It’s been there for years, often the same eejit posting about moyesta on tiktok would break in and explore these “forgotten coaches”

If anyone has a good colour photo of that coach in good condition and in that livery, I’d love to see it….I am addicted to that livery

My best speculation is that maam cross might be a good home to a certain ITG locomotive that is looking for a home

Garrison model show 2022. Saturday 28th of august from 12pm-4.30pm. probably worth a visit if you live down south. I reckon it will be busy this year as it’s also the first time the fort has re opened since covid hit (rather harsh clash of dates)

Oh Christ lt was “only 1 powered item this year” a couple of months ago my financial plans are ruined and I shall now re-morgage d’house

Ahhhhh so that’s where the blue thunder tour ended up…. I’m in the same boat as DJ…seriously? I know NIR have basically no use for em but a 111 would be the first of its kind to be preserved…and a big undertaking in itself Or is 112 the number ye guys will have to dial when photographers from all over Ireland descend on maam cross on opening day

Well we know of the Ruston 88ds…..will it be able to pull all the stock coming it’s way….

There mustn’t be very much stuff left that is “GSR livery appropriate” perhaps we can import some Pullman’s and put some 5,3 bogeys under them…

813 looks great in that livery, however if it’s going to maam cross I imaging a coat of GSR livery will be applied once the apropriate TLC has been applied

If I went up to IE and offered them that for the real 230 in its current state….they’d throw in a mark 3 to sweeten the deal!

While the handrail adds to the authenticity…perhaps fixing it would be worth it. Mine had similar issues but it went back in with little to any fuss and has been perfectly level and sturdy ever since

I’m just looking forward to the Bachmann CIE fertiliser wagons

Time to Re-spray the cravens

Changed it to orange…like I was meant to say nah those 29000s will stay in that livery as long as people are willing to complain about it

There is a man out west here who lives in a railway coach, couldn’t tell you where it came from though ill buy those CMDR coaches off the dungarvan greenway, and sink money into em like there is no tommorow I know CIE are against putting any passenger stock in orangeagain as that associates with the “old” image green however….well that’s a whole other story

My dad said my generation will be living in container homes…. I wonder in 20 years times will I be living in a mark 4

Secrets ehh i know a heuston driver that told me ******

It’s strange seeing relatively modern equipment that far west!

Possibly the “30 tonne van” that fiacra saw just seen it land on maam cross on Facebook so it has to be

When a preservation society rescues it number 90 style in 20 years time….then you can have yer orange

Regardless it’s probobly out by maam cross anyway (which is still a small trip from where you are anyway) twill probobly be fairly easy to spot I wonder is it restored fully? could have also been a something else I am think off….did it have any tint of yellow?

I think only a tight group know what there actually getting We know there getting a former CSE Ruston, a bulleid wagon, a 30 tonne brakevan (presumably also Ex-Halfway vintage club as there one has been missing for years)it may also mean the GSR 6 wheel coach the halfway vintage club had could also being going there even though twas in bad shape last time I saw it move …all these peices are EX GSRPS @Fiacra did the brake van look anything like this one here certain items the RPSI don’t use will be going there, these I shan’t disclose but they all make sense They will also be receiving stuff from IE. I won’t disclose what but I think you can guess what it is

In the days where you just run to the other end of the cab…does it matter that much? twill be interesting to see the tailte tour reverse out of killarney

For those who feared that ireland would be “mark 3 free” executive coach number 7161 is heading for newcastle west for a resteraunt coach there…..as captured by Andrew goodman I must say…..Depite the fact it has 2 snails for some reason….this is a truly excellent peice of preservation
