Folks, I'm trying to fill a few blanks in the above newsletter, which were issued between 1993 & around 1998. I'm not very sure about how the actual number of magazines issued, but I think those that I am missing are as below : Vol 1 [1993 ] - Number 1 Vol 4 [1996] - Numbers 1/2 ] Not sure if the were any after 1997, but I don't have any. If anyone has any of the above for sale at any reasonable price, plus postage, please contact me. Many thanks H

I think it was the E's that some of the drivers had a fear that above a certain speed they might take off....there was one comment that coming up to an overbridge, there was a worry the loco might try to go over rather than under it

Also, of course, worked Shelton Abbey in 1970's - used to come up to Canal Street at a good clip between Wicklow - Greystoneson a Saturday afternoon for maintainence - back down early Monday

I think they were tried on the Harcourt Street road just before closure
