murphaph Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) 112 in that configuration was on extended loan to IE though so it's got broader appeal. The loco got all over the IE network doing all the jobs any other 071 might do. I love the NIR stuff and thanks to specials, most of it has managed a visit fairly far south. I always thought there was something "exotic" about seeing NIR stuff at Connolly, probably because I grew up in Newcastle and was used to seeing nothing but supertrain and later tippex liveried stock from the top deck of the 68 passing Heuston. Seeing a blue 111 and white mk2's for the first time is something I still remember vividly. Edited December 23, 2021 by murphaph 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmie353 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Another one!!!! https://www.ebay.ie/itm/115154529119?hash=item1acfbeab5f:g:36sAAOSwEothw16f 440 euro to buy it now!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphaph Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Same seller. I see his logic. He had two bidders prepared to pay roughly 440 give or take a fiver. The losing bidder now gets a second bite at the cherry. Be interesting to see if a bid is placed at 440. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murphaph Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 That second one is no longer available, so likely sold for the €440 asking price. I am sure the new owner will treasure it. It almost makes me nervous taking mine out to run. If it falls to the floor it's irreplaceable to me as I couldn't justify the price of one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes at one stage around 2014 am I correct in recalling that a Lima 201 was for sale for €1200, but once the MM manufactured ones came on the market the Lima's were fetching €50. It doesn't seem that many years ago that 'The Modelshop Portlaoise' could not sell its stock of blue NIR livery 071s. They were listed for years, now gold dust? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphaph Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 And it happened overnight too because I only started buying Irish stuff last summer and I managed to get all the tippex 071s and the 3 NIR ones at "normal" prices. Nowadays I could not justify buying a single 071 at these prices. I would just have to wait until MM does a re-run or "some one else" does a new version at some point over the coming years. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's IRM's fault for bringing out so much magnificent rolling stock. In theory, they OWE us more 071's! 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

declan64 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Whatever about the IRM A-Classes, a landed price in excess of 200 euro for a Silver Fox A-Class is a joke. They're one of the poorest running locos I've ever owned and no lighting of course. Sold mine for 80 euro which is all they are worth.

An 8208 in Enterprise livery went for €408 as well. All those baby GMs at €300 buy it now seem to be gone.
