Thank you Stephen

A new addition to the motive power fleet at Tara junction is a Sulzer 101 B class locomotive-(thanks to Wrenneire.) 107 is seen here shunting the IRM two axle bulk cement wagons into position for unloading at the Lakeview freight yard, 107 is confined to shunting duties at the freight yard a duty it is sharing with 161. It is fitted with an eight pin Zen DCC chip with a stay alive capacitor and runs well, even at a slow speed, The locomotive is in Supertrain colours and I have given it a light weathering to the body and bogies.

Best of luck with your new project Jason.

Gents, Now that your announcement about the release of the A/001 class locomotives is just over a week old, what locomotives are proving a popular choice so far?

Shortly after the Arrow departed from platform one 087 weaves its Supertrain set of MK3s across the point work and into the platform..... The second photo shows passengers waiting for the Guard to enable the automatic doors to allow them to board..

2601+2602 are seen here at platform one at Tara junction with a commuter service from Kildare to Heuston. The railcar has been fitted with a sound chip.

Some activity from an enjoyable evening at the junction earlier... After its tour of the layout 0117076 arrives back with the Sperry and weed spray train, shortly afterwards 0117078 arrives with a HOBS set and is seen here running around the train and propelling it to the siding, 071 passes with an empty timber train to Ballina, while retro liveried 2600 railcar 2601+2602is stabled between duties on platform one. Over at the MPD the fueller advises the depot controller of the amount of fuel that locomotive 221 has received, before its release back to traffic .

Having been transferred from the Limerick junction Divisional engineers department over the last few days P&C Tamper 750 is seen here shortly after arrival being examined by the Permanent way inspector and his deputy at the per way sidings.

Due to a driver shortage, an unusual movement took place earlier when 56 074 was added to the front of 2x20s which were hauling the freight liner in order to return it to the MPD for examination.

The permanent way department took delivery of some new track maintenance machinery, It is seen here being tested under the supervision of the chief inspector, In the background the Hydrema dump trucks deliver ballast to the waiting JCB excavator, and in the fore ground some re-railing is taking place using the new machinery.

Belmond - Haul only or push pull?
ttc0169 replied to Noel's topic in What's happening on the network?
On Sundays shortly after arrival at Connolly station from Dundalk, the Belmond locomotive 216 is swapped as it is scheduled to receive an exam at Inchicore running shed, An 071 locomotive is allocated to work the train forward from Connolly to Waterford and back to Bagnalstown and then the following morning return the Grand Hibernian to Heuston, After 216 has received its exam on Sunday or Monday it is coupled to the Grand Hibernian Mk3s to work the train again from the Tuesday afternoon departure from Heuston to Cork.
