[ So what's the green Belmond one? The "Seasick"? The Incredible Hulk livery.....

After arriving in Waterford with the DFDS CPW liner,loco 216 was attached in to the empty timber which was bound for Westport, Here we see 216 diverted via Tara Jctn with the empty timber. 083 passes light engine on the up road and 0117076 idles over on the per-way sidings. 2607+2608 has arrived in the bay platform with a local service.

I better get the finger out and get this done before the end of the summer....

Yes-something similar.

Belmond nominated loco 216 goes on a trial run with the DFDS CPW liner-see here passing through Tara Jctn station.

And here is a photo of the loco taking on water at Enniscorthy .

Kieran-you should invest in one of the Viessmann tampers-you won't regret it....!!! It would look great on your layout.

Lovely video Kieran-really like the track panel train, Well done.

Any news or update on the 121s or the surprise project???

Lovely work well done Eamonn.

Impressive weathering in particular on 077,just right and not overdone-well done.

Looking forward to your projects and good luck with them Raymond.

Late night operations at the MPD sees 56 074 in for fuel,oil and water while the HST set undergoes a B exam in the shed.

I'm half way through this book,its a very good and interesting read.

47 535 arrives into the up loop with a Mk3 test train, It will run around its train here when traffic permits. After running around its train 47 535 awaits the road, In the meantime a London bound HST races by.

New arrivals at Ashburton grove.... 47 535 works a Mk3 set being passed on the down line by 56 070 working a railtour comprising of Mk1 stock On the fuelling point is Class 46- 46001.

Thanks gents, After receiving some collision damage to its skirt loco 8208 is seen here in the running shed being attended to by the fitters, The replacement skirt is being hoisted up by the works forklift and will be fitted over the next couple of hours of the night shift. Loco 0117076 is in for fuel,oil and water while loco 216 will be released to traffic for a trial run tomorrow.

All hail our glorious leader.... Happy birthday Stephen.

Best of luck with this new project Gerry, Having only visited the real Llangollen railway last weekend for the first time,you certainly captured the place very well in miniature form,so I have no doubt your new layout will be much the same standard. .

Coach is fitted with a Guards emergency brake valve-a compartment at one end of a Cravens coach which could be accessed via a carriage key and contained a brake valve and a vacuum brake dial, A Guard could start train from that coach if it was the rearmost vehicle in the formation,and conduct a brake continuity test, 1558 was one of two coaches fitted with this apparatus and was generally allocated to the Limerick-Linerick Jctn shuttle until replaced by railcars, We then had that coach for a number of years on the Ballina branch train until withdrawal. I remember taking a photo of the compartment I must try and dig it out.
