WRENNEIRE

Just been talking to my +1 and he has had to cancel so I reckon I will have to pull the plug as well Thanks for all the PM's saying you would be there (NONE) The sense of adventure that has made this site what it is today seems to have been lost in the snow

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.........

Bring it on

Just been talking to my +1 and we are going anyway, snow or not So come on in anyway and we can have a chin wag

"Currently, they are mostly snow/ice and some wind-related." Onions, I get these wind related ones after onions.....

To the best of my knowledge Greystones is no more ( I heard it was burnt) but I am sure there are some pics of it still around I will keep you posted John.

€62.50+ €14.50 p&p = €77

Cheapish at the moment https://www.ebay.de/itm/HOBBYTRAIN-62652-DIESELLOK-V65-TEGERNSEE-FP99-/142629148556

John The member was Noel Dodd and he also did a 141 and an 071. I don't have a model of the 071 unfortunately.

Jasus sake Noel, I took them out of their boxes, you want me to run them as well? I did add the shims to the new coach but it is safely tucked away now.

Slight difference with the new Snack car 1509 on the top in both pics

Its in IE JB, a bit late for your adventure Have mint 181 & 188 in CIE Black

I now have about 100 of the shims given to me by MM They are basically small washers, not the brass affairs that we saw at the 3 day show in October I will have them at the IRM annual boxing tournament on the 3rd if anyone needs them

Couple of corrugated buildings on my layout Scaledale R9803 & R9810

Once again I managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory MM1509 is a Late Liveried Snack, not an Early one as I have previously mentioned Shims need to be affixed

Just for your info Controller there are 2 more single striped Cravens, MM1504 & MM I515 both standards Generally a bit harder to pick up than the later liveried ones as there were not the same amounts of them manufactured Some pics of them on Page 7 of the Lima Murphy thread on this forum

The RPSI bogies seem a lot harder to remove than the original MM ones Plastic is harder or something Kieran asked me about removing them and as I had not removed mine I tried this afternoon Used a trusty Leatherman blade to force them apart Be careful when returning the coaches to their packaging, it is directional so the coach only goes in one way.

Watching it in Nerja Noel More Brits there than Twickenham And a good scattering of Paddys as well

Cant make this one troops Granny B has some R&R organised so we can watch us defeat our neighbours to win the Triple Crown and the 6 nations

Some more useless Jouef HDI info Light coloured pics on the box gables are Made in France Darker colour are Made in Ireland Made in France Mk 3 on the left Made in Ireland one on the right, the Made in France has just been blocked

Cheers Bosko Some really interesting pieces for sale

RRP from MM is €57.50

Headstones........

Should have MM's new launch at the show Update from Murphy Models Announcing the arrival of our 2 vehicle set, comprising a Leyland Fire Engine and Daimler APC (armoured personnel carrier). Available from our usual stockists, deliveries starting later this week. SRP €57.50 In their own way, each vehicle is unique. The fire engine is the first on a Leyland chassis and the first Dublin motorised appliance. It was designed in 1909 by Capt. Purcell, chief fire officer for Dublin. Three examples were built in Scotland. One remained in southern England and the other went to the Indian sub-continent. Nothing further is known about them.The Dublin version was scrapped c.1950. The Daimlers were leased from Guinness by the British Army and fitted with 4 smoke boxes in Inchicore Railway Works. They were welded together, gun ports cut, dummy gun ports painted and rear smoke box door left in situ. The forerunners of the modern day APCs! They were returned to Guinness in due course. The Leyland Fire Engine is supplied with decals (inc. spares) which should be placed on the gold outlined panels forward of the "Dublin Fire Department" plaque (behind the front seat, not on the side of the front seat.)
