I am having a problem posting up here from laptop which shows a blue area in the box I want to post or reply to any message.The probem only seems to apply to my crap laptop as my I pod touch lets me message no problem. Any ideas?.

Sure did,and kids were happy eventually.Nice Seeing everyone again.

Very nice and in particular the gatwicks.

Good to have you back Noel and sorry to hear of your loss. The tamper looks fab,along with autoballesters,a nice scene.

My wife said I was shouting out 112 and 082 in my sleep during the night.lol. Hope to see some of ye this morning.I will probably by the Guy chasing after a three year old who won't stay quite.

Thanks for posting up photos Dave,as even just having a look at the boxes is fab.Hope to chat to you on Saturday.

There was one recorded working of a 201 under its own Power in the 90s that went past Arklow to Wexford.I think It might have been a cement.A 201 was hauled by a 141 over the south Wexford line and back to Dublin via the coast line for clearance tests in the mid 90s as well.

The Rosslare line got the Mk2d coaches in 1988 from what I remember,and prior to that the Craven-Park Royal combo was in use.The Mk3 PPs seemed to appear in 1990-91 on the Sunday 10.30 ex Connolly as They were not in use on outer subburban links on Sunday.I remember going back to Dublin on the return evening service in 1991 with a Mk3 PP and a single 121,and a GAA special arrived with another Mk3 PP and 121 into Enniscorthy station. Oh for a camera back then. The single 121s struggled big time on the Rosslare line with a six piece Mk3 PPs and after a few breakdowns,double heading with 141s and 121/141 combos were common.When the 201s arrived in 1994 the 071s dominated traction on the Rosslare line and hauled the Mk3 PPs for a few years more.I am not sure when the Mk3 PPs stopped on the Sunday services,perhaps around 1995.

Oh I have waited so long for this Weekend,and levels of happyness are gathering a pace.

Very nice work on the point there Stephen,especially Like the loco release at the terminus.

As Des Says have a go.If you have any problems just ask here.

I hope to do mine in the final livery they carried that is the super train livery and number her 103.

Very Nice Des-worth waiting for.

Nice work there Tommy.

Exactly why I got rid of them,mainly the poor running.I know they can be improved with a model torque motor,however as you said Des the newer 201 is such a cracker.

I sold Murphy Lima 201 for 60e a few months back along with 217 for the same price on this site.

Welcome to the site and layout looks good.

Ask away Rob,that's what we are here for.I try to help myself as I have a good book collection and tons of IRRS journals.I am amazed at the help and knowledge on Irish Railways that people can muster here.

I remember watching it in 1988,and love the opening scene with the train fading away to that nice music.

Yes they are,and I hope to get more soon.

Some hero is right.Brings me back to the Tour of Ireland in 2008 and Armstrong riding over Mt Leinster and a small kids calling out his name.I always had hoped he was clean.Biggest fraud in sports history.

Very nice scenes there Frank,well done.

Thanks for the comments Guys. And it would be a fair old journey from Oz Frank just to see a Vintage day and me cursing at derailing trains. If the weather holds up it will be great,if not,it could be a disaster.It at least is raising money for a good cause-local Hospice home care.
