WRENNEIRE Posted October 3, 2014 Author Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Been neglecting my job here lately A Jouef HDI set that I had not seen before Made in Ireland can be seen clearly on the box Contents listed in German? Traffic Service, 01 7412 OO Edited November 29, 2017 by WRENNEIRE Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Another Jouef jem 01 7816 00 Made in Irlande!! You couldnt make this up!!! A HDI Guaranteed sticker, I have never seen one like this before Edited December 1, 2017 by WRENNEIRE Quote
Warbonnet Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 The rolling stock looks better than the locos. Were they HDI made too? Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Probably Fran I picked up a large amount of rolling stock that was left in the factory when it closed, A chap that was auctioning all the plant that was left bought them for his son and I picked them up from him. The Coke & Shell wagons were in the lot but the Unicopa was not. They have large holes in the base of the chassis's where it used to say Made in France. Edited November 29, 2017 by WRENNEIRE Quote
Weshty Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 German alright This box contains loco freight wagon curved track batterydevice (Gerat is a great word, equivalent to the hiberno-irish "yolk") (batteries not included) Quote

Noel Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) They should be of great interest to NIR and Enterprise fans. Personally prototype 201's never interested me, but I may buy one of the Intercity grey/green liveried Irish rail 201s (i.e. Mk4/CAF livery). Its a nice livery, but the early orange, yellow and black 201s must have been the ugliest loco liveries ever run in Ireland, second only to the silver of the 1950s C class. There is just something boring about the look of 201s compared to the earlier GMs that had such character. Each on to their own taste. Post 071 class Irish railways and vanilla DMUs hold no interest for this 1960/70s era fan. Mind you I never liked the 'super train' coach livery of the early 70s Mk2's either. It was much improved with the two white bands either side of the black in the IR/IE era, but personally I thought the original black against orange looked awful. My personal wish list for possible MM future stock: 001 Class - Black CIE, B&T CIE Livery (i.e. black roof small orange band under black) 121 CIE/IR livery Park Royal mainline coaches (B&T IE/IR and snail green) Bredin/laminate mainline coaches (B&T CIE and snail green) Stanier lookalikes Open wagons corrigated panels - non braked Mk1 generator van + Dutch Van PS: What a fantastic thread btw. It should be renamed 'History of Irish Model Railways' Edited October 14, 2014 by Noel Quote

Noel Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Thanks for posting those pics. The Enterprise livery looks superb. Quote
Railer Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Love the details on the Enterprise locos, 230 with it's iconic white fillets and 233 with it's black cab numbers, the yellow on 233 should be a few shades brighter though. Would have liked the exhausts picked out in silver on the NIR locos though, I'm sure they were not painted blue on delivery. Quote
rebelred Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 I agree with Railer, i pre ordered 233 but there is something not right with it....was the purple more a maroon/wine shade on 233 or am i dreaming??? I'm hoping it's just the light but 230 looks way better, what do ye think lads- or is it just me???? Quote

Glenderg Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Needs a bit more red in it all right. Bit of dirt will hide it Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Did 208/209 not carry name plates in the blue livery? Quote
Riversuir226 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 208 carried two english nameplates & 209 has never carried any plates. Quote

WRENNEIRE Posted October 18, 2014 Author Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) TOM Just found the M.I.R. 2010 pricelist you asked about before. I see he advertised some Murphy bits back then, I never realised he sold them. Edited November 30, 2017 by WRENNEIRE Quote
