    (Credit: Unknown) Would anyone know what type of tender this 500 coupled up to? Would anyone have more photos of this particular tender?
  2. 228RiverOwenboy
    Very good and detailed diagram. However, the outlines of it are a bit faint in some areas. Still a good photo nonetheless.

    An NIR DH's possible return home...?

    Absolutely amazing work! Fair play to all involved; this is a big step in Irish railway preservation.
  5. 228RiverOwenboy
    Would make a really neat DH (double-header)!

    I had the feeling; 226 wouldn't really have anywhere to go at Connemara as of now, there's only... What... About 20 metres of 5'3 track right now? Though I do wonder where 226 will go after the careful restoration is complete...

    I wonder what kind of whistle the 500s had... Is there any preserved Irish/UK locomotive whistle type that's close to it/sounds similar?
  8. 228RiverOwenboy
    Would anyone know the top speed of this locomotive? Or any specifications/characteristics?
  9. 228RiverOwenboy
    Most definitely vandalism... Sure look at C227 (otherwise known as "C202")!

    Sponsored by Murphy Models and Studio Scale Kits!

    Ah don't worry, I think IE could shrink it down to 00 gauge to save money!

    Most likely chopped up at Inchicore! And no, it's a Mark 3 of some sort, it appears to be on temporary bogies... I can only assume it was the spares for the Belmond set or the intended replacement of the Mark 1 Sperry coach (a buffet Mark 3 was also supposed to work in junction with the aforementioned Mark 3). Here's to hoping the last 141s can be saved somehow... haha...

    And so she was... Poor old girl... This is a screenshot that I found awhile back, and goodness me is it a sad sight to see. I'm certain 162 has also been scrapped, as I can't find her anywhere-
  14. 228RiverOwenboy
    I believe she was just about to reach 49 years of service, she was withdrawn in November 2011 - surprisingly passing the 47 years and 2 days that 124 had served from Feb 1961 to March 2008!
  15. 228RiverOwenboy
    I believe so! They were the last 141s in service, with 171 being the last 141 to have been ever used in mainline service (Nov 2011?), and 162 being used to shunt B113 at Inchicore when it was being moved to Cultra in late 2011
  16. 228RiverOwenboy
    144 was scrapped in March 2022, I'm unsure about 162, 171, 177 and 147... I can only assume that 162 would be next, as it's in the worst condition of them all.

    Goodness me is she gorgeous...

    Right here! May not be a coach, but here they are in use. This was 134 awaiting overhaul at the Inchicore Works. 7/9/2017 Credit - G. Mooney

    I believe they are temporary bogies, which are put in place when a coach/locomotive's actual set of bogies are removed (for reconditioning, repainting, etc.) That's where the temporary bogies come to use. I remember seeing photos of 134 on temporary bogies when it was in it's early stages of restoration. Now, I'm not entirely sure if these type of bogies will be "temporary" on this Mark 3B SLE, as they seem to be permanent on this one

    Hi all; I am currently planning to make some GNR(I) or GSR-related locos, the U, S, and Q/QS Class locos in particular. I was wondering if anyone would have any diagrams (or drawings) of said locos? Or perhaps some others? Thank you. An example would be something like the diagram below.
  21. 228RiverOwenboy
    Much appreciated, thank you!
  22. 228RiverOwenboy
    Hi lads, just wondering, is there any coloured pictures of this loco in service? I'm currently trying to figure out the colours of the CIE (green) livery the 500(s) wore. Thanks.
  23. 228RiverOwenboy
    Might've had a bad flu... Poor 121!
  24. 228RiverOwenboy
    I do agree with you, the green looks... Ugly, to put it lightly.
  25. 228RiverOwenboy
    Perhaps! Cool seeing another photo of it! Hope there's more...
