  1. Had a little giggle to myself this fine sunny morn

    Posted on an ad in Done Deal

    "Hornby railway trains for sale or swap 5 vintage steam locos and all made in England not the rubbish from China"

    I reckon he wont be buying any IRM "rubbish"

  2. Sad news this morning people

    Jim Bayle, long time MRSI member and also of Marks Models. sadly passed away this morning

    No further details at the moment but I will post them as soon as they are available

    D'fhéadfadh go mbeadh Dia trócaire ar a anam.

  3. 1977 was a pivotal year Noel, Lima changed their HO scale to OO

    Hornby had not manufactured any "Irish" models before the OO range was launched

    Lexie Keady hooked up with Lima in 1977 when the Wrenn Brothers ceased their agency for Lima N Gauge and I reckon it was then that the HO Irish stuff was commissioned, just before they turned to OO gauge manufacturing

    So 77 would be the earliest for your polaroid,

    Hornby saw the Lima Irish bits some time later and launched their Hymek sets which lasted from mid 78 till 81 if I remember correctly

    Weedspray coach too......................

    To mark the last year of the train in action.

    I heard something about today being the last day of the Loco hauled weedspray, any more info?

    This is most of what I can find at the moment, there may be some more hiding about.

    Some locos have gears, motors & wheels, some are body only.

    Similar with wagons & coaches, some have wheels, some haven't .

    One or two have been reserved but I will let them go at this stage, been holding them for too long.

    PM for price if anything is of interest, have to work out the price later.

    I can send pics also.

    Cheers

    Even amateurs should be able to see who has more tables than they ordered and remove as required. 

    There won't be a next time, because that's me finished exhibiting 16mm scale in Ireland. 

     

    It was Northern Ireland man, we dont make mistakes down south   :dig:

  7. Just remember that the organisers have a life, a job and a family. They are amateurs, they do it for the love of the hobby. They make mistakes, Governments make mistakes, a couple of big breaths and get over it, there is always next year

    Sorry to hear about your experience miller but it happens all the time

  9. Hi Colin

    Most of the narrow gauge stuff has gone, the Cattle Wagons and 6 wheelers are still here

    Will take a day or two to get at it again and I will give you a list of whats still available
