DiveController - no, they still run. Wednesday is the loaded train Thursday the empties Nice shots folks!

Good afternoon all, A final April update from me, with photos from both the 29th and 30th April. Wednesday, 29th April: Photos from Portlaoise, Heuston, Inchicore, Kildare and Sallins, featuring 4008, 078 and 218 amongst others. All photos can be seen here - Thursday, 30th April: Mainly photos from Portarlington with a couple from Kildare and Heuston. This sees 219 and 087 at Portarlington All photos can be seen here - Regards, Kieran

CAWS is on the Dublin-Cork, Dublin-Dundalk, Dublin-Maynooth and some parts of the Galway and Waterford routes. In all respects, bar signal indication repitition, it is the same as AWS. ATP is used for DART services but is being combined with CAWS at the moment (Howth branch and Maynooth - Enfield are fitted)

Equally here rebelred - although mine is photography and model railways! Spent about €1000 on camera equipment over the last year, and probably got about the same amount of stock stored away, waiting for me to get some solder! Still, you learn some great skills along the way - such as soldering!

Good afternoon all, A few photos from Portlaoise today, to get 233 on Cork line Mark 4 workings. All photos can be seen here - Regards, Kieran

I have a lot more Riversuir! The OpenBVE model of the 201 is based upon my photos (with permission). If anyone needs a detail of a 201, PM me as I see them every day at the moment!

Good afternoon all, A few photos from Wednesday and Thursday, with Monasterevin, Heuston and Portlaoise being the locations. 215 and 233 are the two locos featured. All of Wednesday's shots can be found here - All of Thursday's shots can be found here - Regards, Kieran

They have apid for the overhaul of 216 and another, as yet unidentified, 201. Locos will have IÉ Crew and be maintained and owned by IÉ

208 and 209 would be required on a daily basis for Enterprise work, so more likely 111-113, as they seem to spend most of their time idle

Good evening all, A few photos from Kildare and Heuston, including ICR's, 071's and 201's Full shet of shots can be found here - Regards, Kieran

Evening all, Some photos from yesterday's Engineering Works. The timetable was marred by various trespass incidents between Kidlare and Portarlington in the afternoon. Still, nice weather at least! Regards, Kieran

Nice work! I'd say grey primer for the body

Indeed, 206 is in the more complete livery, as seen at Portarlington: 8208 is the next one, currently in the works at Inchicore.

But would the sub even know it had caught a trawler?

Appears to be a replacement set of bogies Railer - possibly excess wear on the old ones --------- Evening all, An afternoon spent on the box at Islandbridge Jn, including ICR action, 229 on the afternoon IWT and 077 on a HOBS transfer Regards, Kieran

743 was a pure fluke Chevron - bearing in mind the first HOBS train was due into Newbridge at 0850-ish and 743 didn't leave (should be ahead of the HOBS) Kildare until 0911! The rest, you hear things around and just hope for the best!
