    By the time the AECs were retired in the 70s they had been used to the very best of their abilities.They were in poor internal and external shape and were considered obsolete.However 4 sets survived doing the odd shuttle showing GNR engineers knew what they were doing!

    So i am looking around the forum looking at great layouts and models when a tab pops up NO DSL CONNECTION. contact eircom and apparantly i am too far from the eircom"boxes". i asked a few friends about different networks but they say some use eircom lines.Does anyone have any advice as this is also preventing me from updating things as it seems i can no longer upload pictures!

    The modern scene does work very well for the budget modeller-some people just want to see trains run round:)

    Hi Noel what you say about the 201s is true. they are overweight and have a track busting axle load. This,combined with Irelands confusing railcar programme made them virtually useless ( par the Dublin -Cork )I think IE believed that,with the huge amount of money in peoples pockets in the 90s-2000s they would need these engines for pulling new longer loads. 10 to 12 car sets was what they thought would be the norm.Now they are after figuring out this many commuters would never happen and have"eased off the throttle"The 22000 class was the answer
