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.

RobertRoche Posted January 9, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted January 10, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Posted February 9, 2015 Share 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.

DiveController Posted February 9, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhu Varren Posted February 10, 2015 Share 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.
