Bus Eireann SE. Finally gotten around to replacing the wheels on my SE fleet of buses on Tara junction, Ballina based SE31,32,48 and 49 are seen here undergoing work, Thank you to Martin Hewitt who recommended the herpa wheels for the replacement which I think makes a big improvement to the coaches-delighted with the results.

Class 47 on empty cartics from Leeds and a class 31 with Caroline pass and overtake the class 45 on the loop on Ashburton grove.

Likewise….

Superb work -really makes the model stand out.

Locomotive 133 is seen here receiving attention at the fuelling point having been removed from the push pull set earlier and replaced by 130.

A 105/122 DMU consist pass through Ashburton grove earlier on a Manchester-York working.

Received my “eviction” notice earlier…

181 shunts the two axle vans into position for unloading.

Great work Jason….if you have any of the houses for sale I’ll take the second one on the left please

Tara Junction MPD The night shift crew admire the newly commissioned locomotive washing plant at the MPD, Some additional brushes have been added to match the body profile of the 121/141/181 and 071 class locomotives. 171 gets a badly needed wash at the new facility.

Hi James, The De Dietrich coaches are maintained at York road works while the Enterprise 201s are maintained at Inchicore works, Unfortunately visits to both locations now are not allowed due the stupidity of H&S, I do know that the IRRS ran a supervised tour to Adelaide depot in Belfast last year so unless you are a member of that organisation it would be impossible to visit either location on your own. The days of wandering around these places are long gone-even for some employees.

B188 has charge of a short perway train at the mill sidings.

That’s well gone through the system at this stage DJ, Catching up with some work on Tara junction…..which will be uploaded over the coming days….

Bubbles looking well Jason

@Warbonnet @BosKonay are we still on track for an end of May delivery for the Park Royal coaches please?

Yes Mol…I was there to sample the delightful medicine on offer…..

The RPSI operated another successful Railtour today with the Owenacurra tour to Midleton and Cork 077 worked the train from Heuston to Midleton and 229 worked the train from Midleton to Cork where 077 returned the train to Dublin Heuston…seen here passing through Tara junction.

Ballisodare mill sidings. Early morning shunting at the mill sidings with B125.

036 works the Shelton abbey-Marino point empty ammonia. 192+160 work a North esk-Shelton abbey laden fertliser 127+133 work a Waterford-Sligo BELL liner all on Tara junction this afternoon.

Peak performance class 45 and 44 work a large freight through Ashburton grove.

The 08 has completed a long shunt of assembling wagons and now basks in the sunshine.

New lights have been fitted to the canopy on platforms 3 and 4 which greatly improve the effect on the station.

Staff facilities building has been installed at the mill sidings.

Cheers and thanks DJ…..I’ll have to get upstairs and start recording TRAINS that is….
