Railer Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 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. Quote

Marks Models Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 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 Quote

rebelred Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 MUST.....NOT.....BUY.....ANY....MORE......LOCO'S, Ahhhhhhhhhh it's too tempting!!!!! Dam you on line shopping!! Quote
Railer Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 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. Quote
Sulzer201 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Marks Models are holding a sale on all MM locos and coaches. Some good discounts to be had! 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. Quote
Georgeconna Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 woah, Might get a blue 201 then even though I have too many of the bloody things. much better price now. Quote
dave182 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 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... Quote
DiveController Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) 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) EDIT: 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. Forget the above. I'm in the same boat as Railer. Fraud alert in my overseas spending! Purchase made now Edited May 10, 2015 by DiveController Update Quote

Riversuir226 Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 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. Quote

burnthebox Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 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, Quote
Junctionmad Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I succumbed - sigh, SWMBO can eat next month instead Quote

108 Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 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. Quote
richrua Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 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 ☺ Quote

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. Quote
richrua Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 sale seems to be workin! only bother for me is that i cant chip and run mine till tomorrow night as i am away .... Quote
richrua Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 still think 141s would sell like hot cakes if they ever came out again Quote

I wasn't planning to buy 7078 until later this year . . . but it arrived promptly 24hr after order. Ha! So much for CIE B'n'T.......... (but actually I bought her too and she's on the way) Quote
Noel Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 still think 141s would sell like hot cakes if they ever came out again 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. Quote
Noel Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Ha! So much for CIE B'n'T.......... (but actually I bought her too and she's on the 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. Quote
richrua Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 How come the grey 071s didn't sell quicker ? Limited edition and all ? Quote
UP6936 Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 The grey models have the grab irons still on them richrua, and some people were unhappy with this inaccuracy. Hence slower sales Quote
richrua Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Ahhhh. I see. Thanks. Wouldn't really bother me. Probably easy to nip off too. But we do pay a lot I suppose! Quote
Railer Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 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. Quote
richrua Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 That's a pity raider. I am sure they'll sort you out. Quote
