A member on boards.ie reported that on Saturday morning 077 ran light from Inchicore to Connolly and back again. Just taking her for a quick spin around the block.

Nice work. Just one thing about your number decals. The tara wagons are numbered 31001 - 31024, 3 were added to the fleet, converted from ex shale wagons, they look a little different with an extra cross bar across the wagon length. They are numbered 31025-027. Other than that they look good, just a little too tall, maybe fit them with slightly smaller wheel sets.

Good stuff lads, thanks. Think I have a standard BR1 bogie on one end and a B4 on the other.
-
Got a second hand Mk1 GSV here. Just took it out of the box and noticed that the bogies are different. Can anyone tell me what bogies are used on the silverfox model so that I can replace the odd one? And possibly where to pick one up, thanks. I can get some Bachmann B4 type bogies but I don't know if IE fitted B4s to the Mk1s or only the Cravens.

None of those links are working for me. Says notify administrator, invalid attachment How can you guys see them.? Upload them up to photobucket or the likes maybe.

Wow, I got a new, never opened set for €85 last year.
-
Get a tube of silver paste and put it into the gaps, let it set and sand it in with fine sand paper. The second problem sounds like a short circuit protection issue. Get a multimeter and check for good continuity around your track circuits along the individual rails.
-
Along with 078 and poor 087. 085 has been burdened with the ol Inchicore ball and chain for over a year now.

Harder. You need the CIA and their waterboarding to find out anything. It's like the Stonecutters society. A guy called to tell you about a meeting for a wink wink at the you know what.
-
I hear 077 got out of the paint shop yesterday. No word if she has done any test runs yet.

Murphy Models 071 - New, detailed pre-production photos added!

It has at least two in IE colours. One on each cab, of opposite sides for sure 100%. -
An Asus Nexus 7. Great value for money and small enough to carry around. You can get the 32Gb WiFi version for about €240-250.

Is that a 59 you have painted up in the IC livery.
-
Here is 123 after the rails spread apart under the loco while it was pushing a Mk3 set back to Pearse from Drogheda. The undamaged Mk3s and DVT have already been hauled away while the rest of the train is recovered.
-
I'd love to know what 208 and 209 would have managed when they double headed a rail tour back in the mid '90s. They started in Belfast and 208 was removed in Lisburn while 209 carried on to Connolly. It was said that the couplings on some of the Cravens were found to be damaged after the tour was over. 6,400hp, don't think there was ever so much power hauling a train in Ireland before.
-
Was that not one of the A class. The loco was more or less hijacked. The driver was removed and a bomb was planted in the cab while the loco was let run unmanned on the Northern line till it exploded. Think it was 016. Or is that another story?
-
I've no back story to this event at all of how or what exactly happened.
-
They are just a few I have sitting on a hard drive. I one or two of an A class runaway accident in Cork freight yard and another of a 121 on a Mk3 PP working, derailed on the Northern Commuter line. Also a bad scanned picture of 225 after it's fatal level crossing accident 2 years ago, it's still not repaired and most likely never will be.
-
Funny enough 171 was the last baby GM in service. Spent it's last days shunting between Pearse, Connolly, North Wall and Heuston.
-
Back in the days when the wash road at Connolly yard was a good bit shorter than it is now.
-
Amazing the amount of people around the crash site with the cranes on scene. The days before health and safety.
-
Love the weathering effect on 077. Really interested to see that powdered effect used on an orange loco. It makes the detail stand out even more. Especially the bogies.

Murphy Models 071 and Murphy Models - OO Gauge Model of the Year Nominee
Railer replied to BosKonay's topic in Irish Models
For what little difference it may make. Done. -
077 is currently in the paint shop after it's body work overhaul. We'll see if it gets the new logo. It's been out of service for almost 2 years I think. 078 is up next to get done but it needs parts. 087 is in there too, all of them still in IE orange. It will be interesting to see how long 084 lasts before they call it in, it looks in a bad state but it worked alot of tara trains last year so it must still be a decent performer.

Yeah, we might have a better chance of seeing 8111 and 8113 this year than 209 or 230.
