She's a rail welder - as far as I can found out, she came to NIR in 1985, and was used to weld rail for continuous welded rail joints.

Does anyone have more data or photos on this unit?

Yep, was just looking at that exact one - 27" or so tall should give me lots of sky under the viaduct too...

Wow - they are gorgeous!! C-Rail should make them !

Stunning shots Rich - thanks a million! Hmmm, I see exactly what you mean about sky behind the viaduct, and you're right - It looks amazing!....... hmmmmm, back to the drawing board a bit on the backscene methinks!

Lol. I like where your heads at

Shergar? lol. Did find a few bits and a few more books. Maybe I'll think up some ideas for giveaways

A tidy up revealed I had several copies! Rehousing one was the least I could do.

Gone!! That was fast!!! Will pm details to HiddenAgenda! Mr quick off the mark!

The history of the Metro-Vick diesel family spanned the period 1955 to 1995. This book includes the history of the 20 BR pilot scheme Co-Bos (class 28), as well as the 94 Irish units. Beginning with a survey of all three classes of Metro-Vicks, it concludes with a 24-page colour section illustrating the livery variations over their 40-year life span. Detailed tables of building and withdrawal dates, dimensional tables and a survey of preserved examples are included. Mint condition, some great photos. Free to anyone willing to post me a stamped address envelope. (will need A4 envelope and 60c stamp ) PM me for address, first come, first served!

Sweet Gareth - can not wait!

Just stunning Anthony - I'll be hoping to achieve 10% of your standard under and around my viaduct!!

Does it look like this

I know! I'm still valiantly trying to resist the temptations of either turning a chunk of Amiens Street french (Avenue d'Amiens perhaps ), or starting something french in the shed! My poor wife would probably kill me

Lovely video John!
