I think that was a common sight at the time of the loose coupled goods , on this Rail tour B132 was on the goods as it took over the train due to a problem with the steam loco B132 complete with 3 link coupling hanging from the lamp bracket.

There are some in the O'Dea Collection Holdings: B234 on 9 railcars, Sallins, Co. Kildare. :: Library Catalog Holdings: B234 and GM on 5.45, Hazelhatch, Co. Kildare. :: Library Catalog Holdings: B233 on 545, Hazelhatch, Co. Kildare. :: Library Catalog

There is also a picture on the cover of Journal 193 of B189 leading B234 at Sallins on an up Limerick in Dec 1965.

I think they worked up and down to Limerick on a Sunday possibly as a way of swapping them they worked the Limerick- Athy cements . Not just could they actually did work in multiple with the B141 /181's.

Put my money where my mouth is and have ordered 4 C231, B233 , B225 and Supertrain 234 can’t believe I will be able to run a Maybach C class with a B141 B&T fantastic stuff !

We can but hope.

Looking forward to it Paul.

I too am delighted to see the C class finally announced and a great follow on from the A class and NIR 101's they also fill a big gap in the Irish diesel story spanning the 50's 60's 70's and 80's a must for anyone modelling that era. Growing up along the Dublin suburban in the 1970's the C class transplants were part of the scenery they certainly hold great memories for me so I certainly will order 3 or four to add to my collection . Would love to have seen the Maybach version in Supertrain livery but perhaps in another batch .

So it’s both it must have been fitted during the time it had the green livery .

I don’t think it had the carriage heating connector until later not in green livery ?

And the issue may not just be the customs now a lot of suppliers have to conform with EU product traceability requirements and this can be difficult for smaller suppliers.

You find that the supplier in the UK may not ship to NI .

Great to see you and chat to you again Paul and to see the GS&WR 50’ coach in the flesh is amazing .

Start saving!!!!!
