The set you have there is of various mainland European prototypes - the carriages bear German lettering and logos. Nothing like any of these ever ran here. Not sure where you'd get spares but if you're anywhere near Mount Temple School in Dublin next weekend, some of the stalls there might have spares bits'n'pieces?

Were they not made by Lima, though? The one in orange and black featured a British locomotive and (I think) French types of carriages - though obviously re-liveried to look Irish…. That model must be 30/40 years old?

There can be a positive result from such adversity, it can cause the victims to strive harder for perfection, particularly in sporting activities. I expect that they progressed further into some cups than they might have otherwise. Edited October 19 by Broithe 3
