How much is the fare, driver?
Well, sir, that would be 80 Irish pence, sir.
How much would that be in British pounds, Patrick?
About six pounds, sir, but sure that fiver will be fine and don't worry about the difference
I know that, in our eyes, the hobby is not cheap but you'd think they had bigger fish to fry. Maybe no VAT would be payable in any case if the trade was below a certain value and a 'hobby'?
The links to the photos in this thread are broken. Did anyone happen to download the photos from the thread as the original owner likely does not have them any more?
Thanks in advance if you have them
Looks like the big cab (Cab 1) is on the right. I now know that the thing on the roof of 201s is the silencer, and I presume the large underframe tank directly 'in front' of the rear bogies is the fuel tank?

So for 071s, the number one cab end is on the right with the side steps offset nearer the number one cab and the large body grille adjacent to the Number 2 can along with the roof fans, correct?
So the Number 1 end is on the right with the steps slightly offset to nearer the No. 1 cab and the grille on the left adjacent No.2. Roof grille also nearer to No.2
Is it possible to post a photo of that, Railer? I don't have any MM 201 boxes and could not find a good photo of the box online.
I'm never quite sure which cab end is which on 141s, 071s and 201s. If anyone could post a photo of each to help ID the ends, that would be very helpful
Metal kit, maybe of interest to permanent way enthusiasts

I do not think the geography is the problem, London-Paris approx 213 miles. Belfast-Cork approx 213 miles, no chunnel required, although the population density is obviously an impediment
I'm pretty sure they must have shifted a lot of stock all the same. Doubt that greater reductions will happen
I guess you got 24 hours grace period if you had forgotten it was ending. The sale is finished online. Usual prices are back:(
They will refund it as a separate post sale refund. The site is not equipped to do it automatically. They do not have to pay VAT for your purchase but they need to have a proof of export to UAE. Email Mark or Graham
