    A few shoots I took on "The Deeps" layout the other night of 082 on the ballast and 112 just hanging around.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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very much sidelined to secondary work in the 70s.Its when the 071s were introduced in 1976 that they were started to be Withdrawn.As a matter of interest a IRRS journal back in 2008 did a great article on the mk2d coaches and in particular the photos of experimental liverys that were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.

    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?.

    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!.

    Hi Rob,it's great to hear your story and thanks for sharing.This hobby is great for keeping us all on the straight and narrow,and keep up the good work. I think you are like a lot of us and got bitten by the GM bug.I am a postie myself,and while doing a duty near Wexford town a good few years ago saw a double headed baby GM ballast train and nearly Drove the van into the river Slaney rubbernecking the Train!.

    Excellent stuf there bud,just the way I remember them in the final years on the Rosslare line,Filthy and corrosion causing problems.
  17. enniscorthyman
    Glad ye like the photos and video.

    Well welcome to the site. Yes poor 121 was damaged with its traction motor cables and body damage.She was coupled to a 141 and another 141 had to come from Waterford light engine and push the whole train back to New Ross after the fire was put out.The train stabled overnight and returned to Waterford the next day.The line was closed shortly and I think only a inspection car only ran after that.

    If you go to page 5 of General chat You will see near the bottom-Waterford -Ballinacourty revisited.Sorry I can't link it as I am on my I pod touch at the moment

    I posted up photos of the Waterford-Ballinacourty revisited back in the summer after having a look at the former line near Durrow tunnel and ballyvoyle viaduct which I found Nearly impossible in parts to get through with the overgrown nature of the line and pure bog in parts. The New Ross line is almost impassible as well with the weed killer train going on fire near Glenmore in1995 which Caused 121 herself to never return to traffic.I have a tape recording of some including the Waterford and Borris lines.
  21. enniscorthyman
    Very impressive.
  22. enniscorthyman
    Bloody fantastic,well done.
  23. enniscorthyman
    I am looking out for ideas myself and looking at other people's layouts gives plenty to think about.
  24. enniscorthyman
    As I still dont have a proper layout,and I having to try and see about a proper man shed to hold any future layout,I was down today to see my 112 and 082 on Gerrys Ballybeg and include a video of today and a bit showing the Wexford show a few weeks back. And a bit of video-
  25. enniscorthyman
    Never mind those locos,My MIR white metal 121 got vexed with me one night and jumped off the old high viaduct that I had and smashed in bits in front of me!.Some tears were shed and she emerged from Inchicore,sorry the shed following repairs.
