WRENNEIRE Posted January 7, 2013 Author Posted January 7, 2013 Just shows you how luck we are today to have main supplers like Murphy Models along with SSM and many other smaller but excellent providers of Irish Models K Probably because the Murphy or SSM stuff can be bought cheaper than some of these older LIMA pieces!

RedRich Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I still believe that they set the bar Dave. Even when compared to recent releases. I think this was a time when the hobby really began to take off for Irish modelling. Although I haven't got any but I love the Black and Tan livery on the models. Rich, Quote
Kirley Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 A great leap forward not only for Irish models but a new standard set in the modeling world - well done Mr Murphy, it's quite an achievement. Quote
Weshty Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 It's like being 10 years of age in Noonan's Toystore in Charleville all over again looking at those Lima catalogues. Good vibes man. Still great to see the 141's posted up. They really really set the bar. 1 Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) January 08 saw the next issue of the Baby GM's 143 156 181 & 188 Again 500 of each produced Edited November 25, 2017 by WRENNEIRE Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 Thanks Dave, keep it going Thanks Dave, thats all I get? I have had to take these models out of their boxes for you people, even had to tear the protective paper off some of them. Gimme a break............. Quote
Glenderg Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Thank you Dave for taking a model out it's box. We all know how difficult that can be. Even moreso since you keep telling me you're an elderly pensioner now. And the photograph, all the effort getting out you Box Brownie, and developing the film. We are deeply indebted to your efforts. I can't type anymore, the tears cloud my vision... /sarcasm off. 1 Quote
Kirley Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 We all know how much you enjoy it and with only another 6 years to go with Murphy's would you consider doing a run on the MIR range? Lots more boxes to open! Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 Most of my MIR kits are still selotaped in, taking off the protective paper was bad enough but now you wanyt me to cut the tape Dont think I could handle that K Quote
Broithe Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 You could always use the excuse of not being allowed anything sharp. Quote

WRENNEIRE Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) September of 2008 saw the next issue from the MM stables MM1704, pack of Murphy Brother Coal Wagons # 14, 19 & 22 504 Packs issued Edited November 25, 2017 by WRENNEIRE Quote
Kirley Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Thanks Dave, it always surprised me that this was MM’s only venture into freight. Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 K He did an earlier run of these back in May 2001 Marketed under the "Coal Trader" brand by Bachmann Running numbers were 29,32, & 33 Main reason with freight is that its a tiny return per item and a huge run is needed to recoup the initial cost Quote
Kirley Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Went back to your post #62 (July 2012) showing the Bachmann ‘Coal Traders Classics’, did not pickup on that it was marketed as a “Bachmann model”. With only 300 issued I suppose it must now be quite rare set ? Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted March 5, 2013 Author Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Last couple on flea bay made over €120 each, the whole Coal Trader series seem to make a premium Edited December 6, 2017 by WRENNEIRE Quote
Glenderg Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Dave, Was the CIE Sundries Van just a weird LIMA model, and do you have one? The yella thing? Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted March 8, 2013 Author Posted March 8, 2013 Have one in O Gauge & N Gauge I have recently found a pic of the HO one Go to the end of the page: The things I do for you Richie If only you would return the compliment....... http://mmiwakoh.de/Eigene%20Webs/lima-modellbahn/GB3%20en.htm Quote
Glenderg Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 The things I do for you Richie Eat me biscuits, drink me tea, ask me to turn sow's ars3s into silk purses? If only you would return the compliment....... Hope the kettle is workin up there in Raheny then , will be up to test its output shortly. Back on topic - There is a crappy branded LIMA CIE yellow sundries van that you don't have in 00? with/out a box (Lads, up to the attic and see if ye have a double bogied yellow van about 8 inches long with a CIE roundel on it, ye might be in for a windfall.) Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted March 8, 2013 Author Posted March 8, 2013 Its a HO wagon Richie Dont have one, would love one Does luke warm, left over from Christmas lemonade, count as tea? Kettle in D5 works fine, no ashtrays though Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) It was January of 09 before the next 4 Baby GM's were released: MM0142, MM0161, MM0182 & MM0190 The usual issue of 504 of each Edited November 25, 2017 by WRENNEIRE Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 Sorry Steve Posted in wrong section Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) In Feb '11 Marks Models commissioned this baby. MM171 The usual production of 504 was made This was followed 2 years later by the 141A Model with the MM nameplate 500 produced Edited November 25, 2017 by WRENNEIRE Quote
BosKonay Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Lovely Dave Always wondered why the box said 8 dcc Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 Just wondering where to go now troops? The Cravens , Mk 11's 201'S & 071'S are the next issues but they are still available in some outlets and so should I go through them first or start doing some of the older Lima/Hornby/jouef stuff from the mid 70' on ? Answers on a postcard.................... Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Could you please continue on from the 141/181's as I think it would be better than jumping back in time. Cravens and Mk2's next please as it would be a nice seen the next release of Mk2's is due shortly Quote
Tarabuses Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Could you please continue on from the 141/181's as I think it would be better than jumping back in time. Cravens and Mk2's next please as it would be a nice seen the next release of Mk2's is due shortly Yes, that would seem to be the best option. Quote
