Have an MRNCC one and it's cast iron.

 

Would doubt they would fit lowly wagons with brass plates, brass is usually reserved for loco worksplates and the odd carriage plate but I have been surprised before.

Hard to tell from pic if brass or just painted with gold paint. Need to see 'in the flesh'.

Bloody hell Noel, is there anything you have not got up in the attic, or in semi retirement :drool:

 

:) And a rake of Lima CIE coaches behind (i.e. BR Mk1s in CIE B&T), from about 1978ish that ran with Lima's CIE class 33s pretending to be A class locos. As I said back then, this looked as close as one could get to Irish RTR model stock.

Jesus, Noel, but your a bad boy, :(

In my humble experience Lima locomotives do not make good paper weights. That price seems totally daft. I wouldn't take one of those for free. Lima 201 v MM 201 = Lada v Audi :)

It shows just how"out of step"I am....that's a hefty price? I'd be out of the bidding on those sort of prices! My feeble Hornby set...20 yrs.old pales in comparison to prices like that! But I do love Irish Rail!

Yes it is, for less than half that price you could buy a superb running newer version of the Murphy Model 201 with all wheel pickup and all wheel drive (e.g. €150-170), far superior to the poor Lima toy.

I contacted him when he first posted it on eBay, I think this is the 3rd listing for it

Sent him a link to a similar Lima 201 that sold for £60.

He thanked me and said he got big money for one in the past

I sent him a link to MM and explained the reason why the arse had fallen out of the Lima 201's

But would he listen.......

Look who's selling it.

That explains a lot.

All of his stuff is mad money.

 

Yep, renowned for asking stupid money for *****.

 

Gets a lot of sales though mind you. And people thought that Wrenneire charges too much! :P

The MM 201's have a floating center axle and aren't all wheel drive. It is a good thing in one sense as a rigid all wheel drive can sometimes be a bit problematic for anyone modelling in the correct gauge. A lot of BR modellers that model in P4 have had some problems with the Bachmann class 47.

 

Rich,
