More yellow stuff pics coming soon!

If there was, I wouldn't able to tell you, sorry.

Your welcome & thanks.

It works alright tony. Some power in the cutter too, as it's hydraulic. Also, very nice photos, sometimes the PWay stuff can be ignored in favour of locos and stock, so kudos for documenting it like this

Are you sure, ?I've been told different.

A guy in marks models once told me that a guy from England will being buying some coaches & locos from Irish Rail & will be converting them to be used as a Pullman train to go on long rail tours all across the island of Ireland, at the cost of between €500-€1000 per ticket. If this is true, may that man hurry up and save some mk3s.

fire away...

Here yea go, not the best shots in the world, but I'm sure you'll like it

Above is a ex - Translink NI Railways tamper converted into a hedge cutter (which no longer works).

If it's yellow, heirflick'll like it.

I think I've spotted that!

I think there was a class, 141 & 171, don't shout at me if I'm wrong

I watched and photographed her when she arrived, due to stupid bus timetables,I missed her unloading

All my pics are up on http://www.flickr.com/tonybonneybatrainphotos

Would you like see pics of the hedge cutter?

you are the goodest!

Above is the Plasser type 7 No. 7 tamper ( work still being down to keep her going!).

beautiful babies the lot!!! great pics and thanks for posting...cant get enough of the little buggers!!

Why thank you! There will more pics of these babies soon!

Here's an idea for Iarnód Éireann, convert 8-10 mk3s into a royal train for "high ups" or important people as when the G8 (I think that's what it was) all the important people had to travel by bus, meaning no buffet car, no 1st + / city gold and no toilet facitlys. Where as ( let's say the queen ) visits Belfast & decides while she's on the island of Ireland, she wants too visit cork & Dublin, instead of wasting money on planes & land rovers when they can travel by train, a royal train. What do you think of that idea?

Hi all, I have some photos of some yellow Machinces for those who like the big yellows.

Above is the EX-Translink NI Railways USP 3000 C ballast regulator as seen at Downpatrick & County Down Railway

There's one thing that bugs a lot of train spotters more than cafs, & that's that 209 is never up north. I doesn't bug me, part from she still on on my to see list. If she spends that much time down South, why doesn't <\\>Iarnód Éireann Irish Rail buy her off Translink NI Railways and put on new logos & a new livery etc?

But nice vids!

We could do with one of these at Downpatrick.....

Nice pics!

Don't the Irish ones (the real ones) have buffers?

They sure do!

This is a ex nir type 07 tamper No.07 and has a GM engine in her.

Note: part of this cab is a little cleaner now.

Was it tamped right?

I don't have one, but when I looked at pictures, they looked glued on.

Tony.....you really need a holiday - and loads of beer!!!

No, I'm under age for beer, what I need is a nice long journey in a c4k or even a c3k on a quite day.

Hi all, I've renctley been listening to the old theme tones of TTTE. But all the engines have their own theme tone so they do, my point is, what would the enterprise theme tone sound like if 8208 stared in TTTE?

I know at least some one here has to like TTTE.

Here is a video I found of Doundald & dougles theme:
