I have to apologise about some of the pics where you can see some underwear
There have been some burglaries in the parish and the thieves are targeting ladies underwear

Its not the loss of her drawers that is upsetting Granny Bracken, its the loss of the 10 pegs to hold each pair on the line!!!

Hi Noel what you say about the 201s is true. they are overweight and have a track busting axle load. This,combined with Irelands confusing railcar programme made them virtually useless ( par the Dublin -Cork )I think IE believed that,with the huge amount of money in peoples pockets in the 90s-2000s they would need these engines for pulling new longer loads. 10 to 12 car sets was what they thought would be the norm.Now they are after figuring out this many commuters would never happen and have"eased off the throttle"The 22000 class was the answer

Yes the weight was a problem and not long after there introduction there was talk by John mc Carthy C.M.E at Inchicore about a upgrade to self steering bogies .

But the engines where not reliable. lots of trouble .it was talk that the inheritance of the 201 fleet numbers from the x C Class put a curse on them. there where problems with bogie cracks

EMD (now Cat) Moved into Inchicore at the time .They had there own port cabin outside diesel 1 .

The Head end power on the Belfast enterprise was a disaster something that has killed a few . Via rail Canada on rebuilding there f40 put an independent generator set at the back end .
