aclass007 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 With postage I reckon this would have cost around €110 landed over hereWorth the money do you reckon? To the person who wants it, it's probably cheap. How do you put a value on these things? But, saying that, I can't remember what I paid for the one I have, but I think it was less than that. Quote
RobertRoche Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Have you seen these Mark 3? repaints that are currently on ebay? There is a whole Enterprise train with Lima 201 and a driving trailer. Also Mark 3s resprayed into mark 4 Intercity livery. The starting prices are quite low too, a bit more than a week left on the auctions, it will be interesting to see what they go for - they may not be correct, but they would certainly look the part if that is what you are after! Enterprise set starting at £150 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181635492402?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Mark 4 set staring at £135 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181635519604?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Also this Lima 201 is selling for €350! http://www.ebay.ie/itm/LIMA-205159-IE-CIE-IRISH-RAILWAYS-CLASS-201-LOCO-216-RIVER-DODDER-MINT-BOXED-nc-/331422674305?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item4d2a54ad81 Edited January 10, 2015 by robbie58 Quote
Blaine Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Yeah, it just ended at £80, or something. I have one the same as it. I think it's supposed to be from a traction motor..... Ive one too - there were lots of these available 20 years ago when the final batch of A's were being cut up in Inchicore, the ITG sold plenty as a fundraiser Quote

It looks slightly different to the Silverfox one. Doubt it, nothing new on their website. Pretty sure they'd have made a big deal of it. Looks very similar to me except for better lighting and maybe more cleanly painted grills. What did you think was different? At STG100 (E135, USD153, in real money)………. would expect a huge improvement versus SF Edited February 8, 2015 by DiveController Quote

Only curious to see how long it takes before the realisation sets in that it is not going to sell at anywhere near that price. Quote
Noel Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I have been watching this on ebay for some time now. Only curious to see how long it takes before the realisation sets in that it is not going to sell at anywhere near that price. Agree. Dreamland. It's a Lima chassis after all which was the 'Lada' of model runners. IMHO it's probably not even worth €80 when one can buy a new MM 201 for €150-170 from established quality retailers. MM being a precision double flywheel centre drive chassis with 8 wheel drive and all wheel pickup, it's no contest with any Lima loco. Quote
DiveController Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 It is IFM, thats their name on ebay... I know that's their eBay handle but I don't see a kit or rtr on their website. Wouldn't they be selling it from their online store if that was the case......? They don't say it's IFM (or SF for that matter) Quote
Railer Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Living in the past - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LIMA-205159-IE-CIE-IRISH-RAILWAYS-CLASS-201-LOCO-216-RIVER-DODDER-MINT-BOXED-nc-/331422674305?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item4d2a54ad81 At least now he's dropped the €28 postage to Ireland that was on it last week when I posted it. Just needs to drop another €200 to shift it. The body of the Lima's is not bad though. The orange to yellow colour mix is better than the MM ones and much more accurate imo. Quote

BosKonay Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 The Limas' make excellent 'background' locos, projects, or, more relevantly these days, collectors items. Quote
Blaine Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 But the chassis is not of the same standard as the MM Thanks for the pointing that out, I was wondering where the differences lay Quote

This is a "wholly IFM product" per Tom but is not on their website and is "a special order only". I'm not sure who special ordered it on eBay but it's a nice GSV and there if anyone needs one right now. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Irish-Rail-CIE-Dutch-steam-heating-van-ideal-for-murphy-models-etc-New-/261767106946?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cf2891182 Edited February 10, 2015 by DiveController Quote
Dhu Varren Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 It is certainly a nice model, and a 'nice' price too. I just wonder how the little people get in and out, as there do not appear to be any door handles. A couple of boilers would not go amiss either. Quote
