Ordered 12 packs to support the lads. I wish I could of ordered some cement packs with them so I didn't have to pay the shipping twice

ebay is actually a good source for oddball photos, lots of 121 and A class photos, maybe worth of a separate trend ( if allowed) Here's another cracker

Hello,

I was wondering what this coach is and what it was used for?

That was in the Mallow Beet Factory sidings in 1989 and most of the sleepers and soleplates went into the Fenit line. However, quite a large quantity of materials 'found' their way to Blennerville.

 

Great photo, thanks for sharing. On the day I was there, that crane nearly tipped over, more than once lol

A platform, a signal and a footbridge. The rails in the station area were lifted years ago, now the rest is being lifted. The branch is to become yet another greenway although the virus has possibly stalled that.

There was talk to make it dual gauge and run 5T there in GSRPS days. 5T went to the Blennerville and everyone knows the rest of that story.

 GSRPS lifted a load of track panels from somewhere with a steam crane in the late 80s, was that for the Blennerville line?

I would take 8 boxes of ballast hoppers if another run was done

What still exists in Fenit?

where is G611 and G616?

None have a engine between them but Downpatrick including the (Traction group) work with RPSI is the best solution.

Mallow had several G classes, a Ruston or two, 131 (?), a steam crane, a railcar, a scammell thing (?) and a Hino  Just nowhere to run anything 

If GSRPS and Westrail had of worked together and combined forces, might things have worked out better?

Would anybody have a brief history of Westrail?

Where and when did it operate, what equipment did they have any what happened to all the stock they had

I think that they might not have sounded too dissimilar to the British Rail Class 26, as they have the same Sulzer engine though it is rated at some 200hp greater.

I think the exhaust set up is different on the brits?

Don't forget all the objections.....from people living hundreds of miles away from it

would the sound chip be two Crossley engines?

Anybody know what the chalk (?) writing is on the side of the van?

Carrick-on-Suir, ITG.

611 & 617 are now at Downpatrick, though, but they’re owned by the ITG.

The third G on the DCDR is 613, a long-time Loughrea regular. She’s been out of traffic for some years and is privately owned by a DCDR member.

So, four out of the seven “G61X”s have survived! The only case, presumably, of the majority of an Irish loco class surviving! (I don’t count “one-offs” here).

Or maybe someone can correct this?

G615 survives, kindof

do any videos exist of the 1100/1101 diesels in action with sound?

Hi Fran,  Last question, can the Guinness flats carry the Bell containers and can the Bell container flats carry the keys?

Beautiful, front looks fraction to tall? Would like to see cab to cab with a 141 model

excellent model, do the keg cages clip on and off the wagon?

Are the ferts still used or are they stored/gone?

Indeed it is, though as you can see, covered in weeds and sundry gunk....

jhb171achill, in a perfect world, back in the day, could the Youghal and Dungarvan lines be linked?

if not, is that why the Dungarvan line went to Mallow?

The Golden Era of Ireland's railways. The line feathered on this is now a greenway.  Excellent though it is would prefer to seem summer rail traffic running out to Dungarvan, even a hideous tram would be better than a greenway (ie 22k). Speeds looked rather high in sections of the video, even going over some of the viaducts.

Is that a Sulzer or A class hauling a dead C class or are the two locos powered towards the end of the video?

the turn table is still in place?

  RPSI steam from Connolly station to Youghal would be a great day trip!

Yes, I think its terrible lorna2388 is trying to profit from modellers that missed out or couldn't afford the models first time around.
