Here's the Belfast Telegraph reporting on it:

For anyone still looking for one of these, I spotted one on Adverts on a trawl though:

Not bad at €34 & €6 postage
It's a shame, as the baseboards looked decent. Only a couple of months ago, I was mulling over getting some from him to start a layout - glad I held off now after seeing this post!
A hell of a lot were destroyed by fire too down in Cork, Kells Transport Museum
