  1. I'd say the stockists should be able to get parts from Paddy Murphy?
  2. Still one of the best Irish coaches all things considered those mk3s.
  3. If you have to buy a select, try to pick one up cheap. They are 'grand' but it's amazing the 'quality' of signal - and therefore running - you'll get from a slightly better system. I had a select, then upgraded to an elite, and found some locos ran frustratingly (stopping, jumpy running, etc). I picked up a Lenz set and all the problems went away.... lovely smooth running since.
  4. Roughly wired up now for testing, but the first pair of Digital Cobalt motors have been installed and mounted. I’ve used the foam sticky pads to mount them, the screws are holding them in place for the glue to go off. So far I’m hugely impressed, they work great, very quiet, and the auto frog switching is absolutely perfect! Even little 040 and 060′s trundle over the point now without a second thought! In the image above, you can see the little cutouts that come with the foam pads, allowing you to cover up the drill hole very neatly! Will look good once the point is ballasted.
  5. It wasn't so much the prices are too high, just that they are 'over the 'going rate'' . eBay tends to fetch higher prices again fwiw.
  6. lol - basically you are right. You might need to tweak your wiring if you've an existing DC layout, but otherwise just need a DCC controller and chips in all your stock.
  7. I agree with Dave, I reckon you're about 15-20% higher than the 'going' second hand rate - but are selling so the best of luck!
  8. ye had to bring up the bridge ;( ( (

  15. Oohhh, she's pretty!! The black LMS is one of the nicest liveries!
  16. It would The face is modular though.... The unit itself is a great runner, fully lit interior, headboards, etc. The basics of a nice retrofit
  17. [ATTACH=CONFIG]619[/ATTACH]
  18. I reckon a passable 8200 could certainly be bashed out of it
  19. That should have said face lift.... It would be passable I reckon
  20. Bashable into a dart?? The more I look at it, with a face list and repaint.....?
