Hi folks, I'm engaging in a long overdue clear out of Irish and UK material. Below are the Irish items. I'll do a separate post for the UK material. All asking prices are in euro and exclude postage. I am based in Galway but I can arrange for items to be collected in Dublin between now and Christmas. Cash on collection or payment via Paypal if posting. Will update below as buyers come forward. Locomotives: MM7078 Class 071 IE Grey 7078 - 300 - Buyer MM0078 Class 071 IE or/blk 078 - 280 - Buyer MM0077 Class 071 IE or/blk 077 - 280 - Buyer MM0082 Class 071 IE Blk/Sil 082 - 250 - Buyer MM0085 Class 071 IE Orange 085 - 250 - Buyer MM0080 Class 071 IR or/blk 080 - 250 - Buyer MM0073 Class 071 IR or/blk 073 - 250 - Buyer MM0088 Class 071 CIE Supertrain 088 - 200 - Buyer All have been test run only and have not been run in. The first 7 are smooth and silent runners. MM0088 is one of two MM0088s I have - both were smooth but relatively noisy runners out of the box - relatively speaking as 071s are very quiet runners in general. I use the 2nd one with DCC Sound so it doesn't bother me and I'm hanging on to that one. Coaches: MM5202 CIE MkII Std - 55 - Buyer MM5224 CIE MkII Std - 55 - Buyer MM5102 CIE MkII 1st - 55 - Buyer MM5152 CIE MkII Comp - 55 - Buyer MM5223 CIE MkII Std - 55 - Buyer MM5201 CIE MkII Std - 55 - Buyer MM5151 CIE MkII Composite - 55 - Buyer MM5101 CIE MkII 1st - 55 - Buyer MM5604 CIE MKII EGV - 65 - Buyer MM5403 CIE MkII Diner - 65 - Buyer All of the above have been little used and half never run at all since they were purchased. A post on the UK material will follow on Wed. I'll be offline most of Tues so apologies if I don't get back on any PMs until Wed.

This has to be a record. £645 incl. P&P for an MM Class 071 https://www.ebay.ie/itm/126196420369?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m43.l3160&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=2a6b5cbcf7684ae8b325f07609a16397&bu=43113670129&ut=RU&osub=-1~1&crd=20231121043706&segname=11021

Thanks. It was great to catch up with all the good work that's been going on and meeting some of the. Looking forward to how the project develops over the next few years.

Latest update on the Connemara Railway.

That's it in a nutshell. Now, not all DC controllers are created equal. PWM based controllers such as the Gaugemaster range are causing problems with these decoders so do a check first in the Hornby docs to make sure you are good. The cheap and cheerful Bachmann controller I used is fine but it's direct Hornby equivalent isn't. Having used this for a few weeks now it really does change how you run your trains and it is so much cheaper and easier to use than DCC.

Yes, right now I'm using my iPhone. I could also use an iPad. Android support is pending - any day now....

I've spent some time during the week to see how compatible the new Hornby HM7000 TXS Bluetooth decoders are with the last four Murphy Models loco releases (141/181, 071/111, 201 and 121) and the results are posted in the video below. With no sound profiles for these locos currently available, the TXS decoders probably won't be of much interest to Irish modellers right now but their non sound variants could be for those who currently run DCC without sound, or for those who are still DC bound but wouldn't mind getting into digital control on the cheap without investing in a DCC controller.

This has to be some kind of record for this particular coach? I have 5 of them so maybe I should get selling. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354586284162?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m43.l3160&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=df2d13920c384760a7f58610409c02bd&bu=43113670129&ut=RU&exe=0&ext=0&osub=-1~1&crd=20230215035531&segname=11021

Totally missed them first time out so happy to get another opportunity. My order of priority: 1. Grey 2. Ivory with Irish Cement 3. Ivory with CIE roundels 4. Orange

Not at all. Vastly different orders of magnitude and urgency of course but Jim and the team still need some support to keep things ticking over.

Latest update following a visit to the site in August. My thanks to James Deegan for hosting us on the day and filling us in on some of the plans going forward. A lot happening at the moment which is great to see but no more than our friends in Ukraine they need ongoing support to keep things moving.

An MM NIR111 for a landed cost of 550-560 euro - ouch! Brexit not helping of course. I can remember when Marks were flogging these for 150-160! https://www.ebay.ie/itm/155080738656?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11010.m1951.l7534&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=cacdeac6c6c546818976ed416c374785&bu=43113670129&ut=RU&osub=-1~1&crd=20220724093406&segname=11010
