I've bought a face mask for my pet duck. It's nothing flashy, but it fits the bill

Worth a few bob more WaYSidE, probably €40 - €50 depending on condition. Earlier version had a cardboard inner, this is the later one with a plastic inner

The paint hardly dry on them and I get these pics The modelling version of speed dating.

Good find there Paul

I think the board was the problem and it had to be rejigged to allow the lok chip to be installed

I told him not to paint it, but he did sort out the valve gear.

I reckon the price will be nearer €200 people Hattons cannot know the price yet as MM has not got his final invoice from China

I just quit my job in the Helium Factory, I will not be spoken to in that tone of voice!

141's still making good money Works out at around €200 when postage is added https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Murphy-Models-Bachmann-Irish-Class-141-CIE-Black-Orange-MM0165-B165-New/333598109271?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

An old ad from Monck Place GWR O-6-2 Tank

Troops McGowan brothers who owned and operated The Model Railway Shop in Monck Place manufactured their O Gauge kits under the name of Leinster Models, McGowan kits were a UK based company that did white metal kits, from reading some reviews over the years they were rough with several modellers stating that they were unmakeable , wrong parts etc They were taken over by a company called SEF Car Kits who did white metal and brass kits Possibly now owned by Scale Link Ltd in Dorset
