    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.

    No Timo-originally green as far as I can remember-best option is to paint the interior sides and roof for best results.

    Maam Cross Connemara Railway Project continues at pace with an early summer opening date to be confirmed in due course. The volunteer’s erected a wooden fence today to improve the appearance at the entrance to the station, Some more 804 gravel was spread on the down platform and preparation was made for the arrival of on site WCs which will shortly be delivered to the station. In the last photo the section signal has been connected and can now be worked by pulling No3 lever in the signal cabin.

    Having been inspired by one of Tony Cooke’s photos on the IRRS slide show last night-I recreated the scene earlier on Tara junction….the photo showed a triple header of locomotives consisting of 2x141 coupled to an 001 heading to Northwall from Inchicore to form the evening departures to Westport (2x141s) and the Sligo (001) liner trains

    Thanks to Enda Byrne for supplying the 1990s style French tail lamps-seen here in position on locomotive 018

    Apoligies Keano30 for the late reply, These are the couplings used for the Mk2ds-they need to be glued under the NEM coupling,they won’t work when inserted into the pocket as it restricts their movement.

    Well deserved-onwards and upwards

    https://westhillwagonworks.com/ Yes-donated and altered by a good friend-a similar van was used in the 1980s for moving mail bags from Claremorris to Ballina and visa versa off the night mail train to Westport

    Thanks George…yes there was a small amount along the sides but easily solved with black paint-the roof was most noticeable but again sorted with black paint, West hill wagon works buckeye couplings need to be glued to the underside of the NEM pockets-it will cause the coaches to derail otherwise if inserted into the NEM

    Good idea lads
