Breaking news, Ireland's largest steam locomotive, CIE class B1a no.800 Meadbh has been stolen from the museum in Cultra, the locomotive is now on the Dublin Belfast line, at high speeds. We join Aengus mc Grainne in the newsroom. "Coughs" "fixes tie and suit" "mumbles"......WHAT? The men on board the locomotive were heard saying "bejasus there goes the Boyne viaduct" and "Do any of yez know where the IRRS is? Hi and welcome back to Genuinly Miriam, now I'm sure we've all heard about the big train on the Belfast line, Luckily my house isn't near there..GENUINLY!

There's only one way to settle this Kev...

Ah that makes sense. Thanks lads:tumbsup:

The 121 came to Pearse, as Connolly was damaged and heuston was overrun with Blackntans!
-
Wonder why they chose the U class? The S class is arguably the more popular locomotive.
-
Here's which ones were under CIE and Uta control CIE UTA 197 196 198 200 199 201 203 202 204 205
-
Right ye asked for it! The U class: Built by Beyer peacock in 1915' No.196-200' Second batch Built by Beyer peacock in 1947' No.201-205 The original U's were going to be painted in lined green, but this never happened due to Glovers "don't decorate ANYTHING" era

I thought the priestly ones were very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very VERY dark blue? Jasus I'm out of steam( pun intended ) after all of the very's, I'm going to have a cup of Tea
-
Aye, ye might get caught out with that. I remember, I needed some black apostrophes but when I got them they were actually a very very very very dark blue:p..
-
The UG's were never in given the blue livery, although they certainly would have been a sight if they were!
-
Not really, as when they looked like that they would have been in the grey livery. In the green livery and black livery(which they were modelled in) they would have been "inchicorised" with new riveted smoke boxes and new smoke box doors, along with various other modifications.

Straight from Wikipedia!

Remember how the GNR used to classify some classes of locos? Ps5'6", and the Ps 6'6". The GNR T'was a great company sure it t'was.
-
Wouldn't that be the first real Irish RTR steam loco? I wouldn't include bachmanns mogul as it is just a direct repaint.
-
-
Fantastic news! 2016 just keeps getting better;) Looks like the UG class will come after

Bit pointless to have some areas on lines that trains can reach 100mph, while others cannot. In order for the railways to be competitive with motorways there would have to be serous investment in.. The permanent way, would need to be upgraded, so trains could reach a sustained speed of 100mph at least. Rolling stock, in my opinion if the railcar scheme is going to continue, they should at least refit them to be more comfortable for both passengers, and drivers (it was mentioned how terrible they are to drive in another thread' especially the 22000s)
