[ATTACH]7064[/ATTACH] Noel, did it go on to the Crossmolina siding? I've never seen a loco at the Belmullet road end of the siding, only at the station end. You can sometimes get a wee glimpse through the fence at the end of the stub, and I've only ever seen wagons at that end. If you have any photos from down that end, it's be great to see them!

I'll have a look for that photo of 218 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aclass007 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Thanks to your tip off, I got to see 071 (or whatever it's called now ) on Friday. The new livery does look better in the flesh. Did they park it there along the platform specifically to show it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenderg Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Wow, what a photo. That falls into the "these are small, those are far away" category. It could honestly pass as a snap of a diorama. R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttc0169 Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Great pic Noel. Is that working to Waterford on Wednesday? Yes Sean-at the moment 071 will work the laden timber train to Waterford,so get your camera out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
