    Didn't you hear? Their spit roasting a pig too...

    I have a feeling you might lose a pound of flesh Kev..

    That's very interesting Leslie,.. She might have hung around for another year or two, lying idle most of the time(like Macha) doing the occasional freight until the beet season came.. She would have been out of service by late 59/60? Macha, meanwhile was out of service at glanmire road until 62/3, when she was retubed for a rail tour This one, probably She looks in fairly bad Shape at this stage..a sad sight

    'This is the IRM home service, and this is the news' The IRM moderator known as Garfieldsghost, or Pat has made a statement that an important announcement is to be made at about 9pm tonight, so folks make sure to tune in to frequency 800 for the important message. In other news I had to save a sheep that got stuck in a fence..

    So this pic would be taken before she was in Thurles...wonder if she was ever used between the period of this pic and 64 If not, Macha was the last 800 to see service..

    Maybe in 20 or 30 years we will see one being built by some kind of trust I'd love to see a J26 A Bandon would be very useful in preservation too...

    I don't think it could possibly get worse than seeing an 800 in the scrap line...
  8. GSR 800
    I would have loved to see that myself.. The other thing I'd like to have seen is the double, or even triple heading out of at kilbarry, along with an 800 defieing Irish train logic..
  9. GSR 800
    Not anymore says you! Although that sounds like something early season Sheldon would say...

    Why!?.. http://www.flickriver.com/places/Ireland/Dublin/Dublin+10/recent/ About half way down..jaysus..
  11. GSR 800
    certainly a strange one... i wonder if there are any from the West..the folk being quite superstitious
  12. GSR 800
    This is appropriate for the situation...
  13. GSR 800
    indeed...but its history is very interesting too. As much as i love CIE steam, its not as attractive as the GNR with its graceful, yet powerful 4-4-0s with their blue livery.. although CIE green looks excellent, espiecally on the 800s I've never seen a colour photo of the 400s or 500s in green though..

    Good one:D

    Mmm..bit of a soft spot for the narrow gauge..and one for the GNR..the thought of the VS snorting and puffing by gets the modelling mojo running again!
  17. GSR 800
    +1 A great vid Kieran,Woolwich heaven!
  18. GSR 800
    I think if you go to thread tools and click on subscribe, it will alert you of any replies Not sure though...

    Good luck on the new setup Dave More space for more baseboard awesomeness:tumbsup:
  20. GSR 800
    I know this thread is old...but that is a great story You should seriously make a book on those stories, if you haven't already John.. "warrenpoint? How can a warren be pointy?" Love it
  21. GSR 800
    Vision isn't great in a steamer anyway! But,strangely it does have a weird attraction to it.. It's a mixture of nostalgia, uniqueness and the fact that it looks in a desperate state Also that it would be really fun to build
  22. GSR 800
    A remarkable story indeed.. One or two of his pics of the turf burner ended up in Tom Ferris 'A Second Glance' including one of her Fresh out of inchicore, in green (although it looks blue!) The entire project is fascinating..although poor Aul 356 would probably think otherwise! Poor thing..
  23. GSR 800
    I might have a H van and a beet Leslie...
  24. GSR 800
    Alright, I think it's time to clear the cobwebs from this"haunted" thread:p As its approaching Halloween again, has anyone got some more creepy stories?
  25. GSR 800
    Wasn't he charged with being the photographer during the build? I don't know if it was Leader or CC1 though..
