    Mayner previously mentioned that Anthony Burges described the MGWR branch to Cavan as a "mouldering branch line" Such a description is surely apt here too with these wonderful photos.

    I think 1-2 a day will be NIR CAFs Vast majority DDs-ICRs 29s only as a backup AFAIK

    There was an update due 7 weeks ago
  4. GSR 800
    Anything on the Park Royals?

    It continues to amaze how many walk straight past illuminated boards telling train time and platform number, to ask anyone with a hi-vis whether x train is on y platform

    Truly magnificent!

    Always love a good Mullingar picture. Plenty of freight in the yard!

    It can be worked from the DVT of course, but whether they'd have to be keyed in or not I do not know

    Doors are operated from drivers cab on DDs iirc. Would it be that hard to rig them with it? Getting tight enough with increasing services.

    same reason the Irish Rail logo is blacked out on the 6-piece ICRs on the Enterprise, I presume..
  12. GSR 800
    There's also 400 drawings floating around. I'd imagine 402 would be the standard choice, with the flush footplate, though the split footplate was a characteristic of the rest of the class post rebuild (apart from when fitted with the caprotti vg).

    Still cant get over the backhead detail! Truly wonderful!

    00 gauge 3d printed 800 class (cat not included)
  15. GSR 800
    An effective marketing strategy perhaps..

    the rolling initiation for hourly Enterprise services starts around the same time so it would make sense.

    I hope Connolly's trainsheds get similar treatment to Pearse's. Dark, gloomy and with no proper ventilation to allow fumes out. 29ks roaring exhaust smoke in there

    It is possible it was one of the few parts of the locomotive taken off as scrapping began before sense prevailed. Her cab side windows and the brass frames disappeared and reappeared a few times on her. When in storage in Thurles in 1960, she had them. By 61 they were gone. She was still without when end to end with Macha in Inchicore in 63. She was returned to full order when sent up north, as seen when she was in storage at Adelaide in 64. Possible they were removed to prevent any sticky hands from getting a hold of them.

    500 class cab Someone's after nicking the right handle wheel

    The 29s are hard work is why I'm sure theres no loved lost for locals with the 201s idling outside Connolly shed all morning!
  21. GSR 800
    210 sold
  22. GSR 800
    Extend the Dart to Mullingar and you'd have plenty of space! Maybe in a century
  23. GSR 800
    Drogheda and Inchicore will be used, 29ks that arent sent to Limerick will be moved to Connolly where they'll be maintained as a backup for any failure of Dart + sets
  24. GSR 800
    ICRs are generally referred to as 'Sets' whereas 29ks are referred to as 'Units' in the railway. The more inventive nicknames for the 29ks can be easily imagined!
