  1. Top class posting Richie, worthy of stickiness. The weathering has shown the superb detail on these bad boys. And to be frank, they need to be weathered, who ever remembers them clean? I also love the fact that they are so easily disassembled, particularly if you want to super-detail the interior (seats an appropriate brown and olive drab). Oh those vibrant '70s colour pallets eh?

     

    Mr. Murphy has excelled again.

     

    I never doubted him.

  2. Football is as corrupt as boxing - especially with Septic Bladder at the helm - little crook bastid

     

    I don't know if that was the reason this time. Colombia has a much greater population than Ireland and she did come close on votes. What happened to Van Persie's support?

  3. Odd, it didn't sell,

    Item condition:Used

    :ROFL:

     

    The €10,000 listing has ended but the £1 million is still active :confused:

  4. According to Cyril Mc Intyre's CIE Buses book, it was exhibited in the Irish Pavilion at the 1939 World's Fair in GSR ivory and black, photographed in 1952 used as a window display in the American Express Company's Travel Service. Repainted in 1954 to match U class coaches, Last time it was seen in public was a CIE display at the 1956 Cork Summer Show before 'disappearing without trace'. *cough*

     

    Probably too late to investigate the disappearance now, but if worth £1 million?

  5. The flipside of crowdfunding has revealed itself at Warley - Hornby have just announced their BR Class 71, after DJM sucessfully crowdfunded their model...

     

    Some concern has been expressed elsewhere about the number of DJM manufactured models that are being announced. How long will it take for them to be produced?

     

    While Hornby's release dates are continuely being extended at least they do not have your money tied up while you wait.

  6. Just to play devils advocate here; What if Paddy Murphy said he wasn't interested in such a venture?

     

    He is perfectly entitled to make that decision and continue to finance his own business as before. However, if he gave a commitment to produce the 121 then I don't think the crowd should encourage another manufacturer to do it. There are plenty of other projects for the crowd to finance.
