burnthebox Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 just came across this http://irishmodeltrains.webs.com wow , thats a lot of stock , is this person on IRM ? You've either been sneaking a peek at Dave's, wrenneire, or Noel's, River Shannon's attic's, but even so I do think I seen that site before, like a couple of 3 years ago, & not just on this site ! I also believe the owner is living on this Island ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junctionmad Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 The main reason I was asking , is whats the point of such vast amounts of stock. I mean it will never for on any layout, and so collectors ( I apologise as I dont understand that mentality ) just want large volume of stuff as opposed to " one of everything " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbonnet Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 The main reason I was asking ' date=' is whats the point of such vast amounts of stock.

The hobby offers different things for everyone. And while you may not understand that facet you'd be well served to understand that this hobby is a broad church.

He can have all the stock he likes, all the websites he likes and if that makes him happy then that's fine. However, his conduct on here towards other members and possessing multiple accounts for trolling purposes means that he is not welcome here. Simple as that.

Noel Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 He must be bored of registering as a different user, getting caught, and banned. The mysterious 'user' from the past must have been an issue before I joined the forum last year. Not sure I understand, and by the sounds of it don't need to understand water already under the bridge. IMHO, this forum is well managed and the moderation policy is spot on.
