  1. Many years ago before IRM even, I travelled from Templemore to Knock on a "Special", cant remember the occasion but there were
    loads of us marched down from the Training Centre
    4 of us had bought some of Tipperary's finest flagons before our adventure and drank them on our journey
    Needless to say we were in no state to march to the Basilica and we missed the service
    Got confined to the centre for a fortnight for our troubles
    Funny thing is I cant remember what coaches we were in or the loco that pulled them 
    Bleedin Bulmers.........

  2. At the recent MRSI 3 Day show in Raheny I ran my 2 J15's on out "Castletown" layout
    When I bought them I ran both in for around 30 mins in each direction 
    I had them professionally chipped and they were put away for the show
    Ran them both on the Saturday, one in each direction for 20 - 30 mins, then rested while I ran a 121 and did some shunting
    On the Sunday at about 2 PM the Black J15 stopped suddenly and gave up the ghost, about an hour later the Grey followed suit
    The instructions stated that DCCing the locos would nullify the warranty so I have given them to a fellow member of the club who 
    has previous convictions for fixing stuff!
    I have been offered any spare parts by Roderick so all is not lost yet
    One thing he said though that I should mention is that the locos are not suitable for very long running
    His gearbox has mostly metal parts and needs to be rested between runnings

    @Wrenneire - Would you seriously want any of that stuff?

    I have all of those Irish sets, in somewhat better condition
    Historically worth picking up from a collectors point of view
    Remember there was no IRM or PMurphy back in the day
