2600 class livery variants and more
Railer replied to Niles's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
Yes and the Executive Commuter which I have never heard called that before, is the same but with the cab face wrap around chevron. I think only 3 or 4 units got that variation. 2611 and 2613/14 being 3 that I know of. -
It was when the 2700s were pushed into regular service on the Connolly to Rosslare route as the 071+Mk2Ds were being phased out when alot of the 2700 problems were brought to the fore front. One 6 car formation even split when in service. The 2800s were a big improvement on this route and really showed how unsuited the 2700s were. There were times when the 2800 fleet were producing 100% fleet availability with all 20 cars in service for weeks on end while working Northern commuter, Maynooth and Rosslare services out of Dublin with no issues. The polar opposite of the 2700s.

Just an update on this topic. The last 3 sets of 2700s were removed from Cork shed on Tuesday for their final trip to Inchicore for scrapping. Freshly painted 083 did the honors fitted with a Dellner coupling adaptor.
-
Just spotted 8101/8301 outside the south end of Fairvew depot this afternoon with all of its doors removed. Looked like it was going for a repaint like some of the other sets have recently got.
-
I would have liken one of the 8100s repainted in the 1984 livery complete with CIE roundel last year but that wasn't to be. There was one set running around in the 90s with the Dublin Bus livery I think it was. I really liked that one with the richer shade of green.

Cawods Pack C sold. Cawoods Packs A and D remain along with DRS packs N,O and P.
-
Cawoods Pack B is now sold.
-
Pics added and asking price now 100 per pack.
-
That could have been the remainder of what was in Connolly at the time when there was a FO Sligo 11 coach formation (9+2 GSV) that was split. Not ideal but at the time they pressed with what was on hand.
-
I think you misread my post regarding in active as apposed to inactive. To me all or most of the 071s are very active considering the limited duties available. 071s assigned to the liners appear to be swapped out very regularly in my observations as of late.
-
Is this project still going ahead are still blue sky kite flying at this stage. I did read an article late last year stating that Irish Rail are basically donating an 071 to this project but they still all appear to be in active use lately despite no more tara trains operating.
-
Just noting the interesting external handbrake cover on the wheel. I take it these now have a different system than the new electronic one fitted to the 071s. Is there any truth the the NIR 111s can no longer be used to haul or move the RPSI Mk2s are strictly restricted to wagon moves only now?
-
Was it out for driver training/ route refresher or post overhaul test? The 111s don't get out much nor is there much use for them anymore.
-
This is set now listed as sold pending collection.
-
Packs B, C and D are still in the vacumm sealed bags around the boxes so they were never opened. I only opened pack A for visual inspection. I also have DRS packs N, O and P. Pack N is the Low Level Nuclear Containers. Only opened for inspection. Pack O is with Low Level Nuclear Containers. Pack is factory vaccum sealed. Pack P are DRS empty barrier wagons. Pack is factory vaccum sealed.

I'm selling my Accurascale Cawoods PFA wagon packs. I have Cawoods Packs A,B,C and D from the very first run. Selling for €120 each. Pictures upon request, I may have one or two more pack to post up here once I locate them.
-
It was 2 liners, 1 was loaded LX which would be the empties to be unloaded coupled to 088 while nex to it was the CPW rake also loaded. Beside that were the empty CPW spares and stored CPWs.
-
I'm sell the IRM triple wagon pack consisting of wagons 30190, 30186 and 30187 along with a Silver Fox Weedspray Mk1 GSV. These are boxed and never ran and I'd rather sell as one complete bundle at €400. Postage at buyers expense.
-
It was very buy in Northwall yesterday evening as I was passing by at 17:30. All available roads were occupied with 088 right up against the gates. Next to no room to shunt with 2 loaded liners and spare pocket and LX wagons present.
-
MM 201 and 7078 sold.
-
I have a boxed and never ran MM 201 River Shannon in IE yellow face livery and MM 078 in the latest battleship grey livery that I'm willing to part with.
-
Yeah, just relisted. Last one was up for 2 days but there was no views on it. Think its my phone app listing that are not working.
-
I can't find it myself unless I go to my profile listings. No idea what I'm doing wrong but the time is going down on the auction.
-
I've put one up myself just to see and test the waters but I must be missing a trick with ebay as I can't find it on any searches.
