And the wanderer is still taking photos out that window.... Thanks jhb, i am working on an RPSI steam special for the future. Thanks bantree,as you can see I like lots of activity.with passenger and freight trains operating around the four track circuit,I now have the added bonus of shunting at the Lakeview freight yard...

Hi Enda- the Sperry/weed spray train are from the Irish freight models range. Hi Raymond-they were copied from old CIE/IR timetabes which I collect and were scaled up or down to suit the layout.

The 2018 operating season started with the RPSI running a charter utilising their Craven coaches and BR GSV 3185 being hauled by B141. It also saw retro 071 shunt the bogie spoil wagons to the loop platform to allow the release of the Sperry/weed spray train for its first tour of the system, The spoil wagons were later collected by 0117078.

An excellent choice and era JHB,I am personally delighted that you are proceeding with your layout, I'm sure you won't regret it, Looking forward to seeing Dugort harbour develop and the best of luck with it.

Done ,best of luck gentlemen.

Happy Christmas from the management and staff of a very busy Tara Junction..... A selection of images from an extensive Christmas eve operation

Thank you gentlemen for your comments, I forgot to mention I replaced the wipers on NIR loco 112 with some etched ones-they are a big improvement on the originals which can be seen on 8113, 073 has the etched ones also.

Some operating fun on Tara junction earlier,retro 073 arrives at the Lakeview freight yard with the empty timber train, Now we know what the postman was waiting for....NIRs.112+8113 in multiple working mode operate the IE bogie spoil wagons seen here waiting for the up Enterprise-9001+8208 to overtake. Enterprise loco 209 is a rare sight on the two axle ballast hopper wagons-which are seen being shunted to the per way sidings

Excellent work Noel, just the right amount of weathering which is not overdone-look forward with interest to your 3173 conversion

The latest 071 loco to be released to traffic after its bodywork overhaul is 083. It is seen here at Portarlington ballast loading sidings coupled to the HOBS set.
-
A nocturnal view of the new Lakeview container freight depot at Tara junction,With over sixty containers to choose from-it certainly is going to be a busy place for freight and shunting movements.... CIE loco 161SA is the yard pilot and is seen here awaiting its next turn of duty, Thanks to Baseboard Dave for supplying the fantastic tower lights, highly recommended.

The ever versatile class 08 diesel shunter no 08 672 makes a welcome addition to the Ashburton grove locomotive fleet.
-
The new bogie spoil wagons are being loaded with spent ballast from a recent overnight ballast cleaning project at the junction, they are being hauled by loco 080.

Yes Rich,That was indeed myself in 3173 while working the Ballina branch- it was the morning shift.

Delighted to have met the both of you at Warley and best of luck with your new venture.

Hi Des, I'll take one too as I am fortunate to have worked GSV 3173 both in IE and RPSI ownership.
