A long time ago, in a living room far far away... there was a boy named TheHighwayStar who received an Irish Railway train set (#00651) for his birthday. He was overjoyed, and to this still has this train today (albeit in much lesser condition–notably a tender coupler that was once Gorilla-Glued back on in panic!) He has but the loco and coaches today...

Well, that's enough of the third-person referral... in all the back-research I've been doing about this set, I haven't been able to pin down any manufacturing information aside from the product number. Could someone shine some light on this (what I presume is) limited-edition set?

You may have to change your scale to OO (assuming you model in HO). There are a limited number of listings in the U.K. for Irish Railway stock. I think I would purchase a copy of Railway Modeller magazine and check out the ads. E. Hatton's is an excellent source of European model trains (they willingly ship to the States). Good luck.
