aclass007 is there a Marks Models Shop somewhere near you as there's no sign of any sale on their site !!

[Railer]

Sure is, thanks for that. That would happen after me going and buying 5 Mk2s during the week. Well suppose now is time for some locos I've been putting on the long finger.

It is on their site, it's just not advertised. There is €30 off 201s and €25 off 071 and €10 off all coaches.

I also bought some stock during the week

Hi Lads,

I see somebody has already posted our sale of Irish Railway items. We are overstocked on these items and it is a stock reduction sale which will last until the end of May or until the items sell out, whichever happens first. Do not hang around, because when they are gone they are gone. Herewith link to the website, they are also in the shops. http://www.marksmodels.com/?cid=51

Thanks. Indeed, 071s are very keenly priced

Thanks Railer, didn't see the SMALL PRINT ! Don't know why it's not advertised on their site !!!

[rebelred]

MUST.....NOT.....BUY.....ANY....MORE......LOCO'S, Ahhhhhhhhhh it's too tempting!!!!! Dam you on line shopping!!

[Railer]

It's working anyway. 077 has sold out and is now gone for good. So much for getting more IE 071s for renumbering and weathering.

 

I had my bank on to me earlier thinking there was fraudulent activity on my card=)) At least they were on the ball.

Thanks for posting aclass, you can't argue with those prices, broke as usual but sorely tempted to get around her indoors to get me 3 of murfs b roof Mk IIs.

[Georgeconna]

woah, Might get a blue 201 then even though I have too many of the bloody things. much better price now.

Ah Jaysus, that's a trip to town tomorrow afternoon to spend money I don't really have, blinded further by the thought that I'm doing my bit for Irish modelling; purchasing MM stock so that the 121s and A Class will go in to production sooner...

I don't think they are open tomorrow, Sunday. Anyone having problems with their CC on the site?

Tried several cards….. (no, I haven't maxed them out at Marks Models)

Forget the above. I'm in the same boat as Railer. Fraud alert in my overseas spending!

Purchase made now

I have a few 077's tucked away somewhere if you are still looking for one

[Riversuir226]

Whoops... eh anyone looking for some mir kitbuilt 201's? Somehow my credit card when t on the net & eh lets put it this way theres more active 201's in my house than there is in the serviceable IE fleet.

Presumably the chip in the card went rogue …….. he-he

[burnthebox]

Anyone on here remember a previous, similar sale in Marks Models, I certainly do not, & I'm talking history, that's probably why I do'nt have a stock of Murphy Models, but thankfully it beat's the s***e outa some of the stuff that's presently on Ebay, let's hope there's more to come,

[Junctionmad]

I succumbed - sigh, SWMBO can eat next month instead

You might think that, I couldn't possibly comment. (Francis Urquhart House of cards)

[108]

I popped in today and was delighted to pick up 220 at €140. It'll be beans on toast for a week or two but worth it.

[richrua]

Good man 108. I had my eye on this for quite a while. Couldnot resist the price in marks. I buy in sterling too and the exchange rate swings in my favour. Almost like i was meant to get it ☺

I too have sinned

 

The prices were too good to resist. I wasn't planning to buy 7078 until later this year . . . but it arrived promptly 24hr after order.

[richrua]

sale seems to be workin! only bother for me is that i cant chip and run mine till tomorrow night as i am away ....

[richrua]

still think 141s would sell like hot cakes if they ever came out again

Ha! So much for CIE B'n'T.......... (but actually I bought her too and she's on the way)

[Noel]

Well the 141/181s were IMHO the best model locos from the MM stable, and there is still undoubted demand, but not as much as there might be for 121s and A class in the short term. The 141/181s might sell better if re-run in two or three years time. All the tooling and design is already in place. Personally I'd prefer if Bachmann were employed by MM for any possible re-run. I don't know what motor drive is in the 141/181s but it seems smoother and quieter than the non-Bachmann 071/201s. I'm happy to wait either way.

I know, I know, but I just could not resist having one. There is something militaristic and utilitarian about that battleship grey livery. My excuse is it is allowed haul RPSI specials with Cravens and a filthy mk1 GSV.

[richrua]

How come the grey 071s didn't sell quicker ? Limited edition and all ?

[UP6936]

The grey models have the grab irons still on them richrua, and some people were unhappy with this inaccuracy. Hence slower sales

[richrua]

Ahhhh. I see. Thanks. Wouldn't really bother me. Probably easy to nip off too. But we do pay a lot I suppose!

[Railer]

I didn't realise that 230 was a limited edition run until I got it. Have to return it tomorrow though as it was delivered with a buffer missing from each end and the buffer mounts damaged.

[richrua]

That's a pity raider. I am sure they'll sort you out.
