Hi Tony. FYI locos merely listed at 175 on fleebay does not mean they are necessarily selling for that price. I bought most of mine on fleebay for between £85 and £105. Is your loco 141 or 141A (ie the preserved one without the tablet catchers)? 141A retailed in Marks for about €135 new a few years ago. These are quite rare nowadays so a nice opportunity for somebody to get a ubiquitous 141 especially in their best looking prototypical livery - Black'n'Tan'. Cheers. Noel

Noel, I understand - mine is 141 - I presume the tablet catchers are the mouldings in an un-opened polythene bag inside the box?

Of course, eBay is a shit comparison but I'm not looking £175

Are blind auctions allowed on the forum? When is the deadline for highest offer or open indefinitely until the price wanted is achieved?

Just to quote the guidelines

Quote

  • Each item must have an asking price (obviously offers can be made lower)
  • If collection is available state where it can be collected from
  • Ideally offers, acceptances etc should should be made 'on thread' and not via PMs as at least then everyone then knows whats sold or not

If there are no tablet catchers actually on the cab sides then she is 141A (ie the loco Murphy Models bought and donated to RPSI) and the model depicts the preserved 141.

Sorry, Noel - are the tablet catchers the sprung plastic parts of the cab sides - listed in the instruction leaflet as Part No. 13.

If so, they are fitted, yes.

I'll settle for highest price posted by 10pm tonight or first person to offer £150.  Nothing hidden - all visible.

Postage £5 Ireland/England

The loco is absolutely as new - it has been run around a loop twice and put back in box. I don't think it is DCC ready.

I am no Brit, by the way - I live in Tyrone - and we've won many an 'All Ireland".

I will close sale at 160Euro if you really want them.

FYI, All MM locos are DCC ready with a 21pin decoder socket on the main PCB, and MM0141 also has a speaker cradle ready to install a standard 20x40mm unhoused speaker. I'm no Cork man by the way, my family originated in Kerry. :) :)

GNRi1959, offer accepted 160 euro

and Jason,

thoughts on North Korea,  ah do you mean Athy, i live near there, fairly rough place, Piettets aka dunnes family stores blocked the bypass years ago, and no regular service from lovely pretty station runs to Dublin as promised, so load of dublin folks bought houses and are now Koread from their families in dublin.

Trump's Border Wall?  thats a sand dune in FAIR Clare, I met donald trump, he's into models as well, we walked the beach in dunbeg, he told me about his dream of an Atlantic alliance to protect the Atlantic ocean, Us, Him, Brazil, Cuba, the French, The queen, Canada and County africa all around a round table the shape of the Atlantic, protecting its wildlife, it resources, keeping it radioactive free, great guy, ...hes especially into coal, as modellers in US, havnt seen much coal wagons, and he biggly loves them, so he started the mining industry just so we could have more coal wagons on our layouts.
