WRENNEIRE

Did you know Yul Brynner was a Liverpool fan, but he smelt awful? I did, Yul never wore Cologne! Sorry people cabin fever is kicking in

They will be close to €200 I reckon George, Dollar v Euro when payment is due will be the deciding factor. Dollar is strong at the moment and shipping will be expensive too.

A few from the loft

Have a couple of spares .....

At last some good news people End May delivery: MM0124, MM0129, MM0134. IE logo. So should be available to purchase after June 8th End June delivery: MM0121, MM0135 CIE grey.

Quick lick of paint:

Midland, There are a few for sale from Brendan, the lad that makes the large gauge stuff, coaches are O Gauge, George, the Gauge 1 A Class will not be motorised, for display as far as I am aware

Wheels arrived today

Frightening news, Anthony was a relatively young man, larger than life, terrible news to wake up to this morning. He was a regular attendee at the Bray Wheelers event and will be sadly missed by all the customers and stall holders alike. He had a great interest in the older Lima/Hornby models Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dhilis.

Some Leinster Models coaches bodies, can be bought for €10 a pop!

Dont quote me on this but if I remember correctly when MM had the Moguls produced by Bachmann and the accompanying LMS coaches, Bachmann US later produced the "Irish Railway Set" using the models MM had commissioned albeit with different running numbers. He learned a tough lesson there and has since held the IP for all further models.

Troops If it sounds to good to be true it usually is Some investigations done by PM and also some of the other owners of some of the Continental items being sold by this retailer showed that they were supplied to our friend in Spain by the original firm that PM and said other owners were using in China to manufacture their wares So PM paid for and got X amount of stock but the manufacturer made more of the items and held them back to sell them at a later date. So in essence these coaches and locos are the property of PM To the best of my knowledge there may be some law suits as a result of this and you may have to give your "cheap" coaches back to PM Dont mess with Murphy!!!

€159 last time I looked?

Some info for any of our US members Stocks most of the MM range and should have the 121's when they arrive San Antonio, Texas http://models11.com/

Could not find anywhere suitable to post this madness so here we go:

Just a heads up people !!! The Garda Traffic Corps found over 200 dead crows on the M7 near Limerick recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. A Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was NOT Avian Flu. The cause of death appeared to be from vehicular impacts. However, during analysis it was noted that varying colours of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws. By analysing these paint residues it was found that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with motorbikes, while only 2% were killed by cars. The investigators then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of motorbike kills versus car kills. The Ornithological Behaviourist quickly concluded that when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow to warn of danger. They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout "Cah", not a single one could shout "Bike" Sorry, I blame the virus...

Not of Malahide interest but may be of interest to the Fry community 1940 from the "Model Railway Constructor" Interesting to see how Maedhbh was spelt

Forgot to mention it came in handy in my Alter Boy days, we used to make up similar sounding words in the Tridentine Mass, but breaking your shite laughing on the alter was frowned upon and my contract was terminated before I got to ring the bells

Just been doing some light reading for when they do eventually arrive

Did 5 years of Latin in St Declans CBS, and still don't have a word of it, but I do remember Hannibal crossing the Alps!
