He was not comparing the models to a work of art, rather the way the insurance company would view insuring them
A catalogued list of what was to be insured and a replacement value of each item.
Not for me !
Had an insurance guy in the house one evening
He explained that it would be something similar to "works of art2 insurance where the policy would be a percentage of the overall cost of the collection
So somewhere between 10 - 12.5%
Asked him to finish his coffee and naff off
Anto
Something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay
I do not particularly like the model. too "toylike" for my taste but if someone is willing to pay €300 - €400 let them at it
Look at the price of the Jouef HDI locos, averageing around the €200 - €300 mark and they are crap
Beauty is in the wallet of the beholder
Launched at the same time as the River Boyne
LT600002 the Mk 3 Executive set
500 sets produced
And wrongly described as
NIR SET composed by 2 coaches MK111.
Coaches numbered 7161 & 7162
Dont know anything about the €159.99 locos
RRP for these locos is €174.99
Some deals may be had at the show but not sure what they are
No sound available at the moment but there will be some DCC display at the Murphy Model stand
Have to post a pic, I cant hold me water!!!
Spot the missing box P?
The 071's have landed and are being sorted as we speak
All the 112's but only half of the 071/082's
The rest wont be here till second half of November
Dont know whether to post pics or not
Maybe leave some anticipation, nay excitement for the weekend
Official launch at midday on Saturday at the MRSI show
Good news is #071 & #082 have cleared customs. Bad news is #112 is 2 days late arriving(slow boat FROM China?).
But there will be stock of all 3 locos for the show,.
Please note there is a sales embargo until noon on Saturday, when the class 071 will be officially launched at the show..
We also expect to have Cl.071 DCC chips available.
