WRENNEIRE

Saw these last night, there are 5 unfortunately

I still see this set knocking about, usually in the €250 - €300 range for the one with traffo & track slightly cheaper without. Again this one turns up from time to time and is generally in the €200 bracket

Remember these bad boys from my days keeping the country safe from foreign invaders I think we were supposed to throw red hot turf at them The Pot Belly Stove!

"Larceny of a Stove from CIE Brake Van" This was the last crime on my desk before I retired Galtee and I would love to solve it before I depart from Platform 1 So could I have your dads address please, and has anyone a lend of a trailer?

Or the Elsan Van?

Handrails in the post Rob!

Robert I have a couple of sets of MM Handrails, any use to you?

As handy as a small pot!!!

I feel I am knocking my head against a wall here

Picked this up this afternoon, any thoughts? Hornby Eurostar non powered unit as a donor Another donor could be the Hornby Blue Rapier

I feel your pain man, keep up the good work

Just for the record men. Pack 1075 A 30006 on top, 30167 underneath Opposite side 1076 B 30114 on top, 30202 underneath Opposite side 1077 C 30118 on top, 30109 underneath Opposite Side: 1078 D 30072 on top, 30139 underneath. Opposite side: And all boxes come with instructions and spare parts

7 MM? Do you do any 4MM?

2 sets are enough I think man Look at the first page on the Lima /MM thread its all there

MMIE The Murphy 201 was no a re run The original 201's were manufactured by Lima in Italy, whereas the MM ones were done by his manufacturer in China Regarding a re run there are some costs involved The moulds etc which are owned by PM have to be taken out of storage The factory floor has to be cleared of its previous job Then the models are made painted and detailed, boxed and readied for shipping Then the factory floor is readied for the next job So irrespective of the amount of models being produced all these different jobs incur the same cost which adds dramatically to a small production Hornbys Limited Editions are usually 1000 - 2000 models whereas the regular production runs are in the 10,000 range

I was out this afternoon prowling Was shown this Mk 2 d Genny What do you think? Bit of undercoat showing Interesting for the collector

So only buying one JHB?

No George, something to do with paint not taking, there are 3 different forms of plastic on the body and I think there was a reaction with one of them (EBay looking good for you atm!!!)

I mentioned this before people! The cost of a re run would be prohibitive because of the numbers involved There are 18 various models with a run of 504 of each, over 9000 all told this is just about the minimum run that could be made in order for MM to make a few bob China at the moment wants bigger runs, so to do a run of 2000, your model would be costing in the €250 - €300 bracket or more depending on whether they would even entertain making the model or not Not going to happen!

No definite dates yet, but the latest I have heard is that the Grey locos will be the first to arrive, some problem arose and now it looks like the IE's are held up and the greys will be here first, they will be shipped this month.

So looking at the prices achieved from the top OO Brake van, $68, 10 bids 5 different bidders HO Mk 2 in a good box, $28, 16 bids, 3 different bidders OO Mk 1 $50, 26 bids, 5 different bidders OO Mk 1 $46.50, 27 bids with 7 different bidders HO Mk 2, box damage $17.50 4 bids 3 different bidders OO 7 Plank $57, 14 bids, 5 different bidders Would indicate there is still some interest out there for older Lima models, a lot of the bidders were bidding on all the items. And also that 00 rather than H0 would appear to be more popular Anyone here bid or win any of the items? I think I know who won the 2 wagons

Yep, watched Match of the Day when The Lobster came on stage

Any better?

I have been offered a small collection of mint Canadian stock, way outside my comfort zone No idea what its worth but the seller would like to move it on Drop me a line and I can pass on any enquiry etc, I can probably get some pics if needed

No rest for the wicked
