Awaiting refurbished bogies......

Superb modelling-one of the best and most detailed layouts I have ever seen-a few of the ECM produced DART units would finish this scene off very well. Looking forward to more updates.

After a derailment in Ballina in 1999 the wagons were withdrawn from service and a set was stored on the Ballinrobe siding in Claremorris,they were there for about six months before they were worked back to Northwall where they were scrapped.

Wexford Model Railway Club Exhibition Easter 2018
ttc0169 replied to Irishrailwayman's topic in What's On?
Well done to all concerned, I enjoyed the exhibition and chatting to various friends-it was well worth the four hour 182 mile trip.. -
Thanks Robert-its a GM power unit swapped from a 181 class locomotive......... Thanks Noel,yes six bogies are fine but I could increase to eight in particular for the forthcoming Tara wagons.

After a prolonged time out of service with traction motor problems 201 C Class loco 226 received an A exam at the MPD and after a request from the CME,the loco was given an out road trial hauling some laden bogie fertiliser wagons, With a trailing weight of nearly 300 tonnes 226 is seen here passing through the station-the trial was a success and 226 returned to the regular locomotive pool.

216 returned south from NIR last week hauling the bogie spoil wagons, it is seen here arriving at Tara junction where it ran around the wagons and propelled them to the siding. The S+E department were busy too installing the Train Tech ground shunt signals at various locations around the yard.....the one in the photo is interlocked with the points which lead to the Lakeview freight yard.. And finally Lakeview freight yard sees both retro liveried locomotives 071 and 073 arrive and prepare to depart with the IWT liner (071) and the DFDS liner (073) Happy Easter to all viewers of Tara Junction.

Absolutely Superb- well done again gentlemen, the rotating axle caps really capture the actions of the prototype, You have really put the main model manufacturer's to shame with this standard and level of detail and accuracy. And an order has now been placed........

Hi Northman,I'm not sure of the actual size of the washer-I got them off Jim in Mark models in Dublin.

In readiness of a busy 2018 for the RPSI a number of the Cravens coaches were brought in to the MPD for examination. The purpose of the work was to fit washers to the bogies to improve the ride quality, It was a busy morning at the MPD when the team of volunteer's under the instructions of Stephen and Joe shunted the first coach 1505 into position by loco 076 in order for the jacks to lift it off its bogies, All went well and as the following images show the work was completed in a short time, Thanks must go to the Irish rail CME team who facilitated and assisted with the work.

I received my 42' LX wagon about a week ago-I was impressed about the quality and finish of the material, It was an easy model to finish after priming and painting and the bogies were fitted, Here are two photos of the nearly finished wagon with transfers and couplings left to be done. I would have purchased more but thanks to the team at IRM I will wait until their model is released.

0117077 is seen here in Lakeview freight yard with the DFDS CPW liner The driver has by propelled the liner back to allow ease of loading by the reach stacker, All this is taking place while under the watchful eyes of the yard supervisor.

Technically it was classified as -"Spark proof brake blocks" even though it wasn't the brake blocks at all- but the plating that covered the bogies......
