Although presumably not quite that if something Irish should happen to rumble along.

If everyone committed to buying 2x of the Irish loco we could probably do it for a similar price…

While I'd buy three 0 gauge 800s, the easiest way to promote 2x purchase is probably something like a 141 or 121

So, for each of us that isn't going to buy two O gauge Irish diesels, @DJ Dangerous will have to add two to his order? There will be a whole container heading to the Canaries at this rate!

A container of life-ruining, bankrupting, homelessness-inducing pure joy.

Once it’s something juicy like an 071, an A Class or even a 121, I’m in for a handful or two.

121’s would almost demand to be purchased in pairs, and they’re so tiny that you could easily fit six on a shelf.

141 / 181 or a C Class would inspire slightly less joy, but still joy nonetheless.

The ship can stop off on the way north to cut down delivery costs.

I don't really see a problem here.

And he needn't worry about being homeless - he'll have a container to live in! I seem to recall he's even got a convenient place to park it near the beach.

Amazing seeing the demand for O Gauge when the pricing is so good.

Class 121, 122, 149 and 150 railcars went on sale on Thursday, and sold out the same day.

In-stock went from 91 lines on Thursday to 60 a day later.

That’s a serious amount of O Gauge out there.

Saw somebody share this video of a Heljan Class 117 railcar on YT the other day:
