  1. Still looking for 4 x 146 Might be tempted to take them as trade in's against the new 071's?
  2. Clontarf fair on again this Sunday 10 am - 3 pm Most traders also accept part exchange, so if there are any bits lying about that you do not use , drag them along and trade them for something that you do need!
  3. Bad for a Dub to slag his own side but a laugh is a laugh: Whats blue and navy and goes Beep Beep? The Dublin Victory Bus being parked back in the garage
  4. pointed at one end and rounded at the other, with a flat section in between . I know her........................
  5. More a collectable piece than a runner Its HO gauge '75 - '78 Withdrawn then because the Irish/British gauge was OO Replaced in 78 with the familiar 00 version Boxed version (8015) always nice to have for a collector This loco also came in the CIE Supertrain set with 3 Mk 2 coaches.
  6. I think the set sare 3 rail, check them out before you buy!
  7. Hook up at Des's and then march to the pub
  8. Des Just wondering if you are attending the 3 day MRSI show in October? Your table would make a great spot for IRM members to hook up and introduce themselves
  9. Just on the Latin thing Richie My favourite Latin phrase from work was Cum catapultae proscriptae erunt tum soli proscripti catapultas habebunt (When catapults are outlawed, only outlaws will have catapults) I can just imaging the streets of Dublin full of catapults
  10. Anto Dont know if I mentioned it before but I was the treasurer in our Works social club Just before I retired I spotted this and snapped it up When I was asked what I would like for my presentation I handed over the loco. wrapped in lovely wrapping paper and also an invoice for the amount I paid I tried to look surprised at the "do" but it was impossible to keep the smile off my face!!!
  11. In November 01 Murphy Models commissioned an "O" Gauge Maunsell K1 2-6-0 "Woolwich" from Bassett- Lowke , now under the onership of Corgi Models Reference number is BL99005 The loco was turned out in C.I.E. Gren livery and a limited edition of 50 were ordered When the 50 arrived one was found to be a Schools Class , but packaged in the MM box Packaging with outer sleeve Hard to see in this light but the plaque shows the individual issue number of the loco, in this case #28
  12. Bray event this Sunday 10am - 3pm Try and make it if you are in the vacinity All proceeds to a very good cause This month its Barnardo's Still looking for some MM 146's if there are still any knocking around
  13. No 85 Sunday morning, Whitehead
  14. He is looking to produce his own but would not say which manufacturer he would be using until he has the deal finalised
  15. Baile Cois Farraige Had a great time at the show A lot of interest in the layout as we ran Irish only Mixture of freight (bubbles & pallet cements + A Class) and passenger Loads of interest from the public, although the numbers were not great for a 2 day free show. All in all though a well run event by the Ulster Model Railway club with 15 or more good layouts to look at I dont know what the retailers thought of it as I did not get to speak with Garreth before I left but there were 5 well stocked traders there Leslie from Provincial Wagons had some lovely new vans and was also selling off some of his older stock at bargain prices Love to hear some more feedback from members who attended.
  16. OV is return or zero volt wire 12v is the live or 12 volt wire There is no central position on the point, it is either in the straight or turn position Once you change the switch from one position to another the point remains in that position, you do not have to keep pressure on it
  17. October 2001 was the release date for the next 3 201's L205022 NIR 208 L205023 NIR 209 Also L205159 216 "River Dodder" Again 300 of each produced.
