  1. Not new but they are still around on the net
  2. There is lots of stuff at moyasta. Off the top of my head there is A3r A15 124 152 190 Mk 3 dvt mk 3 (maybe 2) C227 (disguised as C202) bullied corrugated open wagon 30 ton break van X3 Ballast wagons plough van Inchicore fire engines. a few bord NA mona types
  3. I think talk to Chris dier on Facebook. I don’t know if anyone on this parish off the top of my head who has done it but good luck
  4. I hear there allowed to run bonnet first…..won’t that be something
  5. I always though 1 Black and Tan 071 (lol) and one arrow 2600 would do nicely along with an orange 201
  6. Ironically lilt and the last commuter liveried 29k both went extinct around the same time I think Fanta cans compared to “cattle trucks” which is what Wikipedia said there nickname was, is slightly more humerus and I’ve actually heard people call it Fanta cans in the wild even 15 or so years after they last wore orange. Maybe one day there will be another Fanta can
  7. I’ll always recomend this thread which has not quite those things, but pretty close (I think if you click on the image it brings to northern blue 109s flickr with some fun and some serious “what ifs” in Ireland and beyond)
  8. What I meant by bad record was just LOOK at how many failures there was in 2022. I was not commenting on your book keeping in fact, this is a good easy way to keep track (infact it should be plugged into Excel to make pie charts and the like) what I’m saying is the DD’s look great, have. Lovely GM at the head, but with a record like that it’s getting easy to justify a replacement
  9. Where did the footbridge come from?
  10. I’m no expert but that’s not a great record. even with my Mark 4 bias the DDs deffinetly have a better ride and I’ll miss them when there gone. But you can’t overlook a reliability record like that….and that was in 2022, there not getting any younger!
  11. I think these locos were not copies but pulled out of the reject bin. So these models could be decective hence he wants them out of circulation same when a bad batch of currency gets out of the mint
  12. This one always seemed like an open goal for a 3D print project or a kit.
  13. good to hear....ive heard fanta cans and buiscuit tins purley in a saterical fashion but never cattle cars.... a thread uncovering the falsities in irish railway wikipedia would be good!
  14. Oh yeah the point of my previous post was a “wouldn’t it be nice if” fever dream….one could say an April fools.
  15. Has anyone ever called them that? somone would ought to remove that from the wiki. I’m no good at Wikipedia as I once tried to edit the cork bandon and south coast Wikipedia to remove “Clonmacsherry” as a village among a few other things and got in trouble with the citation police.
  16. Lovely model, shame about how they run themselves into the ground…
  17. I’m sure a millionaire would be able to get 90 to run down from limerick-Waterford. But that’s about it. I’d probobly spend my millions on newbuilds or restoring 6111 or something
  18. A crude representation of Locomotive 461 features on “Farming simulator 2019”
  19. Oh…..oh yes Those photos were taken many years ago too ….
  20. Bogies being swaped for ITG spares and it’s due to be part of a meuseum
  21. Your able to see it. Just get the right permission first https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/9317-c202/
  22. our train was delayed at least half an hour too maybe 45 minutes
  23. Must have been Almost 12 months ago. At this stage I could find the dates
  24. It’s not a journey one would want to make in one day. I recomend staying in Cork (somhow) overnight. Maybe do the East Cork lines too. belfast-Connolly has first class (unless it breaks down as my Cork-Belfast leg did, great fun sitting the 2nd half of a 6 hour journey in a 29k!), but, thanks to the ongoing refurbishment of the mark 4s. The Heuston-Cork leg of your journey will either be in the old City Gold, Or the New 1st class and it’s impossible to tell which trains have the new and improved first class, versus the old and a bit tired city gold. just yesterday I was in Kent following the st Patrick’s day special trains on the east Cork lines and counted of the 3 mark 4 sets I saw, 2 of them still had city gold
