Glenderg Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Ebay Watch Hi guys, is this someone ohere ? To Re- engine your Lima's http://www.ebay.ie/itm/111653772466?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 It's a motor from a desktop CD/DVD drive :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riversuir226 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Not a bad idea if it keeps a few lima models knocking around for a few more years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I know the CD motor has been suggested before. It doesn't seem very expensive it if fits in and saves some work on figuring out the retrofit from scratch. These must be secondhand motors I suspect. Wonder how long they would last. Possibly a fair while as CD/DVD drive get a fair amount of spinning relative to being on a loco unless you're running it all day long. Free shipping for most of you too! Anybody used one...?

I used CD motor in a Hornby HST a while back. They fit near perfectly the only issue being getting the drive gear to fit snugly on the motor shaft. They can be picked up easily from junked PC's, laptops or stereos, here's a link. http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/77-Graham-s-Workbench?p=51957&viewfull=1#post51957 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from being the wrong scale, is it protoypical? Paint job seems to be pretty basic, maybe ok for then? Is it split from a set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josefstadt Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Advertised as 'Mint!' but one buffer missing, appears to be rust on the couplings and, as DC notes above, a fairly ropey paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Pretty rough indeed.... ebay contains many bargains, butalso many rip-offs. On more than a few occasions I have reported "railwayana" artefacts on sale on ebay which are outrageous forgeries / replicas, selling for way more than a genuine article would fetch.

Noel Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Do ebay sellers not realise their current prices on ebay for Irish stock is way above the market value and RRP here? It's just not going to sell at those daft prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 When stock runs out maybe but right now they are crazy prices. If MM201 River Shannon went up there at €180 it would go very quickly I reckon. Same for any IR and IE 141/181s around the €130 mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railer Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The Enterprise respray BREL Mk4 set is back up after failing to get a single bid last time and is back at the same price. They are consistent, I'll give them that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 That MIR 80 class kit is a rarity now. I'd be surprised if it doesn't sell. Sorry for confusion, I meant to say typical Irish MM stock, rather than the Mir kit. The current prices for MM locos and coaches on ebay seem OTT.

DiveController Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) When stock runs out maybe but right now they are crazy prices. If MM201 River Shannon went up there at €180 it would go very quickly I reckon. Same for any IR and IE 141/181s around the €130 mark. Not sure about Shannon but the 141s are not making more than E110-E120 or its equivalent. Other liveries are going for even less than that. There are some on there for up to STG115 but they are still there. In the last few months I have purchased 187, 184, 171 (twice) all at less than Eur121, but I agree that if you chum the waters enough, someone will eventually bite. That MIR 80 class kit is a rarity now. I'd be surprised if it doesn't sell. I realized that would likely be the case. It's not my thing but I have seen several rebuilds of the Class 80s on the fora so I thought someone might be interested Edited May 17, 2015 by DiveController typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of those awful CIE hymeks and the pair of the hornby CIE mk2a coaches that came with it. The two coaches are about to become donors for respraying/weathering training (i.e. not risking my MM mk2's). The Lima CIE class 33 which was released within a few years of the Hornby set was a far superior model and at least painted a sensible colour instead of the garish "ice pop" orange plastic used on the hornby's. The CIE roundel logo is a piece of sticky paper stuck on like a price label. Can't believe many would pay €245 for such toy rubbish.

WRENNEIRE Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Ex shop stock according to the seller The fact that they are in original box's is a lot of the value of these items Have a load of them but only one boxes coach, and quess what, its R720, same as his one If it were R721 I would be ringing him as he says he will not split the lot, dont know why?
