Was talking to paddy at blackrock show I asked him abt plans on redoing hobs he said he didnt have any The mk3s like a lot of us cant wait to get our hands on them, forgot when but i remember him telling me he was at moyasta measuring marts and had his grandson help get into the awkward parks of the rolling stock

Good on u Someone needs to get that cowboy off that bull

Idk if anyone has pictures of 6105, restaurant car and standard mk3s being delivered to their glamping site

Its said to be in limerick works now but idk if thats still the case

That is intresting I remember being in inchicore in 2018 and seeing a mk3 gen van i dont know the number as i was only 10

Completely agree If those gricers and 12 year old trainspotters were in here, they be loads of "they all should of been pweeservedd" bs and have 0 logic abt it even it being something worth investing in and the cost of getting it to a heritage line and maintaining it

Location is a good point most logical is inchicore Ofcourse as DCDR is stuffed as it is with preserved stock and for the demand for more, its not exactly critical but also worth keeping volunteers hands dirty weather it be the RPSI DCDR or someone else in the future Below is the pic of 162 before it got chopped up it was very filthy inside both cabs and all that was left was the body and bogies like what @228RiverOwenboy said it had been stripped of all valuable/useful parts and 175 in Connolly taken during work experience few days before slieve gullion did the maynooth run

This topic is about where the mk3s went and where they were scrapped from push/pulls and dining cars to standard and EGV generators all from HST's BREL's and in kits at inchicore Personally Mark 3s were nostalgic growing up seeing them all lined up awaiting scrapage or be sent to england from the point square shooing centre cafe next to the cinema which did and still does have the best view of the yard Even though there final days of service and awaiting the hungry scrapman, they are still admired apon to this day From what i know 4 EGVs are on the enterprise and the 3 at Moyasta are gone to a glamping site(s) in the UK I know others were bought back by BR and other privatized lines but where exactly?

Sure look wont be surprised the likes of 171 175 and 177 follow the same path but they might get bought out by an anonymous enthusiast or DCDR catch one or 2 before the scrapman like pokemons

Brilliant layout of the withdrawal dates and info I wonder what lead to the decision of 144 to be scrapped I remember seeign 162 before being diced up and it was noting but the body and bogies a year ago ill see if i can find a photo for u

Booterstown also got a bin witht he plug logo on it very few across the country That’s the door u are on abt and the bin next to the old waiting hut and caught a modern bin with the old dart logo on it

I thought he was on abt IE diesel 171 thats in inchicore alongside 175 and 177

Was inside the cab when they were open for the european heritage week couldnt get over the height getting out

Do u mean 071?
