I would find it very difficult to ever pay more than the price of a new 121 class for one of these ever. as we all know you cant just stop at one either so that figure compounds that being said I cant see them not being re released at this stage. the demand is clearly there now more so than it will have been a few years ago. If paddy doesnt i dare say IRM will take the reigns at some stage and come out with their own variant. IR Diesels were THE iconic thing for me on the railway growing up. 2 Quote

When the 141s came out, I was an infant! Unfortunately, we won’t see the MM 141 ever again, due to it being wrapped up with Bachman. I’ve been looking for the Black n tan 141 for ages . A few pop on on Ebay now and again for ludicrous prices. A FAIR price for those models due to the demand would be €200-€230 range if there was any justice 1 Quote

They're just holding off on the release until the speculators (that's Murphaph and I, selling the same twenty locos to each other over and over again, earning commission from IRM) get the prices high enough for the release to go ahead. With all of the buyers frothing at the mouths, they'll sell out before the container is even opened. 2 5 Quote

mmie353 Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 It is getting crazy with the prices on eBay, I know everyone is entitled to ask what they want for their models an it looks like there are people out there that will pay them prices, as long as people will keep buying models at crazy prices, the more and more we will see of prices going up. I was going to start looking for 3 071s and trying to keep an eye out for them, I wonder what prices they would command at the moment on eBay. 1 Quote

mmie353 Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Hi George, I have thought of that and I am also keeping a thought on it. The ones listed are in IE and Supertrain. I have to do some research when I finish my working day later on to see if I am willing to renumber a loco or not. Edited January 31, 2022 by mmie353 Quote

Wow that's mad Ted. I bought most of our Cravens for €35ea only 5 years ago. How times have changed. How come the demand has increased so much these past 3 years? Have that many people taken up the hobby (ie Irish scene), or returned to the hobby in the past 3 years? Its kind of nuts seeing blue NIR 071s going for silly money now when they were available on retailers shelves for €160 only six years ago. How fast things can change. Quote
murphaph Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 Yep. Loads of us have returned to the hobby after decades long hiatuses only to realise that Irish stuff was actually available! I got my Cravens "at the last minute" so to speak from Chris Dyer in the summer of 2020 still at the normal RRP. They were no longer to be found anywhere else at that stage so I was delighted to get them. I'm even more delighted now! 1 1 Quote

Canoes are totally Different. try doing 30 miles in a day in the Lidl one!! In the late 60s, I did most of the Thames in a giant two-man fibreglass kayak. It was a real 'lump', but it was OK once you got going and we were going downstream. We had borrowed the vessel, and the name of the owners was emblazoned down both sides - RAF Transport Command - I doubt that we had the Russians worried and I never spotted anybody trying to take covert photos of the internal technology. 2 Quote
iarnrod Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 Chris Dyer still has a supply of new MM 201's, including the NIR ones, for far less than what some of the ones on ebay are making. Up to recently, he still has or had 208, 209, 220, 210, 203 in stock. 4 1 2 Quote
