Hi George. I'd choose to do without I guess. As I've done with other rare models (eg Bachmann Mk2a, U class, etc). Would keep an eye out over extended time period at swap-meets and trade stands at places like Stillorgan and Bray. eBay just drives prices even higher. Fortunately over a number of years this paid off with baby GMs. Noel Quote

Or fortunately when you look at the price people are prepared to pay already! I'm glad I'm not looking for one anyway. I'm blessed I got back into the hobby when I did and nabbed all the 071s I need. Just in the nick of time to be honest. 2 Quote
Dempsey Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 I shall be patient. Hopefully when shows open back up I'll be able to snap up some bargain one then. 3 Quote

Jealous! No such thing as shows like that down here. Ever. That one's already up to €350, with four and a half days to go! What's the record for a MM loco??? 5 hours ago, murphaph said: I'm blessed I got back into the hobby when I did and nabbed all the 071s I need. Just in the nick of time to be honest. Ditto, although I missed out on the grey 071's as they were snapped up by the price gougers when launched. Cheaper to commission resprays via Chis Dyer than buy them on eBay - except for that one, thanks to you! Edited February 21, 2021 by DJ Dangerous Quote
murphaph Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Yeah does anyone know the highest price ever paid for a MM loco? There was this one for €416 a few days back: https://m.ebay.ie/itm/Murphys-Models-NIR-Irish-class-111-No113-Belfast-and-County-Down-Ltd-Edition/124563627657#vi__app-cvip-panel That must be a contender but I heard of a kind of mania around the Lima 201s during the Celtic Tiger where all bets were off on price.

DJ Dangerous Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 I think that we may certainly be looking at a contnender here. Did the Lima 201's go for a lot back in the old days? Quote
DJ Dangerous Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Quaint looking set for €250: https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Lima-H0-Set-CIE-Irish-Railways-nahezu-neuwertig-inkl-Trafo-und-Schienen-Raritat/265063695018?hash=item3db70702aa:g:ZtcAAOSwSJpf~KM~ Quote

Dempsey Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 I ordered paints off hattons and had them quick enough with no problems. May just have been due to the relatively low value. Quote

WRENNEIRE Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Back in the Lima days I kept records of prices achieved but I do remember getting £405 stg for a River Shannon and at the time I think it was €1.45 - €150 to the £stg, unfortunately the records seem to have disappeared 2 Quote
