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!

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.

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: [video=youtube_share;8MI_g2hulo4]

Love it!

Your very welcome

Another great (but said) video by Morgan Young of Wednesdays scraping [video=youtube_share;n5Yz25ljz9g]

Happy 30th (& one day ) Birthday dart!

Nice shot!

My friend Morgan made this video of Sundays transfer. It a good video.

Yea don't mind me coming down some day to have a look, as when I get part of adleade depot sorted, I hope to build a 201 in 7 1/4 gauge with the DD DVT.

Wha? Why!? Btw, is your profile pic of a 7 & 1/4 gauge class 110? & if so, where can I see it?

Ah, that's the one I was thinking of!

They did that as well.

Also, it looks like the man is wondering, "I wonder where Mr. Hamil is ".

NI Railways used to do that on cliffs, I think it was because that had that cancer thing that you can catch from old train wagons etc.

Does anyone if this is a ex mk3?? Seen in whitehead, June/July 2013

Oh, now that sounds good! If the itg get 6105, maybe it will head to Downpatrick at the DCDR.

What will they do with these one wonders? Myby a HSTT? (High Speed Test Train).

I just did a couple of days ago

Hi all, Tony here. A couple of weeks ago, I finally got the two Tonys transport DVTs planned (livery etc) The top one is a regauged Intercity 225 DVT named Jonathan. She does the Tonys Transport Belfast - Meganthreu express which passes Adelaide. She can be sometimes been seen doing the Bangor-Dublin Connolly Express runs or the Derry\Londonderry - Cork Runs via Dublin Houston. All though she is ex-intercity 225 and can do 225kmh, she won't be on any of her routes in Ireland. Her max speed permitted is 115mph in Ireland. The Second one is a custom DD DVT named Morgan. She does the Tonys Transport run from Derry\Londonderry - Cork via the Antrim branch & Dublin Houston otherwise if it's the second service (Every second service goes via Belfast & Meganthreu & not the Antrim Branch), she does Cork via Dublin Houston. She also does the other two routes time to time. Her train like the other TT express trains is a carpartment train which explains why the odd door arrangement. Her max speed is also 115mph but can do 125mph. Enjoy! Tony.
