The Ballina branch train being hauled by on loan NIR loco 112 and GSV 3189 Cravens coaches 1523 and 1529-an exact replica of the train which I was fortunate to have worked just over 11 years ago .

 

Excellent stuff Noel

 

Not many can do and say that....

Ohh that is just brilliant. A little bit of weathering aand shadowing on that crane and it could look like a photo out of the Times!

 

Agree absolutely classic. :tumbsup: Had the guys off loaded the ballast load first, they might have been able to hire a smaller crane, and save a few bob towards project no 4 :)

 

Love the detail of the foreman looking under the wagon

A short video of loco 175 hauling the IRM ballast hoppers on a loaded trial run...

 

Hi Noel. FYI, That Facebook link doesn't work "content is not available right now". It may be limited to "friends" only rather than public. Noel

Enjoyed your video and the preamble which leads me to the question Noel, are all wagons marshalled so the discharge wheels are on the same side?

 

Some rakes were marshalled with half pointing right, half pointing left. Other rakes were all pointed in the same direction.
