  1. It never left York Road after it was delivered. A £400k waste.......
  2. Im surprised people are still concerned about this well sunken ship....
  3. If its really bad a bit of manual sanding can be done
  4. Slight overkill on the amount of lacquer on 230, but gets credibility otherwise
  5. Interesting seller
  6. It was, but with IE Cravens. A great day http://www.irishtractiongroup.com/tours/tour18.htm
  7. Was one of the CIE/IE pair, now no more
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. Your marketing skills are admirable Mark
  11. 1. Sorcery 2. 39 Leptons 3. Magnetic Levitation units
  12. Those 3 are Kibri models
  13. Always more in the North. The MRSI one for October in Dublin is at the planning stage
  14. 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...
  15. Neither model is bang on shape wise, SSM is better but not quite there either
  16. He generally cant get many models right. As long as the gullible keep buying them and all that
  17. Thats peanuts really

    This site needs a like button
  19. Will wait until they are out in the wild
  20. Dont forget your clamps
  21. Had, now disconnected. Was an early experiment
  22. 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
  23. 3 years - 1981 for 111/2, 1984 for 113
  24. 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)
