  1. Decent price for the MK2s since some went for €100-€125 each on Facebook during the week.. Sod’s Law it’s the day I’m out and about they go up(and back down).. Missed out on the MK2s when IRM had the Murphy’s stock too as I didn’t realise they had them! Some day soon hopefully, but if not at least I’ll have MK2s/bs and NIR MK2s by the end of the year
  2. I have a few Irish and Northern Buses lookings for new homes.. All in original boxes and good condition.. Based in D7/D15 area or can arrange post at cost EFE Translink Wright Renown- €40- SOLD Corgi OOC Plaxton Premiere in Bus Eireann Eurolines €30 Corgi OOC Plaxton Excalibur in Ulsterbus Tours livery €25

    Exactly that, I only figured it out after I had glued all 4 bars on!

    Never seen a box with painted bars, they are normally just cast iron.. Also, the way the bars are made, they can only be done correctly the way you have done them.. The other way doesn’t work.. Will take pic’s tomorrow to show you what I mean
  5. Where are you based? Heading to Cork this week I think
  6. Due to be Blackrock this year I think, will have to spring for a foive goys!
  7. My 210 arrived with the white plastic cracked and the loco sitting at a funny angle.. Besides the steps on the bogie frame, no appparent damage to the loco thankfully.. The packaging in the 071s was a bit sturdier I think, so obviously the lesson was learnt
  8. I would say unlikely I'm afraid.. DAL were east Africa specialists(bought out by Hapag in 2020).. The only time I have seen DAL equipment in Ireland, was a small pile in CTS in Dublin Port.. Not sure if they ever moved from there even!

    No, your style is more, release at a fair price, flood the market, instant drop in 2nd hand values! Fair play again!

    Thanks Stephen, just saved 100 on a yellow faced 201.. Just missed out on the full yellow front Enterprise 201 though.. The guy I was in touch with about buying a 201 for €250-€275 is probably wondering what he did wrong right about now!
  11. Airfix Hurricane Mk1(early) getting a first coat on the pre-war black and white undersides.. Have made slow progress doing a little bit 20mins at a time on lunch breaks.. A nice easy kit with some good crisp mould lines/details, and the modular approach with different propellor, tail fin and fuselage/tail wheel underside options is an excellent one IMO, allowing the small differences over the life of the MK1 to be modelled..
  12. A nice history, and of more sentimental value than building the airfix kit.. I have the airfix one in the stash here, have put building one of the long finger for years now, but thinking of doing one as HSL 108 being captured by an Arado 196 or else HSL 108 in German service after being repaired(if I can find any pictures for reference)

    You could probably find some overlap to come up with some sort of modular construction that could reduce the costs versus tooling two seperate wagons for each market.. Plus the Irish bogie is already available in the IRM range.. But even in terms of interest, the CPWs would likely be much lower on people’s list than say an LX flat or an Ammonia(which has a very similar UK prototype for Accurascale).. They only ran 2003-2005 and then intermittently between about 2011 and 2019.. I know I would be happy to stick with my resprayed Dapol KTA/KQA which look pretty close when loaded with 2 empty tanks or a 40ft container for the next 3-4 years, rather than splash out for new models at the expense of say the MK2s or an extra ICR

    Manufacturer and design concept.. Not sure if much else beyond that.. Different lengths and bogies, plus the existing Dapol model make an IRM/Accurscale overlap model unlikely.. Lots of other wagons to be done first in both ranges

    Dapol already do KQA pocket wagons.. Surely that would be an accurascale product rather than an IRM one?
  16. In our defence, none of that info is obvious from the ad on adverts and I didn’t link the sellers handle back to you.. I just saw an ad at €180 for something that’s listed at €100 on IRM.. For somewhere kind of in the Eu(aware canaries is a weird case) the costs quickly stack up!
  17. Reluctant to sell at anything less than 80% of a mark up?

    Bubbles re-run, long overdue… or maybe being around a toddler to much is going to my head..
  19. Might sound strange but that box no looks familiar.. Must check if it made it to Ballina…..
  20. He has a second bundle up now also with a 201 and 5 MK2Ds for €900.. Again won’t split it which is less than ideal as the MK2s are a mix of black and orange roofs so not even a uniform rake.. plus the value is way off, none of the in really in demand MK2s included.. About €550 is probably fair value IMO(€250 for the 201 and €60 each per coach) Open to offers though!
  21. No such luck, I don't drive a Ferrari!
  22. Anyone do a Corolla hatch Dave? Wouldn’t mind doing a cameo of my Dad
  23. manifest ex Ballina today had it as 074.. Must have been a loco swap in Ballina, with 073 most likely on XPOs..
