Original Lima CIE Supertrain - Time to say good-bye...

The time has come for me to part with my first ever Irish railway model - the original HO gauge version of the CIE "Supertrain".

Always an excellent runner to this day (better than most Hornby locos from the same era).

I'm converting my last circuit to DCC so it's time to let go of the non DCC part of my collection.

I've posted the set on ebay: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/-/331708079421 and also made a short

to give me something to remember a set which punched above it's weight in my collection until Mr.Murphy started to do his thing.

 

Some photos below for those not familiar with these sets. They were all we had in terms of Irish railway production models in their day.

I also had a particular liking for the Lima couplings. Would prefer them to most of todays.

Actually it's this cover. Also the controller is different. Loco and coaches appear to be the same except that the coaches have metal wheels in your photo versus plastic on the set I am selling.
