was there any lettering on the green livery john?

more station buildings like kildare or portlaoise and as minister said a few churches would be nice.

these any good?....

will you build her yourself john?

Great tip about the lines on the glass:tumbsup:

i have to say that she looks well with the IR logo- great pic!

interesting reading Kirley - thanks for posting. im a little confused about the operation of the dead man breaking system.... 'The Class 80 unit is fitted with a standard three-position time-based ‘Deadman’ vigilance system. The pedal is normally held in the mid position and depressed every minute (timing can be varied) to prevent the equipment entering an emergency phase and applying the brakes. If the pedal is released a normal ‘Deadman’ Emergency brake application is made after a few seconds. This switch takes the form of a foot pedal placed in the footwell at the driver’s feet.' does this mean the driver has to tip the pedal every minute to avoid the breaks being applied?

Gareth, beautiful buildings ..espically carlow - definately interested! would love sometime to get portlaoise/ kildare station buildings.....possible?

superb work! how did you make the lookout?

i think you are correct richie seems to be a coaling stage - its definately not a cattle loading bay. lovely shot bty!
