If you look under the postage section on the eBay auction, it will specifically state where the seller will ship to and where not, in this case most European countries, but not North America etc, Shock! collectible horrors, I couldn't bid Annoyingly for many modelers on this site, UK sellers will often only post to the UK, OR….. state in the description that they will ship to "Southern Ireland" (wherever that is) but do not select Ireland as a destination. Hence, anyone displaying an address not in the UK will often be prevented from physically placing a bid by eBay. I think Blaine pointed this out above. Parcel Motel can be used as a workaround, of course

This eBay auction was European-wide, so we cannot necessarily assume that every fool is Irish;)

For the families of Irish-American military personnel and the many Irish soldiers that gave their lives serving with the United Nations over the decades, we respectfully wish you a happy Memorial Day.

Remember, there were two fools in this auction, so if you have anything to sell it would fund some Irish freight models very nicely!

Indeed! This just sold for £270. (€380)!!

That's three PMs re a split....

A bit optimistic in my opinion but if you really want one a best offer is available (I think they may be SOLD OUT at this point, haven't checked) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Murphy-Models-OO-Gauge-MM0111-class-071-diesel-in-N-I-R-Light-Blue-/251967975973?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3aaa763225 EDIT: Yep, RB models stil have a pair for cheaper than this

Yes, very interesting, which explains why only 112 of the three MM NIR 111 class models has the newer LED lights

Same speed given the same amount of maintenance? but, please Jim, tell us more about broad(er) gauge….

What I did not realize when I posted this first (but do now since I have a newly acquired model of 078), is that MM0078 also has the old style marker light in addition to the small logo. MM0077 and MM0085 both have the newer LED marker lights (apparently installed in the 2000s) and large logo. I guess this is in keeping the small logo being applied to the prototype at some early time point followed by a move the definitive larger logo. EDIT: Finally managed to make it through a lot of the thread on the 071 model (which precedes my membership on the fora) and some additional information regarding the small logo here with a picture of 078 with the small logo (but the newer LED lights)http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/6-Murphy-Models-071-New-detailed-pre-production-photos-added!/page74 Could somebody remind me which years the CIE roundel, IR and IE logos were introduced in general please? Thanks in advance

Does anyone know when ©I®E changed the original marker lights and installed LED white and double red LEDs on the 071s? Originally these has the same configuration as the baby GMs above

A wee problem with traction i would have thought ….?

I think it adjusts the airflow at the nozzle (about 1:42) http://airbrushtechniquemagazine.com/airbrush/veda-wd-180-airbrush-review/ Hope that helps

You're doing a total respray after your visit with Richie? I did notice that the orange color on the ST EGV wraps round onto the back of the coach and I was wondering what you were going to do with that. Tranfers seem to the the way to go for the white lines

That has been sitting on there for as long as I can remember. Maybe fell off for a while, now stagnating there again:facepalm:

Fantastic effort! Vote cast, Roy

Noel, if that sells don't repaint anything just stick them on eBay to offer to a collector Brand new at Marks for equivalent of Stg100, hard month to sell. He's looking for a Hunslet

You may have reached a sufficient tissue level of alcohol that embalming fluid would not be required. Of course, If you're opting for cremation, I'm standing a long way back.

Not sure about Shannon but the 141s are not making more than E110-E120 or its equivalent. Other liveries are going for even less than that. There are some on there for up to STG115 but they are still there. In the last few months I have purchased 187, 184, 171 (twice) all at less than Eur121, but I agree that if you chum the waters enough, someone will eventually bite. I realized that would likely be the case. It's not my thing but I have seen several rebuilds of the Class 80s on the fora so I thought someone might be interested

I does appear that the final stage of closing the lid can be completed from the inside, ………… you just can't leave the screwdriver in the will!

Jim, it was your birthday, you're not dead (yet)! I suppose luck favors the prepared (with a set of instructions in hand)

THat's the second time in several days. It's still there but there may not be a third restock. If you really want it, I'd BIN!

Meanwhile back at the ranch...... http://time.com/3881656/russian-proton-m-rocket-fails/
