roxyguy Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Jays, all the British HO tooling must have been chucked so. I wonder is there anyone modelling British outline in HO? Some of the plank wagons are tiny. You could nearly repurpose them as narrow gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRENNEIRE Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 Some RPSI coaches that seemed to have slipped through the net 1701, coach # 180 1702, coach # 301 1703, coach # 460 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbonnet Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Was going through some old magazines and came across this in the March 1976 edition of 'Model Railway Constructor'. It is Lima's proposed A Class model, which looks a lot more A class than what was eventually released. It seems to be a hand built body at least, any idea of its origins, Dave? HO scale too...

WRENNEIRE Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 Its a strange one Fran, Lima entered the British market in 73, and by 77 they had moved from HO to OO HO sets with the Class33/A Class were in the shops late 76 early 77 so I am at a loss as to the history of this model.

WRENNEIRE Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) The loneliness of the long distance train collector I was at the Enniskillen show yesterday and a chap picked up a boxed Lima/MM mk 2 coach Took it out of its box and turned it around No second stripe on the reverse side, pal was not impressed, thought I was trying to fob him off with a dud. I have this coach at shows for the last 12 months or more and never checked it out It now sits in pride of place ( or will when I can open the press) in the collection These are the little gems that keep us collectors happy!!!

It has a couple of odd features though Made in Irelande, my other sets have Made in Ireland Guaranteed Irish sticker, who remembers the Guaranteed Irish programme in the late 70's Also has HDI on the sticker, never saw this before Contents are listed in English, other sets have them listed in French/German Instructions for Traffo in French Back to bed now I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRENNEIRE Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 Under the "If I tell you I will have to kill you " rule I cannot answer that Fran But there are now 2 new Lima Cadet wagons with picture box's , rather than the numbered box's in the collection! Couldnt be arsed taking them out of the cabinet so hopefully this pic will show the difference Still looking for a third numbered box if any of you collector types have one lying around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murrayec Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Guaranteed Irish sticker, who remembers the Guaranteed Irish programme in the late 70's I had a Fiat back in the 70's that was 'Guaranteed Irish' all the way from Grand Canal Street! does that count?....

Sounds like the regular clientel in Sack's Nightclub (or Barry's if you were slumming it). Ah the old Fiat 127, much cooler looking than the 128. Congrats on the Joeuf Wrenner, though if Santa gave me that back in the day, I'd have taken a contract out on him.

roxyguy Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 For my sins I've had a few Eye-talian cars. I had a Fiat that burst into flames. I was grand and warm waiting for help.

Noel Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Probably need one of these as well Hi Dave. Beautifully built and finished maroon GSV, but that's the GSV layout of RPSI B&T 3185 (BSK) rather than their maroon 3173. Does anybody have side on photos of both sides 3173? Thinking of bodging one from a Bachmann BCK RPSI 3173 (BCK) Bachmann BR Mk1 BCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
