They are taking the piss methinks

Check out his Negative feedback, looks like a piece of work

I have been approached by an embarrassed modeller who is forced to sell some stock His offer was too expensive for me as everything was priced at full value and hence no chance of making my usual exorbitant profit on it However the stock is of such high quality that I suggested I would flash it to the great unwashed No layout so everything is as it came out of the shop And remember they are his prices not mine so little or no room for negotiation Lima set 149439, Galways x 2 €150 each Lima Set 149439-1 Mk3 x 2 + Mk 2 x 1 (2 sets) €150 each River Corrib River Erne River Blackwater River Dargle €150 each MM141 MM165 MM181 MM188 €110 Each MM142 MM161 MM182 MM190 €100 EACH If there is any interest I can arrange delivery at the Stillorgan Show next Sunday it that suits?

Massive as in the dogs ... Very 112 ish, maybe a tad bigger but similar in style etc

Saw some pics last night My spy is afraid of his gick to give them to me The yellow front looks massive! Might have some eventually but I reckon they will be in the public domain by then.

Jouef HDI is a very collectable brand Made in Ireland for a start! Only lasted a couple of years And although a lot of items were produced in the Shannon factory the HDI brand was not printed on all their models, because of the cost involved in changing the moulds Collectors of HDI are widespread, especially in France Ugly, yes Prototypical, no ( and thats just the collectors) Some of these coaches have made over €100 back in the day Just remember there is no one standing over these bidders with a big stick, they are bidding because they want to buy! Last bid was a sniper, entered in the last 10 seconds before the auction ended I guarantee you he had a bid of up to £80 or more on the coach Just noticed that the coach has no inner, there is a window bar attached to it and it does not show on the photo, so another €10 for a standard Jouef coach to get an inner.

Have to agree with you Blu, looks loke a lazy mans effort at re liverying what was a lovely loco

Made €61 + €10 p&p

Saw a pic of an 071 in new livery this evening Very dark shade of grey all over Silver cabs are gone Had a yellow flash like 112 on the front Logos were not fixed Might have a pic over the weekend

Wear a vest, Paul Its mentioned in the little book you get when you retire Some even wear 2 pair of socks! Flash bastards

Most of my MIR kits are still selotaped in, taking off the protective paper was bad enough but now you wanyt me to cut the tape Dont think I could handle that K

Next show 17th Feb Trying a Sunday this time Speaking to both traders and the general public at the last show they seemed to prefer a Sunday gig rather than a Saturday one I will post a trader list in the next couple of days when we have our final tally

Thanks Dave, thats all I get? I have had to take these models out of their boxes for you people, even had to tear the protective paper off some of them. Gimme a break.............

January 08 saw the next issue of the Baby GM's 143 156 181 & 188 Again 500 of each produced

I dont there is a "one liner" in existence to sort out this mess. I find myself in a bad place regarding all the negative feedback on this issue Des and Anthony are both on my Christmas card list and I have spoken with both of them regarding all the issues brought up I have ordered 6 kits and hope to have them soon. One should be here tomorrow hopefully I am buying the kits to resell; I have some customers waiting for them I do not see any issue that cannot be sorted The acid test however will be whether or not the kits sell. When the kit arrives I will post some comments, however I do have to agree with Train Model and GMO71 in the way that the forum seems to have gathered like vultures to criticize SSM I have tried having some bits made commercially in the past and it was a nightmare, so bad in fact that I took a large hit and never went ahead with it The amount of time alone that goes into these projects is phenomenal and if time alone were charged at the average industrial rate the models would be twice as dear, but the thing that I really admire with any project is the balls to get up and do it, remember its money up front with all these projects, bring your items to market and then hopefully see the smile on your customers face when they purchase one Remember folks this model was available for view at Cultra for 2 days I never heard one negative comment, bar from the mean bastards who were giving out about the price, but they complain all the time anyway! Knowing the man that Des is, I am sure he will sort out some bits to remedy the concerns Knowing the man (and a half) that Anthony is, he has had time to ponder. We all know he jumps in first, asks questions later. He has pointed out some flaws in the model but let’s leave it at that. We are all in this hobby together; let’s enjoy it while we can They said the Titanic was the dogs gonads……..
