WRENNEIRE

Think I have one in a stock box somewhere if you are interested?

Didnt see any pics of Mala Mala or Hazelwood house? STORY:mad:

This is the BR version of the Irish freight set It has a white wagon (Gulf I think ) and also the Motorail car carrier Looks like it could be a mixed version of both sets The Irish car carrier is a darker shade of Blue/Green and does not have the Motorail logo The Supertrain A Class was a more common loco compared to the IR one which came in the Irish InterCity set This set also has Capris on the box lid and also in the car carrier If you ever get a chance to have a scout at the box could you check the reference number please? Irish IR InterCity sets carried the ref LIMA 106300X03 for the freight set & LIMA 106300X02 for the passenger set

Whitehead last August

Probably this set Rich L106300X3

Tom, if its legal you can covince me as well please

Its the second half of the freight livery delivery Orange one should be here second week in Dec

After Lima had some success with their N Gauge models in the late 60's early 70' they decided to enter the British OO market However their scale was HO and they produced HO models from about '73 They did not look correct when compared to similar British outline models and they decided to manufacture in OO This was completed by '77 so as can be seen there was a small 4 year window when these models were produced. The Irish company Toys International and in particular its General manager John Byrne was approached by the Wrenn brothers with a view to becoming the Irish agent for Lima and in '74 they met at the Nuremburg Toy Fair. John Byrne brought up the subject of Irish liveries as there was now for the first time an Irish agent. Christmas '74 saw the introduction of the HO Supertrain set, the real one had just been launched by CIE the previous year. So historically this is the first Irish outline set that was available to buy RTR Incidentally John Byrne later moved to Hornby and was also responsible for the Hymek sets. A very collectable set for any serious Irish collector.

Or 2-3 on Sept 29th?

Thread should be changed to "What a come down by United!"

Website: http://www.chrisdyerfairs.co.uk'>http://www.chrisdyerfairs.co.uk Dublin contact: Dave Bracken 086 8798330 November 2012 PRESS RELEASE............ SOUTH DUBLIN TOY & TRAIN SALE The Stillorgan Park Hotel, Stillorgan. Dublin. (Main N11 route). Saturday 8th. December 2012 - 10.30am to 3pm. The very first “feast” for toy & train collectors is taking place on Saturday 8th. December at the top Stillorgan Park Hotel, alongside the Nll route to Wexford, in South Dublin, between 10.30am and 3pm and the show is already fully booked. Traders from all over Ireland plus some from the North and others from the UK are attending this major event and no less than 80 tables will be in operation, offering a massive range of goods, old and new, with a great many bargains on offer. Such names as Dinky, Corgi, Matchbox, EFE, Hornby, Bachmann, Tri-ang, Wrenn, Lima and many, many more will feature and also doll collectors will be catered for as well as model-related books being on offer. Some of the model railway retailers will also be offering the ever-growing ranges of Irish-based models and these days, unlike some years ago, there is a great deal available for the modeller and collector of the Irish model railway and transport scene. This all-new event is planned to be the first of regular shows at this great venue (350 free parking spaces at the rear of the hotel and catering available throughout) and the plans were given fresh impetus recently when the co-organizers of the former Dublin Toyfair at the Clontarf Castle Hotel, announced their retirement and the ending of all of their future events, with immediate effect. As a result, this new venture will now take place three times each year, in order to bridge the gap which has resulted and the next show is scheduled for Sunday 17th. February. Organizer Chris Dyer said this week, “We have high hopes for this completely new Dublin show and it is taking place in a very good area of the city. We have attracted stall-holders who have not been seen at such events for some time and we hope to create a really happy and good atmosphere with the main emphasis on value-for-money”.

Picked these up on the Bay recently Been hoovering around for them for a long time Saw them catalogued in Ramseys a good few years ago but I had never seen them in the flesh Off to their new home with my other Irish N Gauge bits in a Billy press!

My understanding is that he is doing a dedicated chip for Murphy Models, so it will have to be bought from your local retailer

If you had been going by 8 years ago I would have shown you the inside of Coolock Station

Would be interested if Dave does not take it Grandson getting too interested in my Irish stuff, it might keep his little paws off them!

This is similar to the yoke I drove
