WRENNEIRE

Always worth going to these event Never know what will show up Terry McDermott V Class kit, no wheels or motor Old CIE Insulated container, from the old CIE Freight set IRM Pack probably packed by a Coronavirus worker? And finally a battery controller to replace a broken one in my Lima N Scale CIE freight set

Senior Goulding had a cream coloured Merc, think it may have been a 450 SEL The reg was IO 1020, Kildare reg, cant remember the year.

Today people!!!

Once again you have failed to mention McGowan models who produced many of the locos that ran in the Malahide layout Tommy Tighe was responsible for many of the buildings and I think Des McGlynn made the narrow gauge loco and stock Just sayin like....

Saved from the bid While dumpind some bits today I found this ad Came from an early Railway Modeller And as the gods would have it something very interesting (to me) on the reverse Love the lunch hour 1.30 pm - 3pm, hope Bosko takes note Fran. This is an ad for the Wrenn 152 set ( 1:52?) At the time Wrenn amalgamated with Tri Ang they were producing these sets Unfortunatly Tri Ang had just bought Scalex who made a tin plate racing car set. They decided to replace the tin with plastic and so part of the deal with Wrenn was that they ceased production of the 152 set, which was a far superior set at that time If you look at the ad you will see a deflector section, which allowed overtaking while racing They were made in both DC & AC Some 152 pics before Wrennexit! Oops, forgot these

A Brexiteer me thinks

This is a Lledo T2 model commissioned by An Post Split screen and Irish reg Some nice info on the card

Wuhan would appear to be a long way from where the IRM models are manufactured, it is in central China. The following info about the virus would suggest that we should not be worried about it, there are no doornobs on the Ferts! Sometimes, but not often, a coronavirus can infect both animals and humans. Most coronaviruses spread the same way other cold-causing viruses do, through infected people coughing and sneezing, by touching an infected person's hands or face, or by touching things such as doorknobs that infected people have touched.

Arrived this morning from the USA Bought on eBay and when I won the auction, at considerable expense, the seller tells me he does not do International postage and wants to cancel the sale. So after a few calls to a fellow collector in Texas,( Thanks P) I managed to get him to post to Texas and then they were forwarded to D05 On page 22 there is a picture of the O Gauge Sundries wagon in a first issue box, ref no 6711 This wagon is in a later issue box and carries a 31 prefix, so its 31 6711 I wasn't aware of this new numbered wagon previously, so now the hunt is on for any others This collecting is tough work people. For the non Specksavered ones among us there is some foreign instructions on this box that does not appear in the original one

You only die once George, you live every day.....

Slightly off topic, Bachman's Ransomes & Rapier 45 ton crane Weighs in at £250 stg!

Some more pics

Taken in Fairview

Just been listening to Dave Lynfield being interviewed on RTE by Ray D'Arcy Gulliver Lynfield Still laughing!

B&I

Some of Frys original stock Some was on display on the layout and some in the many glass cases there The 4-8-0 shunters were mistakenly painted in Green, One of the glass cases full of models The following pics are stock made by Leinster Models to run on the layout, Similar to Cultra it was a tough place to take pics and the general public were not allowed to take pics. Brendan Kelly of MRSI fame would have made most of the locos with the McGowans doing the coaching and freight stock Some of the beautiful brass bridges and some other buildings were built by Tom Tighe of Inchicore fame. The narrow gauge loco and stock on the lower level may have been built by Des McGlynn, I will clarify this when I speak with him next. Slightly off topic I know but this snap was with the others This is a Gauge 1 201 that was sent to GM in Canada prior to the manufacture of our fleet of 201's, Commissioned by IE Pic taken in McGowans dining room in Phibsboro

I thought there would have been more than one to take the bait?

We won't be there Leslie, still getting our breath back after last year! And I am sure the SDMRC will not have a layout there As I am sure you are aware, invitations are issued a couple of years in advance so I reckon there are no Irish "Irish" layouts attending It will be up to our brothers on the mainland methinks.
