Just ring them, not a huge operation and you will speak to someone quickly and directly by picking up the telephone, whereas emails may not be able to be replied to as promptly

Funeral details etc have now been released https://rip.ie/death-notice/padraig-paddy-murphy-dublin-rathfarnham-623457

You mean the line from Tara Junction to Kingscourt thats been entirely lifted and turned into a greenway?

If its not brand new it is 'sold as seen'. Not everyone in the scene is friendly or trustworthy, been proven several times now 'Caveat Emptor'

Mostly transportation costs as it migrated around the place slowly dissolving....

The MK3 buffet 6402 (ex BR HST 40513) has been sold back to the UK. 227 is scrap, think ITG want the bogies/axles as strategic spares, probably the only useable parts. Its been in scrap condition for over 2 decades now. A lost cause 015, could be cosmetically restored, its been left outside for a while now, and it was the spares box for 003/039 for years. Where would you put it never mind run it 6105 and the push pull intermediate coach (6305(??)) would be saveable if you are brave and have money to burn. 6105 has significance as the last coach to be built in Inchicore. Again, preservation (especially in Ireland) is about realism. I'm sure Santie had good intentions, but alas too many obstacles. Buying stuff is the easy bit

So why bother even replying?

Hi Enda You would be quicker giving a price for an unpainted version, 'pm for info' is counter productive. Pick a price and stick with it

40 shades of green, paint liberated/stolen for use elsewhere and some thinners thrown in... No such thing as RAL codes back then

If you have the funds, why not both with sound

Depends which MK2 - the 'original' Irish MK2D's or the late 'imported' MK2A/B's - both were on the Enterprise, around 2006/7 as pointed out above. MK2D's pushed off when the De Dietrich's were introduced but appeared occasionally afterwards NIR, the original Enterprise fleet all gone by 1999, the Gatwicks made a few runs, last one being in June 2008

DCDR be like

See the production samples running with matching IRM MK2's on Dundalk Works this weekend - in Dundalk

A few other layouts and traders will be present over the weekend along with Dundalk Works The suggested voluntary contribution is €5 at the door Parking is available in the area too, but keep in mind this is in the town centre so will be busy with shoppers etc
