Thanks @murphaph.. She’s 10 weeks old now, so starting to hit our stride on parenting.. That and the liners being back to 5 per week each way(there’s more work in not running trains!)means that time might become available to finally start that thread!
-
I intend to do a thread on containers at some stage, but a few things have held me back time wise(work and new baby!) Evergreens do occasionally travel on the IWT liner, but usually just 1 per train.. It wouldn’t be particularly true to life to have a train of 5 of them say.. the box above is a 40ft DV, 8ft 6in box.. Think Arran had one in his range..

The Gatwick's ran with a Gen van converted from a Mk2B BFK, 8911.. But the lads won't be producing that one, I would imagine as it doesn't really fit with the other Mk2Bs being released here.. Or maybe its the ace up their sleeve for a Christmas surprise release Also, to add in as I don't see it mentioned yet, the NIR MK2B would have occasionally went further afield on the IE network on GAA specials, and I think they even ran to/from Dun Laoghaire for a short while to offer a ferry service connection..

The Monday and Tuesday trains ex Ballina always tend to be a little be light.. This can be more pronounced when the loadings in Ballina are for destinations not served by container.. The way things work out, the trains from Wed-Fri ex Ballina tend to be full to the max to make up for this, for example today's train ex Ballina has 27 units on it and tomorrow's will have 28.. The Murphy's tanks are on hire to replace some of the older DCIU tanks I believe, some of the DCIU tanks are at least 18 years old

The two liners(up and down) would normally be in Athlone between 12 and 1 most days.. Could be slightly earlier or later.. Only thing I can think of that would be 071 hauled around 5pm would be the empty Waterford to West of Ireland Timber, which I think runs Tuesday/Wednesday/Friday at the moment
-
Only between NW and Ocean Pier.. Schedule for NW to Ballina and return will remain the same

MOGUL replied to ttc0169's topic in What's happening on the network?
Might not be able to pay for a low loader as a dedicated movement.. But I could maybe swing something -
Catch em while you can, loading of trains is switching to 2200in ~ 2330 out on 16/08 so there won’t be any daytime container moves down the tramway..
-
Those Kien Hung containers look very well with the IRM 42ft flats, I wonder did it ever happen in real life?
-
Nope, not customs.. If anything the opposite to what Mayner is saying applies in Dublin port.. Customs have large yards and plenty of staff but probably far more than is needed.. any time I’ve been there there seems to be customs staff waiting around for something to do.. And containers to and from the U.K. is a tiny market, in fact you can nearly look at a container heading to a port in Ireland and say it’s going to anywhere but the UK

That message aged very badly.. IWT service WILL operate next week 2 trains each way

Just Tara and timber, lowest point ever for rail freight

Should have gone to see the IL-62 George, banned from EU airspace now! Although the depth charges look spot on so a morning we’ll spent -
Photographic Website Updates
MOGUL replied to thewanderer's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
When I lived down in Killorglin as a child, there was a tracked excavator similar to the CIE Priestman crane just over the bridge near to the now Astellas plant.. I wonder now if it was used for lifting the tracks and then forgotten about or not worth recovering after the lifting work was finished.. The land is sat on is no longer accessible from the walk over the bridge, but I would imagine it is long gone by now.. -
The one in Ballina this week is actually a different unit..

One of the IRRS journals about 2 years ago had an article titled Waterford as a railway centre that had some pics of a train servicing the siding

Great pics, but with the two wagons added in the train would only be 20 wagons.. Likely two of the wagons that arrived from Ballina were "red-cards" and needed to be brought back empty to NW for maintenance or an exam.. The Max in Ocean Pier is about 22 wagons, otherwise the train would block access to some facilities in the port(green building in the background)

Diageo have a bottling/canning plant close to Adelaide yard in Belfast, so would think that was a possible destination.. There was also a bottling plant in Dundalk, but I am unsure if this is still in operation.. Any pics I have seen of likely tanks seem to be on the Belfast line..

Leaving at 09:35.. And I nearly turned down the booking
-
There will be a 30ft Bell bulk on tomorrow's down IWT liner for anyone track side..

Missed out on a Jinty also.. but could be worse, could have paid £170 plus P&P for one on fleabay https://www.ebay.ie/itm/202221216889?ViewItem=&item=202221216889

Pretty good summary of it.. Started in the automotive industry, and has moved to some similar industries(Aerospace etc) but is still fairly niche..
