They really represent the late 1990s 2000 era on Irish rail, I was fortunate to drive one in Ballina freight yard between 1999 and 2001 -
(appropriate wagon yet.) I'll take twenty two axle wagons loaded with coal and oil containers-representing the Foynes-Ballina coal & oil train of the 80s & 90s

8112 was repainted earlier this year at York road MPD

Thanks Jason, much appreciated

Not gonna happen jhb....more chance of getting a 2600 railcar into original Arrow livery and locomotive 234 repainted into its original as delivered livery....

073 had been stopped after failing while working the IWT liner from Ballina and ended up being next in line for the body work overhaul and repaint, It had been initially suggested to the IE CME that 088 would be receive the IR livery to compliment 071 e.g.first and last locomotives but the decision was left to the CME, None of us minded so long as we got an 071 repainted into the IR livery.... and the rest is history......

Late night/early morning arrival of the Guinness liner at the Lakeview rail freight yard-The 2x181s were uncoupled immediately after arrival and went to the MPD for servicing.

Retro liveried locomotives 071 & 073 .

Hmm I do have some B&T 141/181s in storage... After seeing the photos a mixed pair would look great doubled up with a 141 /181....

Fantastic looking models...the black and tan locomotives look tempting now.....they weren't part of the overall plan....

Delighted to see Kieran's fabulous layout being featured in the iconic Railway modeller- it is well deserved for the time and effort that he has put in over the last few years, he is a gentleman and I have always looked forward to meeting him at the various exhibitions to catch up, Looking forward to purchasing the magazine.

Cheers and thank you JHB- see you soon....

Regular updates are given on this page along with various Facebook Irish railways pages, We are also fortunate to have two members who contribute to and have contacts with some of the leading UK railway magazines, with one magazine in particular doing an article during the early days of the project. A well known Irish radio & TV personality recently paid a visit to the site and was impressed with what he has seen so far and will give the project a mention on his return to the airwaves next month. -

As they say ''Rome wasn't built in a day'',thanks for the kind donation Kevin, Jim is fortunate in that he has a reliable volunteer base from various backgrounds including railway operations, engineers,accountants,fitters etc who are all keen and driven to see this come to fruition
