Great photos - lovely atmosphere. I loved the old black & white tiles in Heuston

The sleepers & drainage look very poor in some of the shots - it'd need to be relaid & drainage work done if it was going to carry trains again. At least as a walkway, the alignment is preserved for possible future relaying

Council paid for the clearance work afaik

at least a walking track will preserve the alignment - not too much work to convert it back in the future should the need arise

Probably a walking/cycle track:

You mean this guy, "

" another one hits the dust, almost,

Wow - cue change of pants!

Yellow line? Don't be silly - that'd mean H&S, which we all know is unheard of in the U S of A!

One thing is for sure - it'd be a straightforward paintjob to achieve on a model. It would mean having to remove the grab rails on the cabs, if they are not going to be refitted to 071 (or 629000001001107100000112etc...)

Will SSM be doing the decals in the future?

While watching the Ireland v Austria match, every time I saw the Austrian keeper's kit, I thought of the new livery on 071! It even had the yellow warning panel! ;-)

...and the results of the tests were that the bus moved on into oblivion

Thank god! I had the misfortune of getting it into town from Nutgrove when it was running on the 16A route, and I don't know whether it was the driver or the bus, but it didn't exceed more than 30kph for the entire journey to Dame St.!

No negative, just the photo, but one of B109 here:

God I'd love a few Van Hool & KDs! Atlantean D would be sweet too of course!

I've pointed out the errors to them - they're usually fairly quick to correct, but they might have gone home now..

 

 

At least it's not PRSI..?

or PSNI!

Lovely weathering, and a great idea for the buffers too!

That fueling point looks the business too

Very nice!

Hi gang,

I was keeping an eye on it - would've went nicely with the one I have for the baby GMs.

I also picked up an original GM service manual for the baby GMs 567 engine

Looks fine to me!

Hard to beat a filthy baby GM!

store em at The Broadstone!

Big improvement there! As others have said - clear glazing would be a massive improvement.

Programmed the freesat box last night to record this - cheers for the heads up guys!

Done!

Its true

I was talking to "an employee" this evening and he showed me some pics on his phone

Also mentioned that the complete 071 fleet was being overhauled as we speak, had some pics of the work in progress

All going into Freight livery

The words "Eddie Stobart" were whispered

And I'm not buying pints!

Lets hope they don't start naming the locos after his 'conquests', like they do with the trucks!
