I don't recognise it as mine and it isn't on my online images of 4004. Plus it looks like that was taken in Inchicore and I don't put Inchicore pictures online. Following I.E. guidelines.

Rolling Stock will not be "rebranded" unless it is due a repaint. This is a "low cost" rebranding people!

Evening all, Weekend Pictures: - Portarlington of 086 stabled with a Ballast Train. - Red and Green Line LUAS at Abbey St, St. Stephens Green and Ranelagh. - Heuston Station on Sunday afternoon http://smu.gs/13WKvuz On Saturday afternoon I walked the route of the proposed LUAS BXD Line between Parnell St. and St. Stephen Green getting a number of "before" photographs before construction of the tramline starts later in 2013. The route between Parnell Street and Broombridge will be photographed at a later date. http://smu.gs/ZsJ6XB The Wanderer.

And what a brilliant day that was 227 I think it was.

Monday morning and another trip to Dublin with photos from Connolly and Heuston plus LUAS trams in the Busaras and Connolly area. A nice tip off to receive was that 4017 was at Heuston for a photoshoot featuring its new AOA for e mobile. Once complete the tram operated empty Heuston - Connolly - Red Cow and I photographed it at Connolly. http://smu.gs/W56mKv Enjoy! The Wanderer.

It wasn't a official shoot. Right time right place photo, which looks good in a industrial landscape. IE asked me could they acquire the use of the photo. I didn't know it was going to appear on billboards around the country! I nearly crashed the car driving into the shopping centre in Portlaosie when I saw it out of the corner of my eye.

Evening all, Further to Finbarr's photo of the Iarnrod Eireann Freight Billboard outside Cork Kent, one has appeared at Laois Shopping Centre in Portlaoise. http://smu.gs/UhYM3w The Wanderer.

Day off work, wasn't out over the Christmas Period so I thought why not! Original picture of the Daffy should answer all your questions. All I say is after that day I was cold and wet.

Evening all, The first photos of the New Year are from Kyle Crossing North of Limerick Jct. plus Oola, Dromkeen and Woodfarm between Limerick Jct. and Limerick. http://smu.gs/U5ZC2Y The Wanderer.

Evening folks, A rather busy weekend just gone in the Dublin area. On Saturday 112 hauled failed 8208 from Belfast York Road to Connolly for repairs in Inchicore. 075 brought the failed loco from Connolly to Inchicore. The convoy was pictured at Balbriggan. After Balbriggan it was over to the Maynooth Line to photo 461 on the 2nd Santa Special of the day. After waiting with Finnyus at Pike Bridge to nearly 1500hrs with no sign of the special I returned to the car to collect the mobile phone and discovered via text that the locomotive had been declared a failure in Pearse and 083 was going to haul the train to Maynooth. The Saturday special was photographed at Pike Bridge and Collinstown. On Sunday I visited Malahide to photograph 207 crossing the causeway with the 1300 Dublin Connolly - Belfast Central and then it was off to Leixlip Louisa Bridge for 076 on the 1355 Pearse - Maynooth RPSI Santa Special. The return special was photographed at Collinstown. All the photos from the weekend are now online at: http://smu.gs/SAiwhV Enjoy, The Wanderer.

:tumbsup: On Wednesday 12th December the 1840 Heuston - Portlaoise was worked by 229 + 7MKIV set 4001 after it was failed before departure of the 1800 to Cork. http://smu.gs/SdxI4j The Wanderer.

It looks like there was a shortage of CPW's. The CPW rake was normally 12 wagons. In this video there is only 10 wagons so it looks like the two LP's were added to bring it up to 12 wagons.

I never did get around to finding out what the reason behind them was.

Rich, I assume so!! The final weekend pictures from Kerry see 22035 at Killarney with the 1345 Tralee - Heuston. http://smu.gs/X1vpxI The Wanderer.

Evening folks, Some photos from Thurles, Killarney and Farranfore on Friday and Saturday. http://smu.gs/TSg3Ls The Wanderer.

Tuesday 04/12/12 072 brought a train of Per-Way wagons as a 1210 Limerick - Portlaoise Per-Way Yard transfer. http://smu.gs/THp8qe The Wanderer.

Brilliant!

I heard in the new year. I assume sometime in January or February but don't shot the messenger if it hasn't happened by then!! Thanks @ boskonay.
