    Thanks Shem,but no sound chip as there is no room what so ever for a speaker and chip.This loco was hand painted by me with MIR 201 orange.Close up the paint job is not great but I am happy enough with it.I know you have a soft spot for the 121s.

    Lovly stuff there Ant. Robert,I will do some photos soon on Gerrys 121. Worth looking for is the june 2011 IRRS journal with a good feature by Brian Solomon on the 121 class with a nice photo of 125 running bonnet first in black and tan livery near Booterstown. Brian also does the 141/181 locos in the june 2010 journal. Here is my own baby 135-

    I did mention the 121 class to Paddy back in August,and He did say it will be a few years as He suggested the 071s had taken a number of years to get to the production stage. As regards the MIR version,I have a resin version with a unpowered SW 1500 athearn underneath. Gerry Byrne has a lovely collection of 121s that I must get good photos of.I do remember a single 121 running nose first at Edermine LC near Enniscorthy many years ago.I don't know what the story was,perhaps a breakdown.

    For some reason to I had it as 072,and its only when I got photos off the external hard drive did I see it was 073.As you said they were very clean The locos that is,and what a brilliant day it was. Such a pity a mk3 set was not kept for days such as that.
  8. enniscorthyman
    Fantastic layout-well done.
  9. enniscorthyman
    It was a fab railtour that day and the sadly the last spin in the mk3s. All that was missing was Heirflick and a bottle of Jemmy. I had forgoten 072 brought us to Limerick, 083 brought us on the next leg. Ant was very happy to watch 083 couple up. While I got up close to 083.
  10. enniscorthyman
    Was it you Ant that I saw hugging 073 at Limerick station when you thought no one was looking!.lol
  11. enniscorthyman
    Thanks Noel,Allison well.Are the 071s settled in on Tara junction yet?.
  12. enniscorthyman
    Some fab photos there,thanks for sharing.
  13. enniscorthyman

  14. enniscorthyman

    A few shoots I took on "The Deeps" layout the other night of 082 on the ballast and 112 just hanging around.
  18. enniscorthyman
    Looks great,well done.

    I remember seeing this train near Ferns station in the early 90s and was wondering what the feck it was.There is a photo in a IRRS journal with this train near Ballingrane junction.
  20. enniscorthyman
    The video is wonderful and shows the joy of DCC sound. I was watching my 071s on a friends layout the other night and they run so sweet and smooth.I will post up photo of 082 on the ballast train later.
  21. enniscorthyman
    I think it's dark days for us all in regards wages,keeping a job-but sure look if we have good health and model railways to keep us going,twill be grand.
  22. enniscorthyman
    I don't think the b101s hauled any mk2s as they were very much sidelined to secondary work in the 70s.Its when the 071s were introduced in 1976 that they were started to be Withdrawn.As a matter of interest a IRRS journal back in 2008 did a great article on the mk2d coaches and in particular the photos of experimental liverys that were looked at in 1972 for the super train livery.
  23. enniscorthyman
    The program was a bit disappointing alright. Anyone remember a series in the late 1970s which I think was called trains-of all things.I remember a 001 On the cover of the RTE guide-or did I dream all this?.
  24. enniscorthyman
    Seeing the unusual is right.on some of the old Ruth's I did I had to collect mail-parcels from Enniscorthy station and Was always on the lookout for something in the sidings such as cement or ballast.Sometime in the mid 90s I Had the joy of seeing 078 returning LE back to Dublin and got so caught up forgot to collect the mail bag that I had been sent to the station for.No phone cameras back then!.

    Just boring plastic railcars Rich. Do call for the tea if you get a chance.
