  1. I visited this exhibition earlier and can highly recommend it, A great selection of layouts on show and some excellent bargains to be had at the various trade stands-(thank you Seamus Graham) Layouts that done it for me were Rathmichael OO gauge,Joseph's bridge OO gauge,Heathfield and Llangollen N gauge. Nice to meet baseboard Dave, Murrayec and Brian Collins with his excellent range of road vehicles-looking forward to his future release of the Bus Eireann Expressway liveried SP111.
  2. Looking forward to this exhibition-always well organised, and easy to get around :tumbsup:best of luck to all concerned.
  3. When I seen it in Inchicore a few years ago it was gutted,I'll dig out the photos I took of her for you, I honestly thought she would never run again, I have very fond memories of her working Ballina branch trains 10 years or so ago-it was a regular performer on the branch set along with 079.
  4. Released to traffic last week after an absence of nearly four years out of service-and at one stage thought to be one of the first 071s that was about to be scrapped, Here we see a refurbished 0117087 coupled to the IWT liner in Ballina freight yard.
  5. Yes Railer-the real 080 has received the bodywork overhaul and is soon to enter the paint shop at Inchicore for the slate grey livery to be applied, Thanks Andy,Kieran and Eamonn
  6. Friday night freight on Tara junction sees from the right 7071 haul the DFDS CPW liner,7077 haul the IWT liner, 7078 the empty timber and 7080 operating light engine to collect the HOBS train, On the left in the distance at the MPD 7076 is getting fuel,oil and water-it will be sent out on a trial run in the morning and if all goes well I'll allocate it to the Sperry train for a few days.
  7. Absolutely stunning work,well done Richie...
  8. Nice one Andy-GVS is still looking great.
  9. Seamus-On the way down in Athy from 11:25-11:45,and on the return-again in Athy from 16:00-16:47-is probably the closest to you
  10. Seamus-those rails are clamped temporarily and are waiting to be welded together.
  11. A disaster for Waterford from a passenger operations point of view-unless access in the form of a crossover is provided from the former main platform to connect with the new arrival/departure road at the end of the new extended platform, but somehow I can't see that happening at this stage.
  12. Supertrain Sunday sees 087 pass 084 with a down express, 152 is the carriage pilot loco, Over on the left 085 has charge of the pallet cement liner and 181+166 wait with the ammonia in the loop to allow an up Mk3 passenger overtake. Transfers are from the Railtec range.
  13. A busy Sunday afternoon with various types of buses coming and going while a Mk2 Supertrain speeds underneath...
  14. Afternoon lads...Sunday engineering works on Tara junction sees a top n tailed HOBS train with 078 leading and 082 trailing while on the opposite line tamper 751 does a bit of badly needed tamping.
  15. Interesting survey-also completed..
  16. Electrifying progress now Paul......
