Kirley Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Same guy has these for sale.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MODERN-TRACTION-LOCO-KIT-for-a-CIE-A-001-CLASS-IRISH-DIESEL-LOCO-00-Gauge-/290838945944?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item43b75a2098 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MODERN-TRACTION-LOCO-KIT-for-a-CIE-C-201-CLASS-IRISH-DIESEL-LOCO-00-Gauge-/290838962134?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item43b75a5fd6 I speak from experience – unless you want an out of scale A Class or C Class stay away from these MTK kits. Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 MTK are now part of the Phoenix Precision Paint group. They also have No Nonsense Kits who I think took over MTK at one stage As Kirley says they are out of scale and also a pig of a kit to work with Quote
Robert Davies Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 121 Class for sale, MIR kit, original whitemetal bodyhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310554923026&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123 Not having got a 121, and rather liking them, I quite fancy that MIR kit... Shame it'll probably go for mad money Quote
Riversuir226 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Rob, id hold of till the Murphy s one comes out next year, well thats my plan anyway!!! Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Rob, id hold of till the Murphy s one comes out next year, well thats my plan anyway!!! I'd go for the MIR one as MM 121 is a long way of if ever at all according to the man himself Quote
Riversuir226 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Thats not good, thought it was on his definite list when he announced his goodie list a few years back.... Quote
BosKonay Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 I think, like most things, 021 depends on a good run of 071's leaving the shelves... (afaik, we'll be getting 071's all this year, so an 021 is probably a 2015 prospect at best) Quote
Robert Davies Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I'd go for the MIR one as MM 121 is a long way of if ever at all according to the man himself My views on the 121, pretty much match Anthony's, I'd say the 121 from MM is in no way guaranteed. Couple this with the new found enjoyment I'm getting from actually, y'know, building things, and the MIR kit appeals more and more... -Rob Quote

The 121 did go for quite a bit... It's only money... Quote
Riversuir226 Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I thought it would go for higher, hope it was sold to a buyer who ll actually build it and not to one of those nasty collector types;) Quote

I think there's a very good chance that the buyer will build it. In fact I think he's just sizing a chassis up for it now. Quote
Riversuir226 Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Excellent news, congrats on winning the auction and hope you enjoy building it. Quote
Sentinel281 Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Hi, just found this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ultra-Rare-Irish-N-Class-By-Bachmann-Murphy-Models-CIE-Emerald-Green-VGC-/251213437244?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3a7d7cd93c Are they really that expensive? What was the normal price at shops? This seller here has some UTA-Carriages. Are they prototypical? http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/sony_dj/m.html?item=400386820000&pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item5d38ea07a0&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Cheers, Gerhard. Quote

What was the normal price at shops? Gerhard. You can't buy that loco in the shops as MM/Bachmann don't make it any more. I bought mine just over a year ago for £70 on eBay. If you keep your eye open you might pick up one £50/£60 mark. Your other option would be to buy a new Bachmann N Class and repaint it into a K/K1 Class the new Bachmann model also come DCC ready/fitted. Have a look at Wrenns history of Irish Models as he has a nice article on the model Quote
Weshty Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Oh... I think there's a very good chance that the buyer will build it. In fact I think he's just sizing a chassis up for it now. Attah boy Robert!!! Now, less drooling over the keyboard and wide eyed, anticipatory rubbing of hands if you please. There may be children watching. ;-) Quote

A Gresley A4 with a flying snail on the tender? Quote
RedRich Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Ebay is definitely buyer beware. The worrying thing is that people will be fooled into buying something like that without any knowledge of the prototype. I think that listing stuff like that is a bit like sticking a Mercedes badge on the bonnet of a Lada. Rich, Quote
UP6936 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Ah here... what next? A Gresley A4 with a flying snail on the tender? Don't temp them! Careless talk costs good models! Quote
