Railer Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 He'd be doing well as I have not seen that Mk2 in stock in Marks for a very long time. That's a very rare Mk2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right so - just remembered Marks having a sale on Irish stuff a week or so ago, and thought the Mk2s were on it.

Noel Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 A very reasonable price indeed for such a thing. I think they were over 100 new....? Looks like it didn't sell. No picture of a box, nor the other side of the loco, nor an indication of its condition (i.e. new, mint, test run only or used). So perhaps folk not happy to buy at that price without enough info. They can be got with boxes in near mint condition for €100 from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I'm astonished that it didn't sell... I have two, boxed and unused, in reserve for a possible future layout. Had I only one, I'd have snapped that one up in no time. I just need the two. I can't remember what I paid new - whatever the going rate was at the time....

They can be got with boxes in near mint condition for €100 from time to time. Agreed. Plus in the first two pictures, the aim of the picture is at such a poor angle that the bogies seem to be hanging very low, almost directly on the table-top, like there are no wheels. Judging by the third picture the wheels are certainly there. But if you're looking to market your product the first two pictures are not doing it much of a favour and maybe after them no one looked at the third one!

GSR 800 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 So it's mint, but not mint... Mint or not mint, that is the question.. Nice model though, and certainly the first model of an oil burning steamer I've seen.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenderg Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 There's a bad dent on the tender which is from using the wrong glue. It has warped the side. And the tank where the coal should be isn't exactly "finescale" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 If it's an oil burner it should be all-grey, not black (though dirt / oil deposits might make it look black!). Also the common but obvious error that "snail" is yellow. Snails were never yellow on steam engines, be they grey, black or green - this was Whitehead invention when 461 was first restored about 1990 or so. The RPSI had a black livery with yellow snail on 461 and 184. The loco number in unlined yellow, yes, but the "snail" should always, without exception, be pale green lined in gold. CIE simply didn't have transfers in yellow for steam engines. By the time the yellow ones for 121s appeared, no remaining steam engine would ever see a paintbrush again - within a year it would be the scrapper's torch. I would say the stark white circle (and it's interesting to see a model with this - all credit to the modeller for this aspect!) would have ended its white career half way into its first run!

jhb171achill Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Up to the late 40s, 800s excepted, just grey all the way. Then lined green for suburban passenger and main line passengers engines (most) and grey for everything else with a few green exceptions (like just one old GSWR 60 class). Somewhere, somewhere, in the Catacombs I have a list of what engines got black - this was only in the late 50s. I'll try and find it and post. Really, that's about it.
