Hi all, Last week for these before they go on a well known auction site. If interested, but need some time to think/save, then very happy to put them to one side for you. Cheers for now! Richard.

Now updated with a 21mm gauge E class diesel which is now available. As before PM me if interested in the J15, 650 or E class which are still available. Richard.

No worries at all. As Flying Snail says, pretty much going rate for 00Works, esp. one which you can finish to suit.

Pretty reasonable, I think, I'm not looking to make a huge amount on these just what they're worth, and am hoping they'll find good homes.

Hi all, I'm thinning out my collection, and have the following available. All prices are ex post. Please PM me for details and to note, I'm UK based, so whilst I'm happy to post elsewhere, one to note in the postage costs.... 00 works J15, 2018 release. test run only, transfers not applied. £330 GNRi Y5 van. My own 3d print. £55. Van now SOLD. JM Design GSR / CIE 650 class (G2) kit. Etches/castings only, excludes wheels/motor etc £130. Judith Edge Kit for a Harland and Woolf 0-6-0 DM, NCC No.22. Etches and resin parts only, excludes wheels/motor £48. Kit now SOLD I now also have a 21mm gauge E class diesel for sale. This uses the Valve design body (With plasticard overlays), as well as a custom built Bullant chassis to the correct wheelbase - please note that regaining this isn't easy. £130. PM me of these are of interest for further details. Richard Ellis-Hobbs

Great to see you Leslie, & Robert, as well as meet you Darius! All in all, a great weekend, seemed like we've never been away, but of course, we've lost some good friends over the last three years. Richard.

Hi all, Looking forward to catching up with friends this weekend at Warley. I'll be helping on stand A, but when not there, will be over at Inver, which has had a lot of work done on it by the club in tribute to it's creator, John Seward, a great friend to Irish Railways at Warley show, and more widely, over the years, or the IRRS stand. Here's to a great weekend! Richard E-H

Yep, sorry about that - hence why I put the note up front about it so expectations are right at the start. I know there are UK based modellers on the forum, including me, so we shall see if there's any interest in it. I'm in no rush to part with it, but if anyone is interested, do let me know. Richard.

Hi all, I've one A class surplus to requirements, A30, in silver, mint, boxed, test run only. Happy to provide photos if required. £169.99 + postage at cost. (I'm UK based so please bear in mind any extra postage costs as a result of our self imposed exile from friends (- sorry about that....!)) Cheers for now! Richard.

These two are looking great, really good work! Never seen a mogul done like this before, so watching with interest! When I did my jeep (described on here a few years ago, the lining was the nightmare for me - the straw and red UTA lining is really difficult to get right. I ended up doing the straw first, light coat of varnish, and then the red inner line which seemed to work ok, but was really difficult to do. Needless to say, I couldn't find a source of transfers that would do the job. Richard. These two are looking great, really good work!

Fowler tank needs a bit more work to get it there, I've a thread on here somewhere on how to do that... Richard.

Still seems a shame Hornby haven't done a U2 from their 2P, such an open goal for them! Richard.

That was quick, Darius!

Hi all, For sale, 1 Murphy Models/Bachmann 181 class, 188 in CIE Black. Good condition, horns fitted, and accessories as pictured. Great runner. Some weathering/paint to roof grille and fuel tank. Priced accordingly, £140. Postage extra, to be confirmed and agreed, at cost. I'm based in UK, happy to post to Ireland, elsewhere, but costs to be agreed as part of sale. Any questions, please ask. Richard.

The Oxford rail/or Hornby, Adamas radial makes a good BCDR locomotive. I've converted an Oxford one, James Hilton did the finishing, photo here; https://paxton-road.blogspot.com/2021/05/commission-irish-4-4-2t-paintwork.html Note, I've no link to James, just a happy customer! Richard.

Interesting topic, perhaps something around differences in maintenance approaches to 5 foot 3, or links between ir/nir? Have you joined IRRS? maybe some help there, as well? Good luck! Richard.

Thanks guys! With the ballasts and 121's it's a pricey christmas! I know, no pleasing some people is there......! Thanks guys, for all your efforts in bringing us such quality models! Cheers for now. Richard.

I have one of these kits, it looks great... just need the time to start it! Richard.

For sure, it's a trade off between a well applied livery and an exact match on length, width and pannelling style. I may have a chassis or two spare if the bodies re bodged into a bogie coach... I'm sure there'll be folk doing similar - if the 6w chassis runs well..... Richard.

Afternoon all! Had picked this up via the earlier thread on this, below. I think that one of the GNR six wheelers does suit a GNRi Q3 as well as a few others as listed. It's great that Hattons are mulling things over for the irish market - I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do with these models! Cheers for now! Richard

Looks good John! I'll have one at least! Richard

Hi John This is a really interesting development, as a GN modeller, the open wagon is of interest. Yes, it's pricey, for sure - it'd be easier to keep each unit at around the £50 mark, as £100 is a big lump in one go....! I'll fill in the survey, good luck with the venture! Richard.

A curious choice, but perhaps it's as a result of it's use on the LSWR as well. Ah well! Richard

Hi all, I see Oxford Rail have announced a rather nice crane: https://www.hattons.co.uk/newsdetail.aspx?id=697 anyone know if any ever ran in Ireland? Cheers for now! Richard.

See you there! Richard.
