    007 is the Lakeview freight yard pilot locomotive.

    Currently there are 60 locomotives on the layout with 25 in storage, I tend to rotate the active locomotives to work various trains and after servicing allocate the others to a light engine movement around the layout just to keep them active.

    Its a great time to be an Irish railway modeller, and certainly now as the A class has made it to our layouts, Many thanks to Fran,Patrick,Stephen,Richie and others for all of the fantastic IRM products to date and making our dreams into reality, Long may it last....the very best of luck to you all for whatever new products you have in the pipeline, I'm off upstairs to allocate 8 out of the 10 A class locomotives to Fridays nights freight and passenger roster.......

    As I was directly involved with this episode-there was no anti social behaviour on this occasion, I will not go into any more details on a public forum. Thank you.

    Wow great shot-it is 086 and Paddy Cassidy from Westport is driving, The footbridge was renewed in 1986 so your not far off the mark 1988/89 would be right Thanks for sharing MD220

    056s complete with weathered bogies
  13. ttc0169
    Some weathering of the bogies,buffers and CAWS protecting grid-(on locomotive 054) using powders has really brought out the exquisite detail on them-and highlights the rotating axles to great effect.

    Looking forward to the open day

    The Fridays only passenger trains were a feature of the scene during the late 1980s and early 1990s, Here we see 036 work the FO Dublin Heuston-Tralee with 6 Mk2d stock as 054 works the Dublin Heuston-Ballina FO service which is composed of 8 Cravens and BR GSV.

    A night time view of 018 as she ticks over in Lakeview freight yard, I really like the red and white shunting lights function on the locomotive

    Jonathan-I use the PECO LK-55 and installed their purpose built motor, Highy recommended.

    018 on the out road trial-no issues a fantastic model-with the unmistakeable EMD sound and a superb runner.
  24. ttc0169
