Set up a rails/hattons wishlist, when they come in 2nd hand you will get an email

Are you looking for a C / 201 class kit??

He always has trains for sale, some hang around, some dont

Or even better again Halfords Plastic Primer

Thats it, a response to Hornbys Zero 1, both a little ahead of their time ultimately. Technology has caught up with Digital control now

Caved in finally, will be as I remember them - Filthy

Well dont forget, there are a lot of newcomers to the model railway hobby, who may get confused that 2 products are in the same colour box, ever notice all the mainstream manufacturers use different colour boxes? Or is that too advanced for you

I knew I'd seen that box style before, could you not have chosen a different colour........

Unlikely given FCC didnt help any of the groups who approached when the initial fry model railway was closed.

Anyone feeling brave? https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2021/0630/1232254-search-begins-for-new-operator-for-dublin-attractions/

Ok What do you want. Tell us. Be blunt. Be honest. Be frank. What do you want that is good enough. All you seem to do here is whinge and complain so why is this one any different. Maybe this interest is not for you as clearly it upsets you. 10 years ago even all you had was the vintage MIR resin kits for these and other stuff, people used to say 'wouldn't it be great if someone made them ready to run and affordable' - that is now here from an Irish company that is rapidly growing in terms of good reputation and presence and you still moan. Good oul Ireland - a nation of whingers, begrudgers and backstabbers. Thankfully in the minority.

SOLD

For this I'm going to go with Black and Tan onwards. I've also added MK2A/Mk3 stock as 121's are 'Suitable for hauling Air Braked Trains' Never seen a pair of 121's on the Taras either, mainly as a pair were too long for the traverser at Alexandra Road. Waiting for a photo if it did happen. Real 'badly stuck' stuff Livery Key - there was no 'Supertrain with IR Logo' for the 121's unless I can be photographically proved wrong.....

Also the ERF EC they do, rare but not impossible back then

Yes, Irish Cement was heavily pushed as a brand from the mid 80's onwards so it definitely would have featured as the Bubbles were overhauled instead of the 'CIE Bulk Cement' branding, even when the Bubbles were at the end of their lives there was at least one with CIE Bulk Cement branding under the caked on cement Supertrain with IR is an interim livery, from 1987 there was a push to get rid of the 'Broken Circle' logo as quickly as possible (on passenger trains and stations at least), even though there are still signs in certain places with the CIE logo today. Still plenty of freight then, so more Locos were needed instead of being set aside for new paint The IR logo lasted a relatively short 7 years, 1987-1994, as the company fancied a rebrand with the massive investment which brought the 201's,2600 railcars and lots of infrastructure renewal and upgrades, hence the IE Fork logo
