leslie10646 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I see that three of my wagons are on eBay at present, having come down from their stratospheric original price. The flat with the Guinness containers is close to the price I last charged for them - the flats are sold out, plenty of Guinness though. The other two strike me as very dear - the open was about £11 when I sold them, the furniture container was under £15. Caveat emptor!

Noel Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 €230 for 'used' baby GM with sound, a botched speaker installation protruding into the cab, dinted roof grill - does the buyer realise they could have bought a new loco plus sound for less? http://www.ebay.ie/itm/132201863710?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 B&T baby GMs €99 one week with only 2 bids, but €227 a week later with 36 bids albeit with a sound ship! Not to mention another B&T for €160 and €175 for an orange 181 a week earlier. Strangely fluctuating market forces! IE/IR and ST liveries seem to be commanding higher prices these past few months than B&T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin R Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Thank Blaine, to be honest I am looking more for class A, B and C Diesel locos in the green and silver livery period. does anyone know if these are on Murphy's model hit list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Colin. They are not on Murphy Models current nor future plans list, but right now they are available in RTR or Kit form from SilverFox models (see below). I recommend using a quality centre drive AWD/AWP chassis instead of the recommended Hornby/Lima toy chassis. And . . . I strongly hope/suspect a high quality RTR fine scale model of the A class may be available from another vendor within the next few years.

Glenderg Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Colin, There's been much discussion on this forum about Silverfox products, which can end up getting quite heated. Simply put, if you want a model who's cabs look like they've been belted with a swallow tail shovel, and painted in a shade of orange that was specified by Willy Wonka' oompa loompas, rather than CIE, go for it. If you just want to play trains of an evening they'll suit fine. If you're of the purist persuasion, much work has to be done and I'd recommend the studio scale sulzer b101 kit over SF as it captures the shape. As far as MM is concerned and metrovicks, until you hear a firm statement from him, ruling in or out, I wouldn't assume anything.

Colin R Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Thanks Richie, I think I will wait until a proper kit or model is available, I have nothing against silver fox produces, but I would prefer to buy something that fits in with the better detail models available today. I am sure I have seen a 3D print of these 3 loco bodies somewhere, but I don't think it was on shapeways. Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 A R-T-R "A" and "C" at the very least, along with a good kit or RTR fertiliser and cattle wagon would go a huge, huge way in the hobby. We're seeing the modern era, tipped era, supertrsin era and black'n'tan era very impressively covered now. A good set of green'n'silver and steam eras would give some great choices. We are about to get a RTR GSWR / GSR / CIE J15. This is the single most essential loco of all of the steam era, along with Des' excellent SSM J15 kit. A Midland 6-wheeler and a decent GSWR or MGWR six-wheel passenger brake would conclude the basics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
