    For a moment I thought this was the 'What if' thread...

    March 32nd.

    Oh no I haven't... sure I already saw over on Facebook that No. 1 is being cut up, so she'll be needed back at Downpatrick ASAP. No time for mainline shenanigans at all...

    Fantastic news, JB. Could this be the first time ever that an industrial steam loco has been used on a mainline excursion anywhere on these islands?

    The designer posted the images on that forum. I'd suggest you sign up and contact them through it if you want further information.

    Spot on.

    The fangs are found only at the end where the CAWS equipment is located. You can just make out a bar running parallel to the buffer beam just above the rails; this is the antenna. I think the fangs are just there to protect the brackets holding it in place from being damaged.

    I assume it's a way to get around the likes of eBay sellers who will 'ship to UK only', etc...

    There are pics knocking around of yellow ballast ploughs with CIE roundels, so I'd say it would've happened in the early '80s at the latest, JB...

    I'm not seeing a new avatar, just Kirley's regular one...

    So it's mint, but not mint...

    Gents, I realise everyone's consumed by election mania and you're having a bit of craic, but please remember politics are strictly verboten on the forum.

    Some folk music from what appears to be your current location, JB... [video=youtube;9g592I-p-dc]

    So would a ready-to-run Turfburner...

    Nice work, Kirley! Not sure about that claim, JB. Most layouts I've seen which are based on the time period where cattle traffic existed do have cattle banks...
  18. Garfield
    I noticed that, too, and that was my first thought.

    JB, Just sent you an email with instructions that will hopefully sort out this problem you're having. If that fails, it's time to book the flight to Sydney...

    Happy Birthday, Dave!

    I think I remember hearing that they were purchased in the end. Weren't they scrapped here? I'm guessing they would have been returned to the leasing company otherwise...

    It had a large version of the points logo. It was only used to see what the 201 livery would look like before it was scrapped - it never ran in that livery (one cab wasn't repainted either).

    The 'rust' appears to be an attempt at weathering...

    Just saw some photos posted by Belmond on their Facebook page... In the caption they claim to have bought the locomotive: "Belmond purchased the 10 carriages and locomotive from Irish Rail earlier this year and began transformation of the mark 3 carriages into Ireland’s first luxury sleeper train."

    I recall JHB171achill telling me he saw stock from that line 'in the flesh' at an Indian museum. Any photos JB?
