IANG Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Wow is it really worth that ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw somebody selling 111, 8112 and 113 as a set for around €1200 EURO the other day. Not "worth" it for me, that's like over a month's wages, but to somebody it may very well be!

WRENNEIRE Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 This is the jinnet that had the coach pack for £395 but has now reduced it to £297 after I told him it will struggle to make £250 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnthebox Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) So here goes another, & I don’t think this is the actual loco..no 111 that runs up North, I could be wrong .

DiveController Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Thats the MM NIR 071/111 Class No 11 in earlier livery from the 1980s a limited edition of 250 packs that is fairly sought after by modelers of NIR but I suspect that that 112 and 8113 in their later livery has more interest overall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northman Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 The 071/111 can be bought from DCKits for £170 plus postage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

declan64 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I was bidding on eBay for a 071/111 that eventually sold for £250 + P&P so there are people out there willing to pay. I later picked up one from DC Kits for £170 + £15 P&P. A bit steep compared to a regular Irish Rail 071 but at least not in the crazy territory like this one: https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Murphy-Models-Irish-NIR-Blue-Class-071-111-Locomotives-MM0111-Great-Northern/143464873871?hash=item21672c3f8f:g:hy4AAOSwG8ld46hT I'll have 4 x Lima CIE Mk1s unboxed for sale early in the new year myself. Maybe this guy will be willing to do an exchange for his 111? They're of roughly equivalent value by these standards..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edo Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) sweet jesus - 350 sterling for a 111...... then again I did the blow the guts of 700 yoyos on 2 J15's this year so I won't be throwing any stones...... there must be a market for these models at these prices .......or is that the same one thats been sitting there all year? the lesson would appear to be to get in when the model is in the retailers after launch..............its a small market that would appear to be getting bigger in some aspects which should be great news for manufacturers - if a little frustrating for those of us trying to pick up past models at vaguely "standing in front of the missus and being within an asses roar of justifying this purchase" prices................ I would love to get my hands on MM 141 in B&T or Supertrain - but they are as available as hens teeth at the moment and when they are its hard to justify the inflation from original RRP.....then again - after this years splurge - I'm a happy meal away from bankruptcy so there will be little to no "train" purchasing next year ( the As and 121s already squared away financially). In a way this price inflation will hopefully encourage the production of more runs of models......we could have it worse!

Hattons have one in every six or nine months. I picked one up for GBP £98 in like-new condition a few months back. I see the scalpers (that's what the Hot Wheels collectors call them, at least) asking for twice that on eBay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats interesting..thanks for that I haven't really looked very hard in fairness - maybe with the A's and 121s coming on stream this year - some folks with "excess" stocks might be tempted to cash some in for re -investment purposes.............maybe!
