DiveController Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Ah here....& €12 postage! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Irish-Rail-Murphy-Model-MM0220-CI-201-No-220-CIE-Irish-Diesel-Loco-/322184180250?hash=item4b03ac721a:g:wEoAAOSwRQlXfYlb I believe that seller may have changed his eBay handle... one would need to draw one's own conclusions Quote
Railer Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Misleading description too. It's clearly 220 Blackwater yet it states it's 201 River Shannon at the bottom. Quote
Noel Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 201s probably the least popular Irish prototype for models especially that bodge of a 1994 livery by IR Quote
Noel Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Cloud cuckoo land??? There are a shed load of MM baby GMs 161, 165, 188 and 182 for sale on flee bay, but for a staggering €165 each PLUS €20 postage, thats €185 each. Cloud cuckoo land prices when you can buy these new for under €120. Quote
Dave Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Can you still buy 142/181s new? No, only second hand now. Mr Bracken has some pristine ones. Quote
Noel Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Can you still buy 142/181s new? Yes as far as I know Chris Dyer still has new stock. Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Yes as far as I know Chris Dyer still has new stock. He unfortunatly has sold out of them Not many new ones around Remember that they were introduced in 07, nearly 10 years old now Quote

Does you remember what RRP they were back in 2007? I bought my first one new from Fry museum and vaguely remember it priced about €85 but I could be confused. I see the 4 eBay ones have been reduced from €165 to €150 with free post in Ireland. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/322193048295?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Noel Quote

Northman Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Maybe I'm wrong but the p&p seems ,still,to be 20 euros. Quote

Northman Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 I would have been tempted but the p&p is a bit to steep. Quote
Noel Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Quite a few 141/181 on sale on eBay UK at reasonable prices except for daft postage. Quote
Noel Posted October 4, 2016 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

jhb171achill Posted November 18, 2016 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! Quote

jhb171achill Posted February 12, 2017 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. Quote
RedRich Posted February 13, 2017 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

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! Quote
Mayner Posted February 13, 2017 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
Mayner Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Triang L1 4-4-0 a good basis for anyone wanting to have a go at a D2 or other large 4-4-0 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Triang-Railways-R350-R36-Class-L1-4-4-0-Green-Livery-/332123972007?hash=item4d5421a1a7:g:X64AAOSwt5hYiRS- Triang-Hornby discontinued the model in the late 1960s and left a huge gap for anyone looking for a simple reliable chassis for a 4-4-0 Quote
StevieB Posted February 13, 2017 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.
