WRENNEIRE

I have most of the running numbers available if there is a loco that you may have missed back in the day!

Couple of Mk 3 repaints on eBay this evening, finished at around 7pm

They were at £5, so I thought I would have a little punt, finishing in 30 minutes

When I placed my bid I got the dreaded "Wont post to Ireland" notice

I checked the sellers location

COLERAINE!

Some sellers need help

So we're speaking now?

Kids layout?

Silver Fox A Class?

141 & Cravens?

201?

Leyland R Type 27A?

35 YEAR OLD KID METHINKS!

I would take a car load up from Dublin

Couple of fold down seats in the back so could bring 6 + myself

2 in the back would need to be skinny though

It was a line of the worst ever

What can I say, Honours Chineese!

Which as we all know means:

Are you my dear brother, you need mental help! They see a nice video though (in preparation)!

Hi Dave,

Welcome to the site!

John

Jonh Byrnes involvement goes back to his friendship with the Wrenn brothers, Cedric & George, They were friends and when Wrenn decided to stop their involvement with Lima they introduced John to the MD of Lima and this is where the HO Irish items were born.

John was the General Manager of Lexie Keady Ltd at this time. Together with Lexie they travelled to the Nuremburg Toyfair in 1974 and obtained the agency. John suggeste dthe repainting of the Cl 33 & Mk 11 coaches into the Supertrain Set and later the 4F & Mk 1 Coaches into the Old Irish Mainline set. When it was discovered that OO was the gauge of choice these items were in 1975 in OO gauge

Lima produced some sets during the 80's and these will be covered in a later thread

Paddy did not arrive on the scene till 1997

Lima first produced their N Gauge items in 1968, so I am presuming that John Byrne also was responsible for the Passenger & Freight Irish sets that were available at the same time as the HO sets.

Next item in the history lesson is the Lima Mk 111 restaurant coach

Item # L305340

A repainted BR Mk 3 coach, not prototypically correct but not too far off.

Only 300 of these boxed coaches were produced

Coach #7403

In April 2009 one of these ladies sold for €611.50 on EbaY!

Reckon you got out of gaol there Joe

About €50 worth of stuff there on a very good day

Sorry Anto

Should have said, its HO

Richie

A 20' chassis from Shapeways ( when available) would cost around €30 posted to Ireland

Multiple buys in the past had postage of around €5 on each item, they really ripped me off on postage

Dont know if they have fixed the postage cost now but they do work out expensive.

Always worth going to these smaller events

Couple of new traders there this morning

Diarmid Byrne (ex Greens Bookshop) selling books railway bits and pieces etc

Brendan Curran, selling American outline mainly but also some general railway bits

Our own Walter (Kinvara Train) is also a regular

Managed to pick up a little something for myself

Marklin BR-191 in mint condition

I have it in my Watch List

Seller has no feedback

The 2 main bidders have no feedback?

Smell a rat!

I'd have paid to see that particular waltz, like the lazy mating ritual of two fat geese

 

I'm not into mating rituals of either diesels nor geese, just to be clear

Your Avatar looks like a well mated goose

Eamonn

Can you scan the Catalogue and post it on here?

Like Mayner mine hit the Green Bin when Granny Bracken went on one of her mad cleaning binges

I broke every bone in her corset as a big thank you!

I have a list of all his wagons somewhere, I will try and dig it out

Anyone going to this gig in the morning?

Hope to be there around midday for an hour or so

There's a small kitchen there, handy for a chat or to just shoot the breeze

Richie

Its a picture of a picture

The original is in a box somewhere in the MRSI

I saw it when we were moving from one premises to another to facilitate some repairs to our clubrooms

Should be able to dig it out in the next couple of weeks

And.....

Malahide signal box before the new platform was built

Just for you

Take a model out of its box?

I'm a collector Gaz, gimme a break

Who takes stuff out of their box's?

I might have one thats not boxed, I will check it out for you.

Night school!
