After coming home this afternoon I got to work Problems leech onto me when it comes to setting up tracks no matter how big or small and thankfully it was only one Lima tracks didn’t connect to the power track and made wood seem more conductive So I replaced them with horny bread track cleaned the tracks and dog hair before placing them And for something so complicated yet so worth it, it runs smoother than butter IMG_4391.mov IMG_4393.mov IMG_4395.mov

Been on the scout on how the old moyasta mk3s are doing at their new home
-
After a lot of grunts, moans and a lot of sweeping dog hairs The tracks connected gonna click it to the controller and then try think of ways to prevent dust and dog hair getting at it tomorrow

Long time since I was in this So long i thought I couldn’t find this About the 2 American locos, I loaned them to try fox but me being an amateur didn’t do too good of a job Wanna post a bit more on this as Connolly for the past while was giving me a headache from my own pressure on myself unsure where to start to balancing time with school So here I am after coming home from the MRSI to see the Christmas decorations starting to be put up So it’s that’s time of the year Out comes the Christmas train

British locos and stock that can be disguised as Irish
josh_ replied to Westcorkrailway's topic in Irish Models
Any good doner mk3s that he an identical body to the kit mk3s that ran here? -
theres always wood like the heritage lines in the states use on their western 4-4-0s But wood does burn quicker compared to coal

Thanks I was curious as we bought former HSTs and BREL mk3s from the UK and wondered if they were put up for sale i was told by Johnaton from DCDR and niall from tailte whos also from dcdr at SDMRC show that the mk3s and 6105 are at glamping sites in the Uk Im unsure if others that went to the Uk were to heritage lines if not the mainline
-
071.mp4 Here’s more from photographers and spotters that I had saved months back the only one I know is my own and that’s the model with IE black and silver 082 Was there any shipped to be used on the British main line like for HSTs or bought by the likes of LNER
-
Here’s more From David Walsh and a few other photographers and spotters that names I’ve forgotten Again feel free to correct me

I had a root around of just some pics I saved most are from David Walsh but I also have Mike Hughes, ciaran cooney and one or 2 other photographers There are some more around 2013/14 from a mate of mine sent onto me at north wall and Waterford

141 and 181 Class Fleet Withdrawal and Scrappage Dates
josh_ replied to 228RiverOwenboy's topic in General Chat
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 -
141 and 181 Class Fleet Withdrawal and Scrappage Dates
josh_ replied to 228RiverOwenboy's topic in General Chat
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 -
