WRENNEIRE

Killing some time on a wet August afternoon and I found this letter from the late Kevin Hutchinson He traded as Abbey Models and was one of the first dealers to supply MM/Lima products Kevin used to attend the Clontarf shows back in the day with his lovely wife Catherine Anyway have a look at some of the products that were being advertised at the time, March 2001 And have a look at the prices! L105501 became L105500X5, River Tolka set L105502 never made it out of Italy, unfortunately L149437 made it out, the River Bandon set L149438 No show. L149439 Escaped as L305340(#7403) This number was used on the original Galway set of coaches. L149440 Didn't make it out. Pity a 2 pack of NIR Mk2's including a dining car L204790 The class leader, #201 River Shannon L205018 #217 River Flesk L205019 #206 River Liffey L205021 #208 River Lagan L205022 #208 NIR Blue L205023 #209 NIR Blue

The 3 Accessory Packs IRM 1090KEG The 5 cages are numbered differently to the ones on the 42' flats 9317, 9452, 9548, 9788 & 9836 IRM 1091CIE20 The 2 Containers are numbered differently to the ones on the 42' flats 22021 & 22024 IRM 1092FERT

2 different suppliers but hopefully the decoders will be here around the same time

I think they might be the only ones, I remember reading about a company called Calvex I think, who announced they were to produce some 4mm ones "for the discerning modeller", along with a Class 91. They do produce a 2mm version but I haven't heard anything since

Very interesting about the turntable lads, good spot. New to me, never heard of a powered turntable

Should have one knocking about, I will give you a shout when I check the spares box

Exactly, it has to do with the amount that can be packed on a pallet, 126 box's I think

The usual 504 of each model

Spoils, 4 Packs, ABCD Pack A IRM 1070A #30128 & 30173. IRM 1071B #30121 & 30130 IRM 1072C #30134 & 30180 IRM 1073 D #30106 & 30131

I believe the prototype of the 3rd class is in the UFTM in Cultra?

Micro Rail had a 6 wheel Full Brake & a 3rd LNWR coach kit that was recommended as DNGR donors Although the Wolverton built Irish coaches were 6' wider they were very close to the real thing, (#4 - 6 & 14 - 16)

Absolutely, its the earlier version of the motor

Good man Ken, read this twice and I still haven't a bleedin clue what you are talking about! Might have a natter about it on Sunday at Bray?

Did you get my message? Give me a bell 0868798330 anytime (after 11am!!)

It may be possible to have 21mm sleepers commissioned and then just thread your rail through them, saw some packs of sleepers down in the MRSI, think they were for EM gauge (18mm as opposed to 16.5mm)

They were originally numbered 141 to 177 MM modelled 141, 165 in the 141 range in Black, but your 141A preserved is a non prototypical loco because basically it was a 181 Class repainted by the RPSI So it would have more modern lights and in a different formation than the original locos Maybe see if anyone here might swap for a 165?

Sent you a PM

Just heard on the grapevine that the Greys will ship in Mid August, so hopefully available from early September

Picked these up over the last couple of weeks BCDR Fence Notice And this: Belfast Tramway Department
