  1. Always wondered when they were going start work on those 2 Mk3s they saved from Waterford. Probably just kept as a fallback option but if the MPV is not as "go anywhere" as you say then it may force their hand.
  2. Weedspray coach too...................... To mark the last year of the train in action.
  3. Weedspray Mk1 too. Its a must now. Then you have the tooling for GSVs too. Plus a maroon RPSI one.
  4. Nah, it's the yellow warning panel that's off.
  5. 079 released to traffic yesterday. Went to Portarlington sidings to stable with spoil wagons already there.
  6. Just looking at the last shot of 079, painted date shows December '17. That's a good few months getting other things done, was she waiting on new refurb bogies. I know 082 spent months on temp bogies during overhaul. To me I always find it odd that the livery application is not left till last after all other work is complete.
  7. Wow, Really love the old Boston sidings and the Inspection car. You really captured the look of the place and surrounding area. Almost surreal, really amazing work. And the Trinity College new Bioscience building still a construction site. I actually worked in fitting out some of those floors haha.
  8. They just need to give 078 some new 7s. When she was brought in last year she got the new larger font numbers replacing the older ones that 076 and 085 carry. Somehow they left her as 0 8.
  9. Only 2 071s are now left in the freight livery with 075 only just gone in in recent days and all cab panels stripped off already. 074 and 086 are the last two in line. 079 and 072 are in the works painted up awaiting final finishing before re entering traffic.
  10. Was just asking because of the Facebook update about buying multiple packs. Dunno bout the Wexford offer myself.
  11. Is the bubble deal only for the Bangor show or online too?
  12. Will be interested to see if the IR or IE vans sell faster. The IR era will always be special to me.
  13. There is a pic on Google of one of these vans in all over brown with dirt. Only the parts that need to be read for numbers are yellow.
  14. Can't wait to see pre production samples. Also some serious weathering to be going on with these, they were in some state like they had a fight with a JCB towards the end.
  15. Do you have the 4th IC wagon number off hand by chance?
  16. They're up but marked as sold out. Fixed to pre order on refresh
  17. Fantastic photo, I love the A class in the green livery trailing green laminate stock.
  18. HowthJunction footbridge too. Lots of great views from it for overhead detail, you can get full length ways and side on views there.
  19. Same as yourself, never knew they existed till I stumble across that on youtube about 4 years ago. Then I tried find out when they were scrapped and the 62fts took over through IRRS journals. It's amazing what happens when you're looking for something, then stumble across some else and go off researching a different tangent than the first topic you had in mind while forgetting all about in the first place.
  20. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMrBNjMsZ7s Great footage here of a long rake of 4 wheel timbers. You can see at least one wagon had the white ladder like the 62ft timbers.
  21. Nice new entry on the site lads. Sayin nothin
  22. Love the raccoon livery on 231 and 233. Great shots.
  23. Also for sale. Peco N gauge set track started set. The tracks have never been used. €50
  24. Just a further question about the RPSI Cravens and 1509's rocking issue. Does the bogies shim solution work well and any other solutions that modelers have come up with that sort the issues. I was very tempted to pick up another set on the Branchline tour on Saturday but the bogie issue put me off the sale. I've yet to pick up a 1509 for myself yet for the same reason.
  25. Great trip, it was bit cold on the train up to Waterford but after it was grand. Great weather from Limerick Junction onwards. Great day. We got 074 at Waterford instead of 085, 085 was coupled to the CPWs. 086 put on a fantastic show from Turles back to Connolly and made up a good bit of time. The RPSI gave advance warning of the boiler certificate issue in fairness.
