WRENNEIRE Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) Is this the most expensive RTR OO Gauge Irish coach yet? And remember it is a standard, there were 6 different numbered ones manufactured over the 2 runs of the Supertrains whereas only 2 1sts, 2 Comps, 3 Diners 7 3 EGV's €202 landed!!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353512990142?hash=item524f0425be:g:3A0AAOSwXQJgT4xp Edited May 30, 2021 by WRENNEIRE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRENNEIRE Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Heres more of it C Rail container is £7 and postage is around £5 Look at this muppet Same container is £14.95 and postage is £13.37 Jesus wept! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144042838058?hash=item21899f482a:g:erkAAOSwb4Vgt2RE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhu Varren Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 In all fairness, although the item price is way OTT, the only muppet is the person who pays such a price. As for the postage cost, blame the Global Shipping Programme, not the seller. The UK shipping is postage at cost, namely £3.20. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Older readers will remember that my 70th pressie arrived 5 years late, but well worth waiting for. So, I've got No.5 in CBSCR Green, which even if it looks very GWR, it's a nice little engine (the box is three times the size of it!). It's with Kernow to be chipped, after which I'll post it moving in Portadown Goods yard. Remember what Lord White said - "It's MY railway and I'll run what I want on it"! Except you're a dab hand at kit bashing, I'm afraid that Irish steam locos ain't cheap. I can't suggest that they make a great investment, it's like everything - if you want it enough, you'll get it regardless. Obviously the VAT / postage thing doesn't affect me - modellers in NI can offer to bring it over the border for you in their pockets? It's outrageous what "The Leader" has foisted on us with this Brexit thing. 12 minutes ago, jhb171achill said: I got mine delivered to a relative in Britain, who accidentally brought it over to me.......

If i tried that i could well be waiting as long as Leslie did for the 70th! Invest the hundred or so saved and become fabulously wealthy while I wait At the end of the day its a rare type, one that I doubt will ever be produced again for a very long time, and is probably worth far more to someone if they happen to be building a layout of the west cork in the 30s. If you're rolling in a few quid you might as well.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres only really space in the loco for the motor and the tender body is a solid piece so (unless it was slung under the tender chassis?) somewhat akin to the Woolwich, though those locos have their own long set of issues!

Ahh VAT......I Forgot about that Ive no problem spending 6-700 euro on a Bandon tank or something along those lines but then when it comes to these saddle tanks withdrawn in the early 40s that even for the CBSCR man doing a 1960s theme, its a bit hard to justify what would end up being 400 euros when i could get 2 A class's for that Ill see if there is one pops up (as they sometimes do) around christmas That might be enough justification to get rid of all my savings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have one in Hornby's gastly dayglo orange. It has no value as a model other than sentimental value from childhood. I also have a BR blue one. The orange was so awful I repainted it by hand and weathered the chassis about 1972. Still has the stick on CIE roundal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
