  1. Hi all, As can be seen by the shot below the Irish Summer may have arrived so with the fine weather I popped up to Gormanston to photograph the lunchtime activity. Apart from seeing NIR 3003 and 3001 operating an Enterprise service I also got to see 081 and 084 on the Taras, 8208 on the Enterprise and the usual mix of 22000 and 29000 DMUS. Pictures start below and continue on: http://smu.gs/KCgHpC Enjoy!
  2. ^Some lovely shots there.
  3. Not sure exactly but I think it is the same problems as before. I believe it took two hours to do Connolly to Dundalk. Orange/black 084 has returned to the Taras this week in Ireland: Also some other shots from the last week including 221 on the IWT liner and 081 on the Tara are now online at the link below: http://smu.gs/Kyyiig Enjoy!
  4. Hi all 461 attempted to return home today with the RPSI Mark 2 set, but according to reports it only made it to Dundalk. Some shots of it in Dublin earlier today have now uploaded. 461 on the turntable at Connolly, a turn which was not without incident! And then passing through Killester later: The move of 5408 had to be cancelled and here is a shot of 8208 shunting it back into the carriage shed: Rest of the shots start here: http://smu.gs/Jbvkqo Enjoy!
  5. A slight addendum to yesterday's shots. First up is a video of 226 hauling 5408 and the RPSI Mark 2 rake out of Platform 5 at Connolly yesterday afternoon: And then a photo of NIR 8208 shunting the Presidential Mark 2 back into the carriage shed this morning:
  6. Some of those cats in NW are pretty well weathered as it is!
  7. Hi all, Have now uploaded some shots taken in Dublin Connolly yesterday which show the two RPSI active carriage sets. They show 226 with the Mark 2 set: Included on the set was the Presidential/State Carriage Mark 2, no. 5408, which is going to Whitehead today: Finally 206 is seen shunting the Craven set after its arrival back from the 'South Clare' tour: Rest of the shots can be found here: http://smu.gs/K9g86H Enjoy!

  11. Hi all, I have now uploaded some shots from yesterday and today. Yesterday's show 071 in North Wall with the weedsprayer on its way to Longford.

  15. Hi all, Today the weedsprayer operated from Portlaoise to Dundalk, via North Wall in Dublin. I managed to get a shot of 073 and the set passing through Balbriggan this lunchtime: http://smu.gs/JOQJlm Enjoy!
  16. Hi all, Two updates to Rail Scene Ireland from the weekend and today. First up are some shots taken on Saturday in Belfast and in the transport museum at Cultra: http://smu.gs/JDUfyM Then from today are a few shots from a very wet North Wall Yard in Dublin. These pictures include Enterprise locomotive 207 hauling Tamper 740 from Drogheda, and 085 with a wagon transfer: http://smu.gs/ItHbQa Enjoy!
  17. Hi all, The weedsprayer campaign for 2012 commenced this week, which when completed should have covered most of the Irish Rail network. Today it was down in Cork, covering the east Cork lines and I popped down to see some of the action. Due to the lack of run-round facilities at both Cobh and Midleton, two 071s were required to haul the set. I managed to get shots of it at Glounthaune and Midleton, with 073 and 080 the locomotives in use. Also included in the shots are some 2600s, the hybrid 26/27 set and a four piece 2800 visiting Cork. Pictures here: http://smu.gs/J1M3rK Enjoy!
  18. Hi all, Some shots from yesterday and today are now online. Yesterday sees orange/black 084 passing through Balbriggan. Today's sees 076 climbing out of North Wall to join the Northern Line as well as 218 on the IWT liner. Pictures here: http://smu.gs/IQsVNs Enjoy!
  19. I suppose I better repost the link to the collection I set up for modellers on my site:
  20. Hi all, I have now uploaded some pictures from last week. On Friday I spent the morning in Killester on Dublin's northside and saw the usual mix of DART units, 29000 DMUs and 081 on the Tara. Then on Saturday morning I popped along to the Curragh, just before Kildare, to see the usual fare of 22000s and 201s on Mark 4s, along with a 2800 DMU and 079 with the RPSI Cravens on the '171 for 171' tour. Pictures start here: http://smu.gs/Izdn0k Enjoy!
  21. Stunning looking model! I may seriously have to consider getting some of these.
  22. Just thought I'd pop in and say hello, and look forward to see how site develops.
