I suspect so too in the case as this seller listed this same loco for the same price the week before and it failed to sell. Maybe creating a false floor in value as you can do when so few are offered for sale. I just think it's a bit weird this one.

Ammonias would be very nice indeed.

I'd say the vast majority of the contents including the inner packaging are fully intact.

Awesome Niles, thanks so much

Has anyone got any photographic evidence for 076 & 086 having the small logo on the side?

Something is binding for sure. Does the bogie bind against the fuel tank? It looks very tight.

If anyone is interested in a complete rake of MK1 fertiliser wagons I am selling one of my duplicate rakes for €400 + €16 insured and tracked postage. No offers below this please. It's my best price already. If they don't sell now I'll hold onto them until the MK2 ones have sold out and try again probably. The rake has not been unboxed. Further pics available. PM if interested

Sorry I don't know anyone selling them.

As everyone is having a bit of fun I will make my no doubt wildly inaccurate guess: IR/IE liveried mk2b's.

....or something in between?

Actually I don't know as I have only bought blank v5 decoders but I would assume they can be re-blown. I'm sure someone here has done it.

Yeah it's Windows only software I'm afraid. I don't know how well it would run under Parallels or whatever Apple calls it but I run it on a virtual Windows running inside Linux and it is just fine. A cheapo used/free laptop with Windows on it would be fine too. It's not doing anything very taxing of the system.

That's a real shame but who could blame them.

If you are going to be into sound on more than just one or two locos, I can only recommend buying yourself an ESU Lokprogrammer. Once you make one "071" file (using one of the American files as a base and just swapping the horn sounds really if you want to, which are available from the Murphy Models 071 project on the ESU website) you can just flash that file to any decoder you want to put in an 071. Same goes for the other GMs. The original v4 Murphy Models files can of course be used directly but v4 files do not contain the "full throttle" features which I would not want to be without (drive hold especially) and I think the sound quality is supposed to be poorer than the hifi v5 files. If you say where you are, maybe someone with a Lokprogrammer can show you the basics. It's really not that tricky and if you are out of your depth modifying the files, I would be happy to send you one I've already modified so you can skip that part. Flashing a file to the decoder is really quite simple with the Lokprogrammer. As you can buy cheaper blank decoders it pays for itself if you have a few GMs to do.

If you are looking for an actual recording of that exact prime mover and exhaust combination, then it may well be, assuming it is an actual recording of that prime mover. I satisfy myself with the T (turbo) versions here: http://projects.esu.eu/projectoverviews/search?cat=18&q=12-645

I am assuming you haven't visited any model shops in the former east. Here's a website from a shop based in Saxony for example: https://www.elriwa.de/Produkte/Loks/Spur-TT/ Even in the local "Toys R Us" type shop here the TT selection is about the same size as the H0 one.

Are the classifieds offline @BosKonay Stephen? I am getting a page not found on the laptop and I see no "Advert" option under the "create new" menu on my phone.

It's a brilliant scale. I have always liked it (you see a lot of it here in the east of Germany as it was popular in the little GDR flats I presume).

Same here. No layout but buying what I need for the layout I want to build. I did go a bit mad at the beginning buying duplicates to renumber, for example I have a second rake of both ferts and kegs that I will be looking to sell and replace with the new IRM ones with updated running numbers. But I learned my lesson and now I limit myself to one of each item and wait for the rerun.

I have less sympathy for people paying extortionate prices for Irish models now than at any time in the past. We have active RTR manufacturers of high quality stock and motive power. Yes, you need to be a little patient and you need to have your pennies saved for the releases when they come, but they do come, on a regular basis now with IRM too.

It's an Alphagrahix kit right? It should have the clearance under the splashers to be rebuilt to the proper gauge in that case. Is that correct?

I will see if I can locate some George. Thanks for the tip. Have you used it with Railtec transfers?

You're welcome and that's very kind of you to say.
