WRENNEIRE Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Funny old hobby this A couple of weeks ago I have never heard nor seen a Hornby "C.I.E. Superfreight set" Now I have a second! Different guy to the one I got the first one from Both sets bought in Bray I see there is a "Bests" price tag on this set £19.95 in old money! Anyone know anything about the shop? Its a 1977 issue set so that will be somewhere to start from.
steventrain Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Hi Dave, Good find Irish set, I check 'Bests' on Hornby International service dealer network date November 1976 list but found nothing. I think the 'Bests' is a Toy shop such as Toysmaster and maybe someone brought from UK?
Warbonnet Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Nice one Dave, were there further Irish wagons made to fit in the 'extra storage space' sold separately or were they any generic old wagons?
WRENNEIRE Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Steve, thanks for the input, I think they were a large department store and would have stocked sets for Christmas, so were not recognised as a srockist Fran, the polly insert was generic and as the set only contains 4 wagons the "Extra Storage Space" stickers were placed in the empty slots, The Slainte Express had a similar empty slot as it only contained 2 coaches whereas the similar UK BR version had 3

WRENNEIRE Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Quiet enough Kieran Small event, at most there would be 10 traders and only 3 of them selling railway stuff, 4 if you count Baseboard Dave. A lot of die cast and also books. Small crowd as well, it was a pig of a day weather wise Hopefully they are keeping their loot for the next one!
Kirley Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Thanks for the update, I take it you are not retiring based on the days takings.
Broithe Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 It depends upon how (shy and) retiring one is...

" Yes Dave, you should have also mentioned the sub zero temprature in the building, that may also have had an effect on the numbers,
WRENNEIRE Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Wear a vest, Paul Its mentioned in the little book you get when you retire Some even wear 2 pair of socks! Flash bastards

Flash bastards Dave, I have been looking forward to something more than a little book when I retire, so maybe I'll stay for a bit longer & things might get better,

WRENNEIRE Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 I told you before: WEAR A VEST! Maybe a little bobble hat on your big mutton head as well And dont be wearing your slippers!
Kinvara-Train Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 MAYBE EVEN HEAT think of something hot like the 3 S'S'S'
Broithe Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 I told you before:WEAR A VEST! Maybe a little bobble hat on your big mutton head as well And dont be wearing your slippers! Whenever anybody mentions a 'bobble hat', I find myself remembering the time that the coppers in Derby issued a description of a robbery suspect, but the poor bloke couldn't think of how to best describe the woollen hat that he was wearing - 'beanie hat' would have done, perhaps - but they ended up describing him as "wearing a bobble hat, without a bobble" - I still laugh about it now..!!
Broithe Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 But, is it still a bobble hat if it doesn't have a bobble, m'Lud? That is the crux of our contention that the evidence of identification is flawed.
