Hi Leslie

I have already emailed you separately with my order!

Looking forward to meeting up on Saturdqay morning coming!

Two of the "broken wheel" versions arrived in today's post, and they are very nice. Thank you, Leslie.

Those of you getting yours at the show over the weekend have something good to look forward to...

Got four of the CIE "broken wheel" versions. Lovely models. Thank you Leslie.  They will go well with a few of the IRM Bulleid open wagons. Perfect for a mid-1970s setting.

[DJ Dangerous]

The snails are slow making their way onto the forum.

I've been down south for so many years that my Irish geography is getting hazy, but are you saying that @Louth is in Dublin?

[Niles]

Picked up one of each today, lovely pieces, prompting one of my Táilte coconspirators to invest in a set too.  

Excellent initiative @leslie10646

 

[leslie10646]

Thanks, Niles. I've emptied a boxful of each to date at The Show (close on a hundred wagons). Paul Daly (great exhibition Paul, thanks) came by and removed the empty cartons. He'd earlier bought a couple of the wagons himself.

Down to about twenty "Broken Wheels".

Thanks to all who dropped by and said "Hi" and have made a little investment.

bit late to the party but PM sent Leslie

[Flying Snail]

I got mine from the man himself yesterday - one of each. The look very well indeed, very pleased!

The wagons look brilliant, and the layout looks really great, @Sean! The backscene, the track, the ballast, the scattered growth, the lights, and of course the dodgy looking Transit sitting suspiciously there. All just looks excellent.

[leslie10646]

Sean, thanks for posting the piccie. I agree with "DJ" the layout looks great and the vans look at home!

2nd run so with new running numbers

Great to chat with you at the show.

[MD220]

These are lovely looking models. Does anyone know if any examples of these vans survived into preservation? I know that Westrail had one (2213N) but I have a suspicion that it might have been cut up, though I can't be sure.

WCR, glad you liked the wee van. The Broken Wheel sold out early yesterday. When Paddy M came, I had to dip into the reserve (Family / people I'd forgotten .....) - but who wouldn't oblige a gentleman who has MADE the Irish hobby?

Down to last half dozen snails.

If there's the demand (Speak up!), another Wheel with a different number will follow. I like the two colour Broken Wheel (which Claire in The Studio at Dapol got so nicely), so I won't need too much persuading.

Also an a Bauxite body / roof version when I dig out the photos.

Hell yes, to both!

Now, about this kidney transfer, I'd feel guilty calling in the debt, so may accept a few packs of SQ sausages in lieu.

[Gabhal Luimnigh]

Arrived home to a parcel from Leslie, I'm delighted with my two beauties.

Sounds like two votes of confidence in @Patrick Davey's thread:

Thanks, Denis, seeing this, that's all three parcels safely arrived - posted in Blackrock Post Office last Friday just at closing time. So lay off the nasty comments about An Post for a while!

Never let me down either. Postman goes out of his way to deliver stuff for me. Will even make the trek to the garage to find me, if he hears me pottering around out there. Mine arrived Tuesday morning( after Bank Holiday), after being posted Friday.  And the wagons are amazing Leslie. I know I have said it already on here, but you can never say it enough

I just leave the key in the door, if it's a parcel he just leaves it inside

Anybody know what the melting point for these wagons is?

 

 

[leslie10646]

Hi Dave

VERY unrealistic scene - those wagons NEVER saw a clear blue sky!

Nice pic though.

Glad they've arrived.

Between great sales at Blackrock (thanks everyone), and "spoken for" still to be sent, I'm, down to SIX "Snails" only.
