Travel Update

Currently on display in Drogheda Tourist Office

Very little if any of Cyril Fry's stock ran on that. Most of it was built by a guy named Tommy Tighe who worked in Inchicore for many years. Glad you dont like it, its been build to cater for a market, tourists. The City section is being upgraded too, as the original version wasnt great

Sold one for that price a few years ago, people will pay. Reference my previous comment here about procrastination, bought it originally for the original price of €159, remember those days...

Its Ireland, Us Irish are world champions at Procrastination, guilty of it myself with some IRM items 'I'll get it again, Ill pre order it next week'

They don't care ultimately, best way to support them is to do what you have done and find something else to do

or just poor maintenance...

Hi Jonathan, huge fan of your photos, useful and inspiring I helped out with the research for this model, and given I wasn't even 5 years old when they stopped regularly running on the Enterprise most of the info was gleaned from research both online and talking to people Past 1984 they were not common on the Enterprise at all - they were not as reliable then, plus I'm not sure if non-CAWS fitted locos were allowed south of Malahide then (which was the furthest that CAWS reached on the Belfast line then, was there special permission needed, loco inspector in the cab etc). I'm sure lack of maintenance etc ended push-pull operation, given the 111's didnt use it Coach lamp irons - I know BR MK2's had two, one high, one low, IR ones were both lower down, as long as there was a lamp iron there it was sufficient, later the two rule came into place. Hunslets only had one lamp iron, be it for a tail lamp, the GNRI white square to mark the rear of the train or occasionally a tour headboard. It was well out of gauge too The great irony of it all is that the Hunslets shared plenty of parts with the BR Class 20 and Portuguese CP 1400 locos, both of which are renowned for reliability and yet their NIR cousins didnt even last 15 years on the frontline

Happened for real frequently before TPWS days on NIR
