A heads-up if anyone's after a copy of the first (1979) edition of the Doyle/Hirsch Locomotives and Rolling stock book, one going for £9 + £2 p&p.

Took me long enough to get all three!

Gonna be for sale for a long time at nearly €500 including tax and postage

WRENNEIRE · April 25, 2020

Free P&P, so works out at around €460

Noel · April 25, 2020

Given those locos are worth about €50, that puts a price of €150 on each of the three coaches.

Not necessarily, having the right box and inner can add 20 - 30% to the price of a collectable item

That was my initial reaction @Midland Man but it does have DCC Sound..difficult one, in regards to those steamers, €49.86 is very decent, the guts of €500 is frankly ridiculous considering the condition (in my opinion anyway)

The Bing loco is clockwork, MM. I’m also suspicious that Spray Tan Fresno has 63 Bing clockwork locos kicking around! Such things rather fun in action though and there are still a number of devotees of coarse scale clockwork and steam operation. Fine scale modelling it is not - but atmosphere in abundance!

PorkyP · May 6, 2020

I've got a fair bit of old 0 gauge tin stuff, I love these as they're proper hefty metal and have a real 'railway' feel about them, tho they aren't scale models as such...I've got one of those mamod steam locos tucked away somewhere too, which I must dig out and play with !

WRENNEIRE · May 12, 2020

Still interest in the older Lima Cl 33 stuff
Probably the rarest of these locos, produced by Lima, but with no roof exhaust and a slightly different colour to the loco
No number on the loco either

Yes indeed, some are selling in UK at those prices. A few sold for €140 a few weeks ago which seemed a good deal. The market may be ripe for a rerun in a year or two given the amount of quality IRM rolling stock now in circulation.

I would jump at a new run of 141/181s from Murphy. All of the ones I have been bidding for on ebay have gone out of reach quickly (I can't safely justify spending over €200 on a preowned model to the wife and expect to come away intact....)

So would a good few others who missed out on one of the most ubiquitous and most sought after Irish models ever produced (ie got back into the hobby in the last 6-7 years). I can't see a re-run happening anytime soon unless it is an exact rerun done by Bachmann for MM, otherwise they may need a refresh to bring them up to 121 spec which would add significant cost (eg lights, speaker, grills, etc). Personally the 141/181s are my favourite models by a country mile and totally happy with them as they are. IMHO the MM baby GMs are the finest precision runners of any loco from any manufacturer I've ever seen so far. Its a bit of a job 1st time around for a newbie to fit a decoder and sound speaker, but after the first one its plain sailing (ie compared to popping open a body hatch to plug a decoder in to a chassis that already has a speaker). I've heard some folk spout a theory that they believe once the 121 hits the market early collectors of 141/181s may offload some 141/181s on the market which may bring the eBay prices back down to where they were 4-5 years ago (eg GBP£100). One retailer told me he had multiple customers buy up to four each each running number of the original runs when first released!!! Methinks, Why on earth? Except perhaps hoping for a high future resale value based on what happened to the Lima 201s for a while before the pure MM 201s were released. Few layouts can stable that many locos anyway, if it can't run on the available track work, it can stay on a retailers shelf as far as I'm concerned.

I've ran about 2 of mine the rest of Mine little collection. Yes they could be classed as Pre owned however never ran, never out the box, some are in the Tissue and are technically brand new. If you are stuck for one you got to pony up I'm Afraid.

A new run could possibly be up these at 190 quid now given the pricing these days.

I could manage up to 190-200 like the 121s are from the likes of IRM. I just get priced out on ebay for the 141s once I have to factor in shipping costs to Finland which invariable adds another 20 sterling at least onto the price
