What exactly are they supposed to do other than preserve Irish diesel traction?

No….No…. myself and GSWR90 worked on this all night long. Lots of AI and CGI.

I was there. It’s AI, there is no way 124 looked that good.

Shunting did happen very very recently. Just lads playing trains I suspect though.

Funny that 4 88ds types still live on today in Clonakilty, Soon to be maam cross, Belturbet and whitehead. An impressive % saved, the fate of Tuams 165 being rather unfortunate…

88 and 165 0-4-0 types

At home I have this book, which goes into detail on some bonkers railway lines. https://ebay.us/m/zTNN2K

The recent transfer of 2609 from Cork to Inchicore left people like me to record what was left of the last commuter livery 2600, and what will despite its cut short life, will probobly go down as the most interesting class memeber. Funny how this train worked the first train to midleton after re opening and was then stored, never to be used again 3 years later.

Those 3 Blue locos are very broken. Not too long ago there was talks of IE buying the 3 and leasing them back to NIR as you proposed. But once the condition was actually seen the idea was dropped

Excellent photo!

There is still some there yeah, could seem them from the Ex Heuston train as of this evening.

This question had once come up for Albert quay. My first thought was Collins but for the reasons above, I ruled it out. Rather annoyingly a lot of these men in the cork are either one side or the other. The answer I ended up settling on was either Mac curtain or Mac Sweeny, the former cork mayors who died during the war of independence.

speaking of cork in 2001….. also considering where I found my fastrack bags. IDs say they had loads spare come the end and they were used for odd jobs

Recently found fastrack plastic parcels (the sort of things you would get clothes deleivered in) which look like they date from the 2010s but are probably from something like the 1990s
