Jawfin Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Nice pics - 2977, same as 2978, is owned by Án Post and is stored in Inchicore - the RPSI had 2119 but cut it up, not sure when Quite sure those 2 are the only ones left, not including full brakes etc. - any corrections on that?

Horsetan Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Nice pics - 2977, same as 2978, is owned by Án Post and is stored in Inchicore - the RPSI had 2119 but cut it up, not sure when Quite sure those 2 are the only ones left, not including full brakes etc. - any corrections on that? 2977 is I think the only one left with most of its fittings still present. 2978 doesn't have the original internals anymore, although the exterior is much as it was.
