Jarl Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 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... Michael 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louth Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 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. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niles Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Picked up one of each today, lovely pieces, prompting one of my Táilte coconspirators to invest in a set too. Excellent initiative @leslie10646 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslie10646 Posted October 29, 2023 Author Share Posted October 29, 2023 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. Leslie 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dangerous Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 10 hours ago, Sean said: 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslie10646 Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 Sean, thanks for posting the piccie. I agree with "DJ" the layout looks great and the vans look at home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD220 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 15 hours ago, leslie10646 said: 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.

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.
