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. -
You must love the new 201 boxes so, seeing as they are different from the rest with the wrong livery loco being used for 233's description at the end (NIR 208) and different labeling style.
-
Those spoil wagons look great, they look like they weigh alot too. What loco model did you base No.4 on?

MK3's to the West Clare Railway
Railer replied to thewanderer's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
In 2004 IE bought a BR Mark 3 TRFK for use on the Push Pull sets and it's the exactly same size, just got new bogies. The reason our Mk3s are 100mph restricted are because of 1) our track standard 2) our signaling system and 3) 100mph is the 201's design limit well 105mph is. 071s have been known to exceed 90mph back in the day before they got the event recorders fitted to make up time when hauling Mk3s. Same as the CAF Mk4, they could do 125mph if we had better heavier standard track, better block signaling and faster locos. -
About 15min walk with young uns. I'd cover that distance in under 10mins myself but I walk fast. I live in between Harmonstown and Killester DART stations right on the line.

MK3's to the West Clare Railway
Railer replied to thewanderer's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
How are they 5" wider? Our Mk3s are/were the same as the UK ones body shell wise except they have bogies for the 5ft 3 gauge and IE added plug doors that UK ones got retrofitted in recent years. If anything they should be more stable with the slightly wider base lowering their centre of gravity ever so slightly. The International set was bought straight from the UK but with new bogies fitted. -
Don't think so. It's cab 1 they left it off and that's always the leading cab. The other end is always coupled to the stock so the strip will flow of it. Looks similar to 8208's livery it got back in 2006. The locos are getting new systems and equipment in this Enterprise refurb program. I don't know if it's just for the Enterprise 201s or will all active 201s get these systems too.
-
EGV 7601 that was spared at Dundalk was hauled to Inchicore by 8208. It still exists along with around 7-8 standards that are being kept for someone who bought them. 7607 and 7409 I think are the correct numbers are being fitted out for per way use. One for the Sperry train and the other for the weed spray.

Purely static I reckon which is a shame. I'd love a tour set up with 124 and those 3 Mk3s once 7146 is modified to work with the DVT.
