Found this over the weekend
In a 1994 copy of Railway Modeller
Apparently in the 1955 CIE Railway timetable there was an ad from Kellogs Cornflakes
It stated "Look out for the CIE New Trains Series of cut out models on packets of Kellogs Cornflakes"
Any of the crunchy members here remember such packs of Cornflakes?
Unfortunatly in the 50's we could only afford porridge
A must for any GM Modeller
Sorry about the reflection, sunny Saturday!
Anyone what this is from?
Heavy piece of kit
Non Railway but just liked it, Road Traffic Act 1933, vehicle plate, might be from a horse drawn yoke?
Hook up with a guy at the Bray Wheelers last Sunday
He told me he had an Irish Lima set and asked if I was interested
It had been in his parents loft for 30 + years
Asked him all the usual questions without trying to set off any alarm bells
He told me he had a steam loco with 3 coaches etc
Anyway this is what turned up
He thought the base of the box was the lid, which I had asked if it was present
However the thing about this set is that the coaches are 00 gauge, with a HO gauge loco, which Lima never produced in OO
Does anyone have this set with its correct box?
A few more bits
Not Irish I know but the Ponderous Carriages always caught my fancy
James Williams, Secretary had some dealings with the Irish Railway Commission.
This came from Co Cork, from in front of a Station Masters house if I remember correctly, which I havent done for a while now.
This is my favourite Nelson
Dublin Wicklow & Wexford Railway
Its a big bastard, I couldnt get it into my loft
Some of the bits in my Railway room:
A couple from your neck of the woods
Couldn't agree more Fran, we have absolutly no idea what lies ahead
I have been watching numerous debates on British TV and not one of them has agreed with any of the others
Everyone coming at it from their own point of view with no historical facts to back them, mainly because there are none!
I wonder if the train from China will make any difference is shipping costs from there?
Hope to have some of these at the next Toy Fair in Stillorgan
Stock boxes to store unboxed stock
Just in from collecting them so excuse the pics
Will load some better ones tomorrow
Price will be €4 per box
Might be some wiggle room on orders of 10 or so
Neither
Go for the Gaugemaster Prodigy http://www.gaugemaster.com/gmdigital.html

Others available but the Gaugemaster or Powercab are easy to use and plenty of feedback on either one available
