Yes, I own it now.

 

Another 21mm gauge challenge.

 

To balance out the greedy sellers, this guy has a couple of 071's at a good price..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Murphy-Models-CIE-Irish-Rail-Larnrod-Eireann-Class-071-111-Unused-/181957834669?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

 

Another one to have a go at.

I will have plenty available come mid Feb. 75+5 postage. €80 total ( a little bit more for the UK or out foreign).

 

Time to read up about the Sulzers. At least B103 is still with us.

....Fancy losing about a grand by torching those boxes?? =))

 

Unfortunately, you need the boxes for things like that.

 

Coaches like that are so expensive, you'd be afraid to run them....and certainly not at a show where you'd be paranoid they'd get stolen.

 

Mind, though, Golden Age coaches are cheap (and not very well-detailed) compared to the ones made by this fella

How much we talking Ivan?

Loads.

 

At least 400 quid a coach. But yer man puts everything into it - working gangways, curtains, carpeting.....the works.

 

and a nice kitbuilt loco to pull them I expect, much like the golden age stuff. Cheaper RTR steam locos wont have the pulling power for kit built coaches I'd imagine.

If you can afford Rocar coaches, you can also afford to commission "Stella Artois" to build your engines. Prices start at a few grand. Something like a GSR "800" 4-6-0 would most likely cost five figures, with the decimal point after....

I'm loving that buffet detail.

That Rocar fella doesn't seem to have any info about ordering, or prices - does he do commissions, I wonder, or did I just miss something?

 

As J.P. Morgan once said, "If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it"

It's not a correction... it's my opinion, legally held. Anyway, are you not in that category? :)

He was offering his opinion too. What's with the overreaction? Legalities indeed. Going on like that wont do much to your blood pressure.

Several stands with stuff like these at the Reading Trade Show two weeks ago. They are even better 'in the flesh' as it were. Loveless, Masterpiece too & just as good, but each the price of a fairly decent second hand car. A full train would cost as much as a decent new one... Judging by the number of folk interested, there are those out there with pockets that deep, while one or two even have suitable layouts to run them on too.

Maybe when I win the lottery, I'll buy a few, but need to buy a ticket first!

A brand-new Dacia will cost ye less than a 4mm scale engine built by Stella Artois.

If he had a 70's CIE buffet, maybe. With the little jam pots with the cie logo on them. Always thought those were so cool, but then I was 7...

 

He'll build one for ye. All he needs is the info from ye.....and some money.

 

Pure Gold... :)
