Noel Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 There is a mk2 EGV (black roof) going on eBay for about €45 plus postage. I thought these were as rare as hens teeth, but this one didn't sell two weeks ago and was relisted. No bids and its 12mins to go! I already have one, but surprised this isn't in demand. It would be an easy respray of the roof only if somebody wanted an orange roofed one. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/112150713390?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I got a price to post a 141 - in its original box - from Dublin to the north today; postage was €4.55 or so. I know postage is generally much cheaper in the south anyway, especially for boxes / parcels, but there's a fair difference between that and £20 sterling!

jhb171achill Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 A lovely looking beast, indeed, and it shows what can be done to create a good, if not strictly accurate CIE look. It should be grey, though; easily remedied. The significant differed is the cab - this could also be very easily amended, though overall it looks great.

RedRich Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Ah lad's please. I can understand people offering praise and encouragement, but just look at pics of the prototype. There is more wrong with that model than there is correct. The chimney, the dome, there aren't any whistles, and that's just the beginning. Things have come such a long way in recent years do we really wan't to go back to that being acceptable. Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I would feel that there's a place for both. Standards have indeed come on, but the numbers of hours in a day and wallet size maybe haven't kept up!

Mayner Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Its stretching it a bit to describe cutting off the safety valves & whistle off the loco and painting it grey as a conversion from an M7 to 279. The big draw back to rtr conversions is that apart from the Woolwich, Jinty & LMS 2P 4-4-0 few British rtr locos look anything close to an Irish loco. The loco appears to be based on the original Triang-Hornby M7 from the late 60s owner probably would have been better to leave it in BR or SR livery. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=triang-hornby+M7&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC1.A0.H0.Xhornby+M7.TRS0&_nkw=hornby+M7&_sacat=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieB Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I agree with John that the L1 is a good starting point for producing any of the larger GSWR/GSR 4-4-0's. A number of people have made good representations over the years. The main drawback is that the loco is too long but shortening it is a major undertaking involving a new chassis. If you're going to that amount of trouble, then there are always the smaller wheeled versions, the 333 and 342 classes. Incidentally, there always seems to be a fair number of L1's for sale on eBay.
