  1. Was one of the CIE/IE pair, now no more
  2. It was for personal reasons that MIR closed up, as much as anything else. Ian still owns all of the tooling so dont rule out a return in the future
  3. Everybody wants something different - but only the select few are in a position to fund stuff. RTR models are funded with cold hard cash, not hopes and dreams
  4. Your marketing skills are admirable Mark
  5. 1. Sorcery 2. 39 Leptons 3. Magnetic Levitation units
  6. Those 3 are Kibri models
  7. Always more in the North. The MRSI one for October in Dublin is at the planning stage
  8. Some being the key word here... Good enough for some people but not good enough for me! Id say if RTR components are used in making the master mould it helps. I recall their model of D0260 'Lion', you could clearly see the lines of the Lima 47 cabs...
  9. Neither model is bang on shape wise, SSM is better but not quite there either
  10. He generally cant get many models right. As long as the gullible keep buying them and all that
  11. Thats peanuts really

    MK3 Scrapping

    This site needs a like button
  13. Will wait until they are out in the wild
  14. Dont forget your clamps
  15. Had, now disconnected. Was an early experiment
  16. Was something to do with NIR taking on 3 Enterprise runs a day and the Hunslets continuing issues. EMD had no problems at all making a single locomotive and id say axles/cabs aside most parts were available off the shelf. Dont forget at the time the 111's were among the most intensively worked locomotives in the British Isles
  17. 3 years - 1981 for 111/2, 1984 for 113
  18. 111's delivered in the original light blue, 208/9 delivered in blue, all the IÉ ones delivered in the original orange livery (including 206/7)
  19. Nice to see a pricelist instead of 'pm for details'
  20. You are this time, the photo above was a service train. They always were a shared fleet
  21. Could just be the trailer that was owned by CIE, if even that..
  22. Dapol prestwin chassis once again does the job........
  23. Was expecting news on the Mk3's at Dundalk, not unrelated photos, whats this about staying on topic
  24. Make careful note of the pricing and time taken to make up the tooling....... Not cheap or quick!
