    Picked up this set at Stillorgan yesterday

    Seller had it from the time he was a breadsnatcher.

    It looks like it was never out of the box

    Interesting that the usual instructions that accompany these sets was still included

    It shows the set number, R384, and the date of manufacture, 16th May 1977.

    I was of the opinion that the Hornby sets, Slainte Express and this one were not manufactured till 1980

    Also included is a 1977 Hornby catalogue which makes no reference to the CIE Set!

    Good find, the missing is Card tunnel.

    The Hornby sets, Slainte Express was production in 1976.

    Hornby to dropping production of Triang style bogie motors with black wheels by end of 1977, In early 1978 it will replace by new 'ringfield' motor with plastic bogie and chassis with silver wheels on Hymek and Class 37.

    The hornby logo was 1976-77. Have a look at history of Hornby logo - http://www.hornbyguide.com/logo_menu.asp
