    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.

    Stores oil former IE tank wagons 607A and 633A have now arrived in their new home at Maam cross, I have fond memories working with these wagons when they were part of the nightly liner trains to and from Ballina/Claremorris. Well done to all concerned

    It’s the calm before the storm as we see a quiet Tara junction station.. Locomotive 133 awaits turning on the turntable as 048 sits coupled to the branch passenger set, 027 is coupled to the two axle ballast hopper set to the left of 048.

    When the lads at Maam cross get their hands on it-then you can expect the model version finish to it.

    Great to see the prototype ballast hopper and the subject of the IRM model 24256 being saved for preservation at Maam cross,looking forward to playing with the real wagon in the near future…. Its miniature form is working away on ballasting duties on Tara junction.
  24. ttc0169
    Another two ballast hoppers arrived overnight to Maam cross,this completes the ballast train, Even better to see the prototype wagon for the IRM model being saved-24256-it will be well looked after Its miniature version is hard at work on Tara junction……

    Touchdown-the two axle ballast hopper is the first wagon on the 5’3’’ gauge track in Maam cross for 87 years. IMG_8856.MOV
