David Holman Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Am still convinced the Jinties were clockwork - you can see the keyhole Ok, it is a sandbox filler... while the Agenora kit looks to have a lot more detail. Would cost a lot more though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 An interesting point in relation to this loco. Many times, in 00 gauge, never mind the lesser used 0 gauge, conversations like this take place: "It's a pity they don't make a RTR model of _____" "Well, it wasn't common / wasn't used widely / wasn't on the go in real life all that lonjg, so the market is so limited it wouldn't be worth it" .... There were but two of these things. One only worked a few years. The other only worked a bit more than a decade. Neither, with the exception of a one-off trial run to Carrickfergus, ever did anything on this island other than shunt trucks round Belfast docks - they didn't even pull actual "trains", as such. And yet - here we are; not just a model, but a RTR one; and not just that, but 0 Gauge! And superb it is too. Yes, I know it's just a re-liveried "British" engine - but - food for thought....? (did I mention UTA "Jeeps"?) 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know it's just a re-liveried "British" engine - but - food for thought....? (did I mention UTA "Jeeps"?) I think a high proportion of Irish rtr models are bought by collectors because of their high potential re-sale value, rather than to something to run on a layout. So in a way the numbers used and use becomes irrelevant, customers tend to buy 1 or 2 models of each variation produced. Paddy Murphy once used models selling out and potential re-sale value as a marketing ploy on the Murphy Models website. In a way the NCC/UTA Jinty is a no brainer if you can find a factory that's willing to slot a few "Irish" Jinties into a production run. Bachmann produced a OO gauge version for MM and Marks appear to have commissioned a Railroad version of the Jinty from Marks. What next a Hornby Royal Scot masquerading as an 800 class?
