Anyone doing weathering on these or is it too early for that?

So many fond memories of Clifden. I didn't even know about the rail link. I am willing to bet that if it gets up and running, it would attract huge tourism, if it were not for this corona curse. It might even become commercially viable.

We should never have ripped up all those lines.

Hi abaddon & welcome to the site, lots of stuff going on here, tell me are the couplings on these sets HO or OO

Yeah, sheesh, I intended to follow this up and then failed to do so. All I can do is accept my error and apologise profusely. It's standard Hornby OO. I will throw some pics if someone can identify the prefered resolution for here.

Too late!

I have a number of Baby GMs in Super Train livery for sale, 142, 161 and 182. £100 each including p&p. They are unused apart from being tested.

Many thanks.

Throw some pictures up. It will help.

Personally, I am seeing WRENNEIRE tomorrow to buy a baby GM and probably whatever else he has that my budget will accommodate. If, and I suspect he will, WRENNEIRE burns my budget, I will have nothing left for you but goodwill. I suspect that will not buy me a baby GM.

Nonetheless, post pics. You will get a bite.

Sold. I'm in D9 so not far from you.

Are any of those Baby GMs weathered?

I have tried, not very successfully, to video and control train movements at the same time and fallen between two stools. My camera kept dying mid shot hence the rapid cuts between scenes. Apologies for the poor quality.

Quality? You has it. In buckets and spades.

Ta much. I hoped to avoid splitting the chassis and end up with a reasonable facsimile. From photos, the oval window was ditched in later incarnations, no?

I have before me a Dapol 60 foot brand new. I intend to convert it to a Park Royal.

Before I do anything, advice gratefully received.

Hornby's next set was their famous Slainte Express Set

Released in 1980

I have the Slainte set boxed with roundels both ends, and the Local goods set boxed, and the Lima 215 unboxed. I'm surprised to find they are collectible. What are they worth nowadays? (Not selling, just curious)
