    Did the blue and cream GNR coaches see any action on the Cork mainline or did they stay working their old haunts?
  2. murphaph
    Can someone explain to a clueless individual how the GNR coaches ended up in three liveries? Just a delay in repainting them after CIE got their share or is 135 UTA property or something? Trying to learn a bit more about this period of our railways

    Very nice man to deal with. Order placed!

    The yellow stripes on the sides look very American, although they are vertically applied in the US. Or are the faded side vehicle warning stickers too?

    Cheers John, I've just sent Jim an email there.

    Ok chaps, thanks for the warning. I will order it without delay from Markle so! Leslie, I'm in Germany, so I think that's my best option

    Any idea of current stock levels on Vol 1 Noel? I ask because I definitely want a copy, but was hoping to wait until all 3 volumes are available to save on postage, but I also don't want to miss out by waiting

    The railcar is the business. Looks almost German with the three light Spitzensignal.

    Anyone able to identify the logos on these wagons? The left hand wagon looks like it has the lower half of a badly painted Chevron logo on the end of the barrel but I doubt that's it. What's that under the grime on the right hand wagon? Almost looks like a train hauled by a cab first 121.

    Those Burmah ones look great.

    I always thought they looked pretty ugly because of the buffer beam, full size buffers and coupler. Just looks weird on an otherwise sleek DVT IMO as we are used to concealed Dellner couplers and whatnot these days. The windscreen always looked off too and now I know why lol.

    Isn't the Class 232 the Ludmilla? Is this one not a Taiga Trommel? (looks similar anyway)

    I ended up ordering it direct from them as I couldn't find it elsewhere. Arrived without customs looking at it. If you are ordering it from them there's a magazine available called Traction Transition that covers GM diesels in the UK and Ireland. Worth the fiver if you are paying the post anyway imo.

    Sleep well Ballyercall!

    Before the refuelling facilities were added in Heuston, how often would a loco need to visit Inchicore for refuelling roughly? Daily? After every turn?
  16. murphaph
    Where was that @bufferstop?
  17. murphaph
    She did add some more at one stage but nothing new as far as I can tell for some time now. If she had any more it would be ace.

    Yeah I keep going back to this particular collection. Fair play to Pauline for taking the less obvious shots.

    Very nice job. Looks the biz.

    I wonder if it would be worthwhile the big UK manufacturers getting together to discuss providing free Kadees with every new model released from now on to try to finally help banish the TLC from the face of the earth. Other industries see competitors work together to develop new, better standards that the whole industry then abides by. TLCs should have been retired decades ago already. Awful things.

    Nice! Thx.

    Hi Noel, no I mean the Metrovick 201s, the C Class that Mayner referred to in the post above, the ones that were transplanted into the push pull 121s. They were presumably 8 cylinder 567 or 645 types. Be interesting to know which (different sound files). Cheers John, we cross posted but I see your answer. Much appreciated.
  23. murphaph
    Cheers @warb, and the location if you know it?
  24. murphaph
    Any idea where this was taken?
  25. murphaph
    Were the 201 engines of the 645 type?
