That begs the question, where did all the orange and black roof EGVs end up that people are having to get Galways resprayed. If anything, standards should be in the shortest of supply due to people naturally buying more of them to make up rakes.
-
Regarding the contrasting doors. The doors on the DARTs are the same they always have been. Even the refurb sets came back the same colour. The doors are the same shade of green as the bottom section of the livery.
-
That is an amazing legacy to have, my he RIP.
-
Considering how fast the orange roof Mk2s vanished better hop on these quick. I see the recently Galway EGV is already is short supply and hard to find in places. Have to get one of them too.
-
Yeah and after all that yellow face lark, the 2008 Enterprise livery comes out and 8208 having more black up front than any 201 before and a small yellow panel. The battleship grey 071s now feature a NIR 111 style yellow panels. That looks far better. All the yellow for nothing than a knee jerk reaction. Even during daylight the main headlights or LED marker lights are far more visible from any distance than an all yellow end.

Thank's Red for the info about the Mk2s. They always seemed a bit off to me and I could never put my finger on it. To me it looked like the sides ran too low to the soul bar. But the windows being too high makes sense to me now. It does throw the shape off compared the Bachmann Mk2A/Bs bottom window level which looks more like the real thing. Suppose at this stage it would cost too much for a new side moulds with the windows lowered.

I don't mind the door colour thing as much as the yellow face fad that started around the end of 2005 and no seems to have ended. At the time I think it was a UK thing rather than the EU safety requirement. Can't say I liked the yellow face on the freight 071s and especially the orange 201s. One of the Enterprise DVTs even ended up with an all yellow face for a short while until the new 2008 livery, awful looking. It was like a per way unit.
-
I do recall mixed Mk2D liveries with IR orange roofs mixed in with the newer IE black roof livery. I was too young to be around to see any Mk2s or Mk3s in supertrain though.
-
Any chance of 230 coming back for this? Didn't look great the day it was hauled back from York Road after the fire investigation. 225 was in a bad way after the level crossing accident, I think work started on it and was then stopped. It would make sense for them to get two 201s for places where there are no run around facilities and not have to rely on IE to provide a loco for shunt releases and the like.

Waterford highlights 2014
Railer replied to Riversuir226's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
They were brought to Inchicore during the summer to be converted for the Per Way Dept and used as part of the weed spray train replacing the Mk1 GSV. They are numbers Buffet 7403 and EGV 7607. -
Just asking the same question as 90% of the peeps here, I don't see any family bickering as you put it, why go after my post? Just odd out of sorts for him me thinks. It's not like Dave to post click bait.
-
Still not diggin ya, there Dave. Great list and all but why the old snap.
-
Have enough tipples and it's almost the new Enterprise livery.
-
Don't think so with the 201 idea. Belmont were looking at buying 2 of the stored 201s but those plans were dropped.
-
The 071 Black and silver livery: Known as the Freight livery and as I've seen some UK fans call it Black Bess livery. The new two tone green livery on the 29ks have been called Green Goddesses, don't know way myself.
-
There were 2 20ft flats in Longford yard up till the start of this year year at least. Don't know if they are still there.

I'd be willing to pay up front for a MM quality RTR: 1) 121 2) A class 3) IE Mk3 EGVs, Buffet, DVT, Mk1 GSV, Dutch Vans and rebuilt Dutch Vans. 4) Tara, bubble cement, hopper ballast, bogie timber wagons.
-
Great job on 230, it's right scruffy beast. One thing I'm trying to work out for weathering is the grills at the silencer end no1 end. On all the Enterprise locos these seem to be black even ex works but not sure, I know the grills each side on the number 2 end are same colour as the livery in ex works condition.
-
230 was painted in the Enterprise livery in 2001/2002 as far as I can recall. It didn't get the white fillets until the later half of 2006 though which the model features.
-
I wonder will the CIE Mk2s be as popular as the orange roof IE versions? They have been even more popular than the excellent Cravens that can still be found anywhere any running number.
-
5609 with the orange roof can be used for the IR or early IE era as there is no livery difference. Don't know if we will see a dedicated IR EGV. On the standards and restaurant it's only the IE logos on the orange roof versions that make the difference. A bit of white spirits and you have an IR version. Will PM really do an IR Mk2 run? I don't know.

Listed as an experienced seller................yeah 10 years too late maybe=))
-
Is that the one where the front coupler extends out on the 071 to where the front of a 201 would be if it was scaled correctly? Think you posted that one before, it's bizzare looking.

MK3's to the West Clare Railway
Railer replied to thewanderer's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
I remember on the old IRN forums a few years ago there was on or two members very fond of the 2800s, and if a gun was put to my head and told to pick which DMU I'd be most interested in the 26/2800s would be my pick. As it is I have 1 very fine model of a 2600 in Arrow livery from D&M. Can't wait for the other 2.
