WRENNEIRE

Found this tape in the bottom of a box last night Any info people, haven't had a tape player since I sold my GOLF GTI ! It says Hornby Railway Instructions, and has a 1989 date

They even gave me a second pair for free, should use them more often

It was the Bachmann box that threw me, probably used the running gear from the 158 and then used the box for storage Good spot John.

Another bargain Repainted Bachmann Class 158? https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Irish-2-car-Hand-built-DMU-Arrows/263765463240?hash=item3d69a590c8:g:FpoAAOSw1ztbJ--4

Playcraft was owned by Mettoy, they were the Corgi Car makers. So around 1960 they produced cheap sets which were sold through Woolworths and sold for around £1 ! Made in HO scale and the sets were called after famous train stations, and disappeared around 1970.

Some really nice pics there Ernie. Great to see the 201's on freight, I can take them out of their moth balls now.

I think someone with a background in IT would be a welcome addition to the IRM team?

Hornby all the way for me, pure class

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"

Hi KMCE, good to meet with you yesterday at the Bray Wheelers gig I could recommend a few spacers here if you need some?

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

Just noticed the site is taking longer than usual to upload, particularly when I change from one thread to another Anyone else?

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

"Build it and they will come"

I can do one for you Where are you based? I am in Dublin

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 SSM GNR (I) 3rd 6 Wheel GSWR /CIE 1ST/2ND Comp + Lav, 2 X All 3RD GSWR / CIE Brake 3rd.
