Thanks Dave for displaying these, you must be searching the basement of Bracken Towers to unearth them.

[WRENNEIRE]

Quite the opposite Kieran

When I picked them up I took pictures but cannot for the life of me find half of them

When I moved on my Wrenn collection recently I pulled the house apart and have not gotten it back into any sort of order yet

I start to sort it out, then find a loco in a box with a few bits missing, start to look for some parts, find something else that I had forgotten about and next thing its time to peel the spuds and I have got nothing done

This retirement gig is hard work men.

[jhb171achill]

Couldn't agree more, Wrenn. I've no time these days to be even retired!

[WRENNEIRE]

Roger that JBH

Another foible I have is that no matter where I am going in the car I always seem to end up on my old route to Malahide, then I remember where I am off to

Sad really, but Mala Mala is a lovely spot.......

[Mike 84C]

Where do the days go? Shopping, cleaning,doing the tates, now I'm a kept man! Just keep in mind that theres no time off for good behaviour when you retire.

A tad off topic but I picked this little R4 up in Germany during the week

Left hand drive HO and I would be a little worried about the decals but it is what it is

Company called Brekina makes them

I recall some time back someone here mentioned they would like to see a 7mm 800 class

Think these might brighten your day

An Post did have R4's in green briefly. Logo seems to be a bit smaller in reality.

 

[Warbonnet]

I remember them in Telecom Eireann livery too. That would make for a nice model. Think both should have the later grill but that's really nitpicking.

[Weshty]

Cough! Mine can be adjusted if need be for HO (and will look at TE as well)

 

Great to see a Renault 4 available, I was looking for one in vain a few years ago.

 

They are on ebay for c.€15 each

You still see the odd one in everyday use. This one is parked outside the office most days...

Now would that be a HO or 1:43 version?

Some more Lima O Gauge bits

 

 

This loco has been renumbered for some reason

If there is a correctly numbered "628" out there I would be very interested

Don't worry. I think everyone realized that, including the two members above:)

A friend asked about some of the Bachmann 57' CIE Coaches

I went to my stash and found a couple that I had not cataloged back in '12

Basically Bachmann had produced these coaches as LMS 57' and they owned the moulds etc

Murphy had them painted into CIE colours and given them a range of running numbers

Bachmann USA then had them produced into their 00651 Irish Railway set, N class loco & 3 57' coaches

I think it caused a bit of hassle at the time but nothing he could do about it

They also produced 2 additional coaches to enhance the set,74700 , 3rd class coach 1337 & 74701 a Brake 3rd 1088

Premium HO Scale but are in fact OO scale.

 

74700

 

 

74701

 

 

00651

The coaches in this set are:

3rd/Brake  1096

All 3rd  1333

1st/3rd 2097

So with the 5 that MM produced through Bachmann this makes a total of 10 of these fine coaches.

Hi Dave, always loved this thread. Thanks.

 

I picked up one of those sets a few years ago for 150beans. I thought that was pretty good.

[Old Blarney]

I have two of these sets, their cost, £45.00 each. Admittedly, this they were purchased about ten years ago? One of the Locomotives is on my home railway as I type this post and is used to pull a thirty wagon Goods Train. Alternatively, it has eight to ten passenger coaches behind her.
