I visited it a while ago, it was being repainted then - I recall the owner said that his father used to live in it. GNR 6-Wheeler There's also a lovely example of a GNR full brake in Blackrock, c.1880s again; any more info on it would be useful. Last wooden full brake in Ireland, perhaps, not including GSWR 69? GNR Full Brake Please note that I didn't go around jumping fences into people's back gardens to look at carriages! There was a GNR third at Ballyroney station in very bad condition until about this time last year

Did anyone ever hear of the Silver Princess?

Absolutely amazing, JB, can't thank you enough Does that say that 1097 was built in 1911?

Remnants of the black'n'tan / supertrain / orange & black era...
Jawfin replied to jhb171achill's topic in General Chat
144, 175, 162, 177, 147, 171, and 134 are all in the Intercity 'tippex' livery in Inchicore, and 141 is in black and tan. And there's 6105, 7146, 6402, 4402, 4108, 4110, A3R, 124, 152, and 190 in Moyasta as well, don't forget, C226 at Carrick-on-Suir, G613 and 146 at Downpatrick, 142 at Whitehead, 3185 in Inchicore, and so on. There are other coaches here and there with black and brown/orange as well - 3189 and 6111 at Downpatrick, 3163, 5408 (and I think 5106?) at Whitehead, 1558 and 6205 at Naas, etc. -
Think it was all of the MK III composties, as opposed to some of the firsts
-
Thanks very much all
-
Thanks very much, both. Sorry, I wasn't very clear, I meant the building dates of 752 and 753 - but that info is very useful as well Were members of the original enterprise MK II fleet scrapped after the new ones were purchased? Were they in bad need of replacement or what?
-
Hello all Does anyone happen to know why NIR purchased coaches 752 and 753 from BR, along with so many other MK IIs in the '80s? In addition, is anyone aware of when the two DVTs were built?
-
Don't think it looks like a Metro-Vick, and the Sulzers were all stopped from traffic in the 1970s... Maybe it's a bit of foreign footage that got put in by accident?
-
Speaking of which, anyone have any idea when abouts it was withdrawn?
-
Thanks very much, JB - very useful information
-
Hello all Pretty vague question here, but is anyone able to provide a bit of a history to the D&K coach in Cultra? A few sources I've read about it conflict a bit

-
Thanks very much all I presume that the freight was vacuum, from the name - are 80s not air?
-
Hello all Is anyone aware of any non-passenger work done by the NIR 80 class when they were in service? I can only think of a few examples - 90 hauling 458 to York Road a few years ago, 67 (I think?) hauling the DHs, and again 90 shunting about 728. Can anyone think of any more?
-
Thanks very much. Shame the works plates don't show the actual year they were built Here's some photos of the test train the other night (not mine)
-
Thanks very much both Funny how NIR own them all - any reason for that? Does anyone happen to have the particular year in which they were built, on that note? I think it looks ok, not exactly striking - the purple and red make it noticable but not exactly memorable, if you know what I mean.
-
Thanks very much Why/when were they renumbered twice? And does that mean they're all owned by NIR now, since they're all odd numbered?
-
Hello all Does anyone know which of the MK III generators were re-numbered which for the Enterprise? As in, 9608 was 7613 and so on (that's the only one that I know for sure)
-
Yes, but the key I mentioned - the DD services - don't have the star for reduced first class capacity
-
http://www.translink.co.uk/Services/Enterprise/Routes--Timetables/All-Timetables/ The ones with the '1' and the cutlery only are DD services
-
Thanks very much all
-
Hello all Awkward question here, but does anyone know any of the specific makeups of any of the 'Peace Trains' during the late '80s and '90s?
-
Thanks very much JB - I was wondering what that first coach was. Some coaches had TLA, meaning train line with through air brakes fitted. It was on around 8 BR (including 3189 at Downpatrick) vans for stock transfers and TPOs (including 2978 at Downpatrick) for easy transfer on freight trains.
-
Thanks very much all Possibly... It has a brake inside, but that would have been added in departamental service - quite a while after this S was applied (there's CIÉ green on top of the GSR red)
