WRENNEIRE Posted March 17, 2019 Author Posted March 17, 2019 Was away for some R&R with Granny Bracken and got home late last night I had picked up a big collection of Irish, English and German outline stuff before I went on holliers While sorting through it this afternoon I came across 2 unusual Lima boxed coaches They had been overlabelled, which I have never seen before So although the boxes are not the best I have ever seen, their rarity will insure they get a place in the collection 2 Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted April 4, 2019 Author Posted April 4, 2019 Picked this up this evening, Kelly is slowing up, nearly 8 weeks! Couple of bits needed to finish her off which are taking longer than the build. 3 Little Ducks: 8 1 Quote

Do any of the variants have the red painted panel with the white lettering like the pic below? (Photo unknown origin, any copyright acknowledged).

burnthebox Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 I'm afraid it's back to Specsavers or even school for you my lad, as the first Ivory on your list 25178 is wrong !! Should read 25127, just saying like... Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted June 13, 2019 Author Posted June 13, 2019 Set G: 25064, 25136 & 25178 according to my box, There was no 25127 in this release, just saying like, Big numbers for you ye blind jampot Quote
Railer Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) The wagon shows 25127 on both sides Dave. 25178 was part of pack D. I pointed this error out to the lads before release on here but looks like the box was never corrected. Edited June 13, 2019 by Railer 1 Quote
Warbonnet Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Yes, we updated the wagon but our update on the label was never carried out in China. As a son of a printer my father will be appalled! 1 2 Quote

WRENNEIRE Posted June 19, 2019 Author Posted June 19, 2019 Not a detective among you! As I said not the best box in the world but who else has one? Comparison of the 2 sets 2 Quote
DiveController Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Sorry, I was looking at IRM wagons and freight sneaked in there. Close enough to get you to show your wares though! lovely little thing in N really. Edited June 19, 2019 by DiveController 1 Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted August 23, 2019 Author Posted August 23, 2019 Picked up some bits at Bray on Sunday, this unmade Q Kit A Class was included In the box this little note which I found very interesting Signed by Mike Cole, Mr Q Kits! His original kits came with Mabuchi motors but he now is advising the fitting of Lima powered chassis's which I presume he was getting directly from Lima? 2 Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted November 28, 2019 Author Posted November 28, 2019 Picked up this loco over the weekend It had its instructions which proved to be of interest to me Model is R768, Diesel Loco Instructions show the usual info, R768 and then 16 11 76 which show it was made in November 76, a few years before I was led to believe they were made So the Hymek predates the Lima 33? 1 Quote

DiveController Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) I think you'd want the lights to the rear but not in the direction of travel where the front plough is coupled to the loco. All seems correct unless i'm missing something? Not sure why it's posted here, maybe plough thread would be better? Edited December 8, 2019 by DiveController Quote
