[WRENNEIRE]

Hope to be there for the weekend on the Chris Dyer stand

Pop over and say hello, and maybe grab a bargain

Part exchange is encouraged so if you have any bits you wish to trade bring them along and PX them for something you want!

[201bhoy]

What make are the mk3s just wondering?

[WRENNEIRE]

What make are the mk3s just wondering?

 

Lima repainted stock as far as I am aware

[201bhoy]

Wren if you are able to could you put up pictures of the mk3s?

[WRENNEIRE]

They are in Chris's stock I'm afraid

I do have them myself from time to time

 

 

This is a Supertraim liveried one.

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

I know those coaches Dave. Why is it every time I paint something for you its ends up in your collection instead of you selling it.

 

They do look sweet:o

[201bhoy]

Thanks for uploading the photos. Are there other ones like a restaurant carriage or 1st and 2nd class non-push-pull ones? That's some nice work Anto!

[Kirley]

Just back from the Bangor Show.

Well attended with lots of Suppliers and Traders. It was good to meet members from this side including some "Moderators"

The star of the show was on The Model Shop, Belfast stand with a 071 in a glass case.

 

Sorry about the poor quality of the photographs.

 

The best layout for me was Loughrea by MRSI

 

This was the first time I had seen it and was very impressed.

[BosKonay]

Niiice!

 

Get any more photos?

[BosKonay]

That looks to be an 071 prototype not seen before too? Has the brass detailing and is in the black plastic?

[201bhoy]

Have to say I thought Carlow n guage layout was the best! I was trying not to buy anything but I couldn't resist buying a weathered 177 from Wrenniere....

[RedRich]

Niiice!

 

Get any more photos?

 

My sentiments exactly Stephen. That pre production model looks far more advanced when compared to the other models that were on show in Wexford. The bonnet side grille looks tasty, and so do the tablet catchers.

He lured you into his spiders web then.

No, I took lots of Loughrea because I was so impressed with it. I'm sure there will be other photographs of the pre -production 071 by others to come later.

[RedRich]

Loughrea seems to have had some cosmetic work done since I last set eyes on it , and it looks all the better for it. Any more pics of layouts Kirley please.

That 21mm track looks nice when you see it up close.

Rich,

 

I know! I probably was initially going to get some mk3s but he didn't have any in IE livery left.

Rich,

 

As requested Rich -more of Loughrea -feast your eyes!

[Broithe]

[RedRich]

Thanks for uploading the pics Kirley, you're a star.

[Garfield]

Anto needs to get at them cows!! A bit too clean...

 

Looks like some of the locals have been indulging in a spot of cow-tipping, too!

[jhb171achill]

I saw that layout a few years ago, alongside Belturbet at the Bangor show. Both are superb layouts, very realistic.

I know I had the same feeling with 220!

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

ROFLROFL You don't want to spoil that perfect beauty... then you just do it anyway.

[Warbonnet]

Tornado is always pristine. Just get a model figure, weather him and stick some pubic hair on his head instead...
