Thanks lads,
Just released from the Tara Jctn paint shop is 215,complete with the new Irish rail logo and refurbished bogies,
It is seen here on trial before being allocated to the Mk4 set.
215
Early morning at the running shed sees all three grey liveried 071 loco's getting fuelled and serviced for their day ahead,
The loco controller has allocated 011071 to the empty timber train,while 011078 will be allocated to the IWT and 011077 to the DFDS CPW liner
A typically rural irish scene well captured there Eamonn,
I've no doubt it will be the star attraction for young and old at the vintage show
Good luck with it and well done.
Another visiting set of wagons in the shape of some excellent built Tara mines bogie wagons have been put to the test on the layout
Here are a few photos of them behind various locos

Finished the Park royal in between watching the hurling and Grand Prix...
Here we see 1390,1379 and 3173 hauled by 183 on a GAA match special
Note the gricer armed with a camera in the doorway of 1390....a great vantage point..!!
