  1. Did seeing a limited edition model of just 250 pieces being weathered break your heart? Well done Anthony, keep breaking them hearts!
  2. Once they're owned by someone else they're second hand, that's what the market states really. I would think around a score for all three. Mind you I'm tight and not a trader!
  3. Lets not take Anthony's workbench topic off course with needless stirring please. Thank you.
  4. IMHO you're asking about 30-40% too much but best of luck with selling them. Hope you get your price.
  5. I understand, just reinforcing your point. When I lived there I travelled up to York to see it. Pissed all over the then recently revamped London Transport Museum in Covent Garden. Never did get into Acton mind you, even when working but a stones throw away from the depot. Would've been much more interesting I bet.
  6. Imagine how much a site for it would cost in London? If they even charged a couple of quid admission it would surely help?
  7. Top notch as per.
  8. Absolutely! And if you want a relatively cheap Genny now you may get a recent Murphys release of the Galway Mark II.
  9. Yep, Thursdays are good for me.
  10. Cheers man, will you have the kettle on?
  11. Sounds too much like a Susan Boyle love making situation to me man, the horror! Sounds like a plan. Need to get up to Downpatrick one of these days too!
  12. Definitely deserves to be supported. Must get over to Boyle some time.
  13. My PR email into Liveline must've worked then. Send the cheque on to me Dave... Known to have a diecast fire engine collection.
  14. Suethe units are not that big as far as I remember, sit down into the funnel. You can see them here (Around 8:52 onwards) [video=youtube_share;K0G-vDMf9tI] They dont do it for me, just don't look realistic and dirty the track. But whatever floats your boat!
  15. Yep, this model of Birmingham New Street is an example of that. http://www.p4newstreet.com/
  16. They arent scale length by any stretch but if you don't mind that then fire away!
  17. They would need the buffers at each end. The doors are different too but it's only a slight change. The current Hornby or old Lima and Jouef coaches can be used.
  18. It's your best route to one. Check out this one made by Anthony. Looks fantastic and made up with the MIR kit http://www.irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/37-Anthony-s-Workbench?p=263&viewfull=1#post263
  19. Welcome to the site Liverbird. Guessing you're an LFC fan? Good man! MIR did a conversion kit for the Class 80 railcars which involved a Lima Class 73 power bogie and some Mark IIs. As MIR are no longer producing kits these could be hard to come by. Anthony might be along and he could give you a better idea on possible availability.
  20. It wasnt when they ramped them up 18 months ago. They were nearly 3 times the price of Hattons. The big RM increase was more recently I believe.
  21. The 2-4-2 tank looks delish!
  22. Bought some 2nd hand stuff off Modelfair in the past and the service is very good. Stuff sold as described. Mind you their postage rates have gone right up over the past 18 months.
  23. That sounds cool Dave. I picked up some Marklin track and stock a while ago with the intention of collecting a piece or two a year. I blame Steven for that! As you said they're pricey, but are impressive and Marklin has a certain charm.
  24. Amen, I love the control options DCC gives, and could never go back to analogue. I really thought I'd be in the minority on this one, but it seems a lot of people prefer the clickity clack of wheels over DCC sound. I can understand the appeal of DCC sound and why people enjoy it, I guess we're all different really. I feel better switching my latest SD70 order from sound fitted to DCC ready. Saved a packet too!
