Tarabuses

I would be happy to prepay Murphy Models but I'm not sure what other manufacturer(s) I would trust with my money. Even with Paddy, would this cut out the model shops?

Steam locos would be my preferred option after the 121s, which I hope are on their way - GSR 461 or GNR 171 maybe?

You have done a great job on those. It is not often that we see a weathered bus model.

An interesting model

Is there a bigger northside school that could be approached?

It was a great show as usual but is it outgrowing the Raheny venue? Space was very tight due to the number of visitors, especially where Jim Poots and George Heaney were trying to deliver pre ordered bus kits!

The exhibition must nearly be as popular now as it was in RDS days

I'll probably be there on Saturday but if not it will be Sunday. I have to see George Heaney.

Thanks for the update, Nigel.

Yet again, I have no real idea what's going on here.

Did they?

Yes, but surely the ones in the shops are sold from Paddy's point of view. Has he many 201s still on hand himself?

Well, it's a hobby that you can make money from. I think I'll bid on it anyway (I always wanted to help finance someone's retirement, although I had rather hoped it would be mine)

Only if someone is foolish enough to pay excess prices.

If anyone has seen 'The Railway Man' film, the Colin Firth character takes umbrage at being called a 'Train Spotter'.....'I'm a Railway Enthusiast!'

I'm not sure that both descriptions are entirely the same.

Woolies surely? I did put a TCS M2 chip in one a while back. It took a bit of dismantling and putting back together but does work well.

New 2014 Winter Releases

 

Due for arrival in November 2014 (in time for Christmas) will be the next batch of Mark II coaches in the CIE Supertrain livery.There will be a total of seven different coaches comprising of 1st, Composite, 3 x Standard class and an EGV.

1st, Composite, 3 x Standard class and an EGV = 6, so what is the seventh?

I know the gent in question, he has a massive collection of all different stuff. As far as I know he isn't a member on here.

I have seen his many items on ebay over the past few months and must say that he doesn't seem to be a reluctantseller.

Yes, it is unfortunate that when Paddy decided to issue a grey 071 he had to duplicate the engine number due to those already used.

Yes, those were the days when no one lived far from a railway.

Try visiting the Transport Museum in Howth.

Happy Birthday

Yes, email jimpoots@googlemail.com

If anyone is interested in the single door standard D class kit then contact Jim Poots as soon as you can. The dual door kit has sold out.

Jim is expecting them into stock this weekend. If you ordered he should be in touch.

Home protection - taking aim at the cat?

The bus being modelled by EFE did operate in Galway in CIE Green before being repainted in later life.

This bus has been out a long time now,made by EFE.One on ebay at the moment.The only difference is the destination.

And different fleet number, registration, advertisements, location (Galway) - in fact a whole new identity.
