DJ Dangerous Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 If Rails of Sheffield list these two on their eBay store, keep an eye because they give out discount codes every week or two. This weeks code is JOY15. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabhal Luimnigh Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 Well I'm back to having the 2 unused ones to swap again, been messed around I'm afraid, so 156 and 143 still here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphaph Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Maybe ask if anyone has a black one to sell rather than swap and if they do, sell one of your ones and buy it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dangerous Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 @murphaph the weatherman is probably correct. Finding a swap is twice as hard as selling and then buying, as you need both events to coincide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphaph Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 It's also the case that some people are being encouraged to part with their sole MM loco that they bought for the novelty value when they cost €100 or whatever. Many people never moved from modelling GB outline to Irish but did buy the MM locos when they came out for the novelty value. There must be quite a few of these locos knocking around still and these folks will not be interested in a swap at all. There are probably many MM locos owned by people who aren't even in the hobby anymore, they would also have no interest in a swap. I would focus on finding one for sale rather than a swap as you have the easier to sell examples that go for the most money 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I reckon the best course of action would be to buy up a few black ones and stash away the orange ones whilst you still can, youll miss them once theyve gone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, @Gabhal Luimnigh Could buy one of those from @Georgeconna and then sell one of his and make a profit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabhal Luimnigh Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 Success, got one locomotive swapped, I'm delighted. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connollystn Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Congratulations, that's a fantastic deal. I have a couple of that locomotive and hoping that soon there will be stock to operate with it. The Crossley engined A classes have a bit more character and really delighted that I got my hands on some of them. The silvers are my favourite and you should consider trying to get your hands on one - the detail really exudes from them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember any of the pre Supertrain liveries but I'm not really beholden to the era I grew up in, just like models which are really nice. Think I'll get someone to weather one of my A30s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabhal Luimnigh Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 Ok this is the one that's left, I am not even looking for a new locomotive, as long as it's working is good enough for me, anything black and tan or black, CIE, any class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
