was available before MM got involved and back in the day it was this or scratch build This is the earliest catalogue I have found to date so if any of you sad bastards have an earlier one I would love to see it Its the Lima 1980/81 Irish Edition Catalogue number on the rear is 600181 The outer catalogue with reference to Irish Edition The actual catalogue is 68 pages worth and shows all UK outline models and accessories in OO & N Gauge including track, accessories and Power controllers. Some track plans were also included in OO & N However "The Piece de Resistance" is the 4 page insert which was included within the catalogue Reference number 600140 British rolling stock on the cover, great start! Next 2 pages show 2 sets that were never produced, 105020 Western Express And 105821 C.I.E. Emergency Service The back page shows all the models that were supposedly available at the time but I have yet to see the 303203W Sundries in OO gauge I will post some more catalogues over the weekend

Funny set this It has made from a low of €175 to a high of €320 I see yours is still sealed so it will include a 120 transformer and the Bachmann ez track The sum of the individual parts is greater than what it brings as a set so maybe sell the items individually Postage on the set is around €20 so that has to be taken into consideration as well Have seen a couple recently at shows one at €220 and the other at €250 One problem with the set is that the loco is unnumbered and does not come with a sheet of numbers.

No thanks One of these instead please

Kieran Thanks for that, Have it somewhere in mag form, never copied it to my PC Spent the last few days looking for it but still cannot find it However I did find this article and thought I should share Its from 2008.

If they have a model shop, you could kill 2 birds with 2 stones?
