WRENNEIRE Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 MTK are now part of the Phoenix Precision Paint group. They also have No Nonsense Kits who I think took over MTK at one stage As Kirley says they are out of scale and also a pig of a kit to work with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BosKonay Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 I think, like most things, 021 depends on a good run of 071's leaving the shelves... (afaik, we'll be getting 071's all this year, so an 021 is probably a 2015 prospect at best) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Davies Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'd go for the MIR one as MM 121 is a long way of if ever at all according to the man himself My views on the 121, pretty much match Anthony's, I'd say the 121 from MM is in no way guaranteed. Couple this with the new found enjoyment I'm getting from actually, y'know, building things, and the MIR kit appeals more and more... -Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weshty Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Well, if you like building things prepare to pay good money for MIR and NNK/MTK kits. These went for good prices: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MODEL-IRISH-RAILWAYS-LOCO-KIT-for-a-GENERAL-MOTORS-B121-CLASS-LOCO-00-Gauge-/310554923026?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item484e841012 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MODERN-TRACTION-LOCO-KIT-for-a-CIE-C-201-CLASS-IRISH-DIESEL-LOCO-00-Gauge-/290838962134?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item43b75a5fd6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sentinel281 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Hi, just found this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ultra-Rare-Irish-N-Class-By-Bachmann-Murphy-Models-CIE-Emerald-Green-VGC-/251213437244?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3a7d7cd93c Are they really that expensive? What was the normal price at shops? This seller here has some UTA-Carriages. Are they prototypical? http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/sony_dj/m.html?item=400386820000&pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item5d38ea07a0&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Cheers, Gerhard.

What was the normal price at shops? Gerhard. You can't buy that loco in the shops as MM/Bachmann don't make it any more. I bought mine just over a year ago for £70 on eBay. If you keep your eye open you might pick up one £50/£60 mark. Your other option would be to buy a new Bachmann N Class and repaint it into a K/K1 Class the new Bachmann model also come DCC ready/fitted. Have a look at Wrenns history of Irish Models as he has a nice article on the model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRich Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Ebay is definitely buyer beware. The worrying thing is that people will be fooled into buying something like that without any knowledge of the prototype. I think that listing stuff like that is a bit like sticking a Mercedes badge on the bonnet of a Lada. Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
