....On the topic of that particular game, I and the developer/owner are currently doing a remaster.

I'd imagine something like that, didn't the 121s have a bit of a struggle when pulling 6 Mark 3 Suburbans by themselves (as in one loco)?

Had a visit at Inchicore pretty recently. Her cab interior hasn't been fully sorted from what I saw inside, the electrical stuff still needs finishing. So I suppose, cosmetically speaking, she's complete, but mechanically? Most likely not.

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone could provide a list of what 121 and 141 Class locomotives were fitted with the EMD 8-645E and ones that retained their EMD 8-567CR up until withdrawal/scrapping?

Nothing of it so far. I'm not too surprised!

"HOW DARE THAT C3K RUIN MY PROFESSIONAL VIDEOGRAPHY!!!" A bit of wibbling I see

Some news on 162... This photo was taken on the 21st of November at Inchicore. At the time she was paired with 086 and 3185TL (the latter being owned by the RPSI). Most definitely due for scrap very soon. (Credit: Own work)

147, 162, 171 and 177 are still around, though recently I've seen 162 in a dire state. There's a red "X" on the side of her cab, so I can only assume she's up for scrap very soon. 144 was scrapped in March 2022, so there's four 141s left at Inchicore.

The person who posted the video replied to a comment asking where he got this info regarding 073, and he simply replied with "worker", I'm slightly doubting this since 073 wasn't due for any repaints as far as I know...

Someone's after saying that 073 has been reverted back to the typical IE dark grey... https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGe2mpqbL/

201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 224 and 230 are the mothballed 201s as of now. The orange 201s (201-205 and 210-214) aka the non-push/pull 201s were withdrawn around 2009, with 214 "River Brosna" being the last non-push/pull 201 to come out of service in July of that year. 230 "River Bandon" caught fire on the 6th of June 2013 while it was hauling an Enterprise set. It was put into storage shortly afterwards and hasn't seen any usage, though in July 2017 it got partially rebuilt using 211 "River Suck" as the donor (apparently), but nothing of it has been done since. 224 "River Feale" was stopped and stored after a structural failure had happened while hauling the 14:25 hr Cork Kent to Dublin Heuston service. It experienced a coolant leak and electrical fault that caused the locomotive to shut down while approaching Limerick Junction and its midsection began to sag downwards. 224 was deemed a failure and towed to Inchicore, where it currently remains. The RAIU report concluded that an unnecessary weld repair was applied to a structural chassis plate, which in turn resulted in the underframe eventually failing. 225 "River Deel" was stored in September of 2010 after having a fatal collision with a tractor in Roscommon while hauling a container train on the 09:30 hrs freight service from Ballina to North Wall. Fortunately, 225 was overhauled and reinstated, Returning to freight service on the 24th of October 2019 and passenger service on the 8th of November 2019. Both RAIU reports of the incidents of 224 and 225 are linked below: https://www.raiu.ie/investigations/chassis-plate-fracture-on-general-motors-class-201-locomotiv/1625134352168400/ (224) https://www.raiu.ie/investigations/road-vehicle-struck-at-level-crossing-xm096-county/1542278790784806358/ (225)

On the 2nd of September, 2010 - 225 "River Deel" was involved in a fatal collision at level crossing XM096, County Roscommon. According to the RAIU report (link below), the tractor may have stalled and remained in the middle of the crossing. 225 appears to have had some damage as a result of the incident. The damage to the loco can be seen in the image below. https://www.raiu.ie/investigations/road-vehicle-struck-at-level-crossing-xm096-county/1542278790784806358/ ...Not sure when this photo was taken, but here's a photo of when 216 was stored at the Inchicore Works... I wonder if she would've ended up like the other mothballed 201s if the Belmond train never happened!

I wonder how 134's getting on...

I just noticed something... Is this the same water tank that was from the West Clare Railway in Moyasta?

Was there not a few sources stating that Kishogue is due to open in December 2023? The tender for it said somewhere in November of this year, from what I can recall...
