    It was a “Good Friday” for operations on Tara junction. 087 working the Tralee-Heuston CIE Mk3 set serves the platform as 036 is held at signal TJ 101 with a laden fertiliser train from Foynes to Ballina. 160+183 are coupled to a CIE Mk2 set working a non stop Heuston-Limerick relief service, 018 works a Northwall-Waterford BELL liner as 143+130 work in the opposite direction. 220 working a Cravens set departs on an Athlone-Heuston relief service,as 129 propels a set of Park Royal coaches back to the platform to work the branch service. — at Tara Junction Station

    That was a shame as they were well built,and there was a market for the 2600s and the De Dietrich coaches. Maybe IRM might do something in a few years.

    Yes DJ,looking at doing the same with my other 2600 railcar now. (2607+2608)

    An early 1990s scene being recreated here as we see an Irish rail ERF tractor unit with a tri axle bulk cement tanker commence operating from the cement silo area of the Lakeview freight yard as unloading of two axle bubble cement wagons has commenced.

    After encountering reliability issues with the original motor under Arrow railcar 2601+2602,I decided it was time to upgrade, A bargain purchase at Model rail Scotland of a Class 150 DMU enabled me to upgrade with ease,with the added bonus of interior lights and seating-(not possible on the original chassis) A built in speaker will allow me to transfer the original sound file onto the chip. Here are a few photos of the Arrow as she prepares to depart on an evening service to Kildare.
