How about kettles in Black & Tan livery?

Temporary, as the platform & trackbed will need to be raised when the nearby bridge over the river is raised. Some dose had objected to the bridge being raised, even though this was the recommendation listed in a flood prevention scheme. The decision was made to install the bridge deck, so progress on the line could be made, then come back to raise it & the approaches at a later date

It's weird - I am fully sure that I saw the exact same slideshow presented by Ken previously. Crazy sense of deja-vu watching last night, that just grew the further into the show

"The Limerick to Foynes rail line, opened in the 1850s, has undergone significant phases of growth, decline and near abandonment, saved by export ore from Silvermines. By 2001, the line was disused. But now it has been rehabilitated and due to reopen by autumn 2026. Hassard Stacpoole, a Co. Limerick native, seasoned railway professional, and Railway Magazine’s Irish Correspondent, will present an overview of the line's historical significance and periods of decline. He will examine the current rebuilding and reopening, providing insights into the restoration process and what lies ahead for this vital route."
