071's at Fifty - 082 joins the retro club
ttc0169 replied to thewanderer's topic in What's happening on the network?
Can’t see that happening-it was a horrible livery -
A second locomotive 129 was recently purchased from @WRENNEIRE this becoming the fifteenth 121 on Tara junction, This loco will be renumbered as 135, Having completed running in the locomotive-it was allocated to the outer suburban Park Royal set-and after arrival at the station it was uncoupled from the set and operated to the turntable to be turned then back to work the return service to Dublin Connolly.

With thanks to @Past-Avenue for the visit to Tara junction last week and bringing some of his excellent grain wagons-here we see locomotive 185 hauling two wagons and a brake van through Tara junction while enroute to Ballisodare mill.

B188 comes off the fuelling point to work a train to Sligo goods as A1 goes to the fuelling point for a FOW exam, B125 will follow B188 to Sligo goods once it has cleared the section to Sligo

The NTA won’t pay for the catering-their idea is that you purchase your supplies prior to departing from your home station and consume on board, In later years there are coffee shops and supermarkets within walking distances of most if not all major stations. -
Having received a service-it was time for steam locomotive 403 to perform a load test,so and empty set of Mk2Ds were coupled to the locomotive, Test was successful.
