    More activity from Maam cross took place yesterday in between the thunderstorms…. Well wagon 649A arrived from Waterford and was put on the rails, Some building rubble was removed from around the signal cabin, Preparation of the ground along the goods loading and cattle bank siding was completed-this allowed the installation of a buffer stop and 5’3” track panel. Enjoy the photos….

    Rewind back to November 1983 and we see a brand new class 58 locomotive 58 020 “Doncaster works” fresh from the plant arrive at the MPD on Ashburton grove, It will be based here adding to the ever increasing fleet of motive power at the MPD.

    It’s been a year since IRM released the fantastic 001 class locomotives onto the model railway scene, Here we see 007 on shed with 086,126 and 132 on Tara junction.

    Correct Rusk & Lusk-an assisting locomotive (076) was sent from Ballina to Claremorris to haul back the timber train and 086 to platform two in Claremorris, The Ballina branch train was delayed departing by 14 mins until 076 cleared off the branch at Manulla jctn hence the wait at the jctn for the 13:10 service. Normal service was resumed from Claremorris.

    A autumn evening scene-The new Dapol junction semaphore signals look right at home on the Tara junction,they read from the branch platform to the up main and branch line.

    No DJ, A gentleman was selling his collection of model railways so 079 was an original grey MM which I purchased,and with the addition of my own supply transfers from Railtec, it became 079…I also added the green coupling and various brake pipe detailing.

    Saturday morning at the MPD on Tara junction. A chance purchase of 079 has added to the fleet of six grey liveried 071s on the layout. We see 079 on the wheel lathe getting its wheels turned, 166 is seen here lifted clear of its bogies as it undergoes an overhaul. 204 receives attention to its power unit as various locomotives come and go for exams and fuel,oil and water.
