snapper

one more for now

Thanks for the heads up, I will pass that on to the person who runs the facebook account to see if anything can be done, as far as I know the idea was to have them visible to everybody, account or not.

Strange you should have been able to view those even without a facebook account.

a few interior carraige pictures for anybody interested

084 is to do the railtour honours

Its possible that the cork pilot may pull the train out to Cobh and the other loco will continue from there, I am not sure what the exact plan is. The train has to go into Limerick to get to Ennis but I don't know if it will a simple run around or a loco swap. As far as I know the set will be stabled in Ennis overnight.

I don't have the exact time to hand but its about 14:30

ECS Rosslare Strand to Waterford via the South Wexford

Arr 11:40 Thursday Dep 10:55 Friday

Most likely yes

Don't be so sure about a blue van, a slightly different plan may be afoot there :tumbsup:More details when a final decision is made

Not likely this side of Christmas, but who knows what could happen in the new year

I believe the plan is for 071 but a 201 may stand in depending on loco availability

Not that I have heard, there was some scrap track stolen at one stage (I think from near Wellington bridge???) and I think that started the rumour of track being lifted.

RPSI Craven 1522 is fitted with a full kitchen

Its running with the RPSI Cravens
