Thanks Paul for sharing the fantastic photos of the 121s, Well done to Paddy Murphy for his perseverance and patience with the 121 project-it has taken a long time to get to this stage-(through no fault of Paddy)-but thankfully there are headlights at the end of the tunnel now and I am really looking forward to the release of these models-and the 001s in due course Now back to Tara junction for a site survey to make space for the 121s and 001s.....

As evening time descends on the locomotive stabling point at Tara junction-the floodlights come on to light up the area, as are the red lights on the rear of the locomotives, I wonder will the locomotive fleet controller allow 088 work the oil tank transfer ? 156+183 work a pallet cement train past the locomotive stabling point.

With the ever increasing locomotive fleet and the forthcoming models of the 121 and 001 class locomotives the new wheel lathe was installed over the weekend at the MPD on Tara junction, Here we see locomotive 0117072 become the first locomotive to use the facility, The CME observes proceedings as they prepare to move 072 onto the lathe, Here are a few photos of the operation.
