    @derek-I recently purchased 174, it’s a normal noise for new locomotives - run in the loco-30 mins in either direction and then remove the bogies and check the amount of lubrication on the gears underneath-I had to put a drop of grease on them,the loco has considerably quietened down since.
  2. And another over bridge at the Ballymote end…..near the “upside down plate”…!!
  3. PECO bullhead points and track would look well Denis.
  4. Sean Brown at Hell’s Kitchen in Castlerea has information and photos too Denis.
  5. Prototype and production HST power cars at the MPD on Ashburton grove.
  6. The connecting gangway door is indeed a shade of yellow instead of the dayglo red on the 1994 original version-this is due to current H&S requirements, where the dayglo is not allowed on the railcar connecting gangway door.
  7. It was the junction of the line to Ballaghderren -drive through Gurteen village towards Boyle for about one mile then take a left…see photo.
  8. Kilfree junction pre closure and ithe real location is not too far away from you Denis….
  9. As can be seen above with the real railcar……the miniature 2600 has also received the grey bogies and under frame on Tara junction in a day and night time scene.
  10. Back to the 1990s, fresh from the IE paint shop at Inchicore is 2601+2602 sporting original as delivered Arrow livery. I was fortunate to be invited to the unveiling of the railcars at Inchicore paint shop yesterday…
  11. 190+184 arrive on the loop platform with a Platin-Tullamore two axle bulk cement working.
  12. A class 40 hauled ballast hopper train passes a looped class 58 hauled freight on Ashburton grove.
  13. Tick tick….bang…..085 works the bogie and wheel carrier wagons towards the MPD on Tara junction…..thank you
  14. Happy birthday Oisin-a well deserved present-enjoy
  15. Friday night for @DJ Dangerous 121 class locomotive 133 serves the platform with the night mail to Dublin,when loading was completed the train was propelled out of the platform and routed to the down main to allow the Tralee-Dublin Heuston Mk3 set hauled by 087 overtake-Enterprise sets are stabled on platforms 1 and 2. The permanent way crew on locomotive 049 take a break prior to working a rail train out of the yard.
  16. The Leeds-Penzance sleeper train has a brand new Mk3 and Mk1 sleeper coach in the formation tonight seen here passing through Ashburton grove.
  17. Fast trains pass each other on Ashburton grove….. IMG_3213.mov
  18. A standard gauge buffer stop has been installed on the end of the goods loop siding at the Clifden end of Maam cross station and WC cubicles have been delivered to the station.
  19. Arrow railcars 2601+2602 & 2607+2608 are seen here at the Tara junction MPD undergoing servicing.
  20. No Timo-originally green as far as I can remember-best option is to paint the interior sides and roof for best results.
  21. Heavy duty plant being prepared for the night shift on Tara junction.
