I know a man ............

On the subject of Sulzers I was DCCing this one earlier today

If you are looking for one WestCork try Chris Dyer, enquiries@chrisdyerfairs.co.uk He hopes to be in The Republic before Christmas which may help to alleviate any Brexit difficulties that we expect to be foisted upon us.

My idea about Brexit: A man in a hot air balloon realizes he is lost. He reduces altitude and spots a man below He drops down further and shouts to him " How are you getting on man, I promised my pal I would meet him an hour ago but I dont know where I am" So the man replies " You are in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 10 meters above the ground. You are between 40 & 41 degrees North latitude and 59 & 60 degrees West longitude." "You must be an Engineer" says the balloonist "I am, how did you know" says me man. "Well" says the balloonist, " everything you told me is technically correct, but I cant make head nor tail of your information, and the fact is I am still lost. Frankly you have not been much help so far" "You must be a Brexiteer" says me man. " I am," replies the balloonist " but how did you know?" "Well" says me man " you dont know where you are or where your going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow its my fault!"

All along the banks of ........

Eight Euro to see Father Christmas! Waited for an hour in a queue and got a one minute meeting with him Got an absolutely rubbish toy What a bleedin' rip off, absolutely fuming. So glad I didn't bring the kids! And while I'm at it Why did Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

My last comments on this Murphy owns the moulds for the 141/181's not Bachmann He made sure of that after his involvement with Lima and his 201's Any alterations to the existing mould will add cost and in some cases a new mould may have to be made Not going to happen The A class are not retailing at €400 each, and there are more than 100 units being produced. What does this mean. makes no sense to me? There are 17 A class's being produced, I reckon 400 of each at least so 6,800 locos which will cover the cost of tooling and allow them to be sold at €190 a pop

In my parish we dont mention Hattons Murph, selling below RRP of a brand new model is not cricket as the Brexiteers say Not aware of their work practice but I know that the models have been shipped to them.

Still, time for IRM to get the 141's, 181's and 071's onto their roadmap, if Murphy Models are not in a position to re-run them over the next few years. For the last time people, re runs are not going to happen unless you fancy paying €400+ for the privilege The initial runs were produced with the minimum amount of models produced 504 of 12 different liveries which is just over 6000 models. So the moulds are still there and that cost can be subtracted from the next run but it would mean making 3500+ models which means 290+ of each livery. So I reckon 100 of each livery might sell, what happens the rest?

There were 21 bids on this loco from 9 bidders Final price works out at around €310 Weld on another €25 for p&p and you have one expensive loco

Sad to hear of the passing of David Prowse, best known for his portrayal of Darth Vader in the Star War series Many believe that James Earl Jones played Vader but he was the voice, and Prowse was the actor Also known to some of us of a certain age who would remember him as The Green Cross Code actor Was also the British heavyweight weightlifting champion a number of times May the force be with you David

Just for the record: MM 125 MM 131 MM 127 MM 130 MM 133
