WRENNEIRE

Just got up off the floor from looking at the last batch of pics Downpatrick I think

I heard that Cheltenham Model Centre had a large amount of stock stolen from a show they were attending over the weekend All BR stock but some of their own branded items were taken and they should be very easy to identify Waiting on a list of stock but remember if it sounds too good to be true.......

Spoke with PM last week Might have this a bit arseways but the jist of it is that after the Chinese New Year and the extra weeks holiday that the workers were given any worker who lived more that 500 miles from the factory was told not to return to the factory. They ended up with around 25% of the workforce out of which not all of them were qualified to do all the different jobs on the loco. Not sure if they are training any of them to do these jobs and no word of when the loco will go into production but fingers are crossed and the odd saint has been texted, Any more news will be passed on as soon as it becomes available. Stay safe people.

Bit of cutting on a MIR fert Sides are brass, so the door stays open

Another class job Murrayer, you should take this up full time

I have just passed your address on to her........

Don't hold you breath man I didn't get this shape by leaving any of my Easter eggs

Sorry Colin, got rid of it all except the sprouts Black sprouts are very hard to shift it appears, although some of these Corona shoppers would probably take them if they were still around

Resin bodies with metal bogies

Had to cancel my trip to Nerja last night Gutted Off now with Granny Bracken to walk barefoot on Dollymount with my eyes closed and pretend I am on me holliers

You just beat me to it skinner But e**v dropped out at €80 so he did not really affect the final price The other 2 lads went at it head to toe though. The boom is back!

Maybe its the B&I container? Would be a super model

Pick a window Spud, you are leaving the building

There are 4 issues here to the best of my knowledge: The Fry Collection which was built by Cyril Fry The Malahide Castle Fry layout, on which no Fry models ran, all built by various craftsmen The Casino Fry collection, which are all of Frys models displayed in beautiful cabinets The OO gauge layout in the Casino which has nothing to do with Fry

To the best of my knowledge only the Mk 3 coaches were boxed in Made in Ireland box's Have never seen a Mk 2? in a seperate box To be totally convinced it would have to be in a sealed box, Jouef shrunk wrapped all their individually boxed items so that would be the acid test for me. The darker ones are Made in Ireland, lighter ones Made in France Some boxes overlabelled, some printed Made in Ireland

"There again, I guess we must remember that much of the Fry collection was cheque book modelling too. ???" Dont know where you got that idea man, all of Frys models were hand built. I heard stories of white metal being melted in pots while the spuds were on the cooker And Mrs Fry cast most of the wheels

Consider yourself corrected!

I will be self isolating for the weekend

Tomorrow at the Carlton Hotel, Old Airport Road

If the model does need to be returned to Murphy Models, please package it properly and securely and address it to: Service Department Murphy Models 2 Wexford St Dublin 2 Ireland

Return the loco to Murphy Models He has nothing to do all day long, just sitting on his arse waiting for delivery of the 121's I spoke with him today and he would be delighted to solve your problem

I bet you are sorry you asked now!!!

They had a warehouse on Shanowen Rd, Santry. Mainly electrical wholesalers but were listed in the Tri-ang Hornby official service dealers list I see it says Shanowen Rd Whitehall! Trying to be posh. Also listed Monck Place and the Southern Model Railway Co. Lr Leeson St
