Power car No 82 had the downward facing horn on the cab front in the early 80s.There is a good photo of it on the front cover of Rail-runabout by Sam Somerville in this guise in the then new grey/maroon livery.It also had the downward horn while in the previous maroon/blue livery,so the horn was not changed during its repaint.The horn was in the usual place on the cab roof when 82 first arrived in 1974,and later photo's in the blue/grey livery show the horns back on the roof.How long the horns were on the cab front for and the reason for it,I don't know.

82 had the horns down also when it was in NIR Suburban Livery

I do have a camera, unfortunately I was half asleep at the time and so didn't get it on! It said it was delayed due to a signalling problem though, so it probably had to reverse into GVS at Westlink junction.

It was 209 that was at the Dublin end it worked the 08:00 ex Belfast & the 11:00 ex Dublin after a signal failure at Central Junction this morning ,the set got turned after arrival in Belfast on the 11:00 ex Dublin

Done

Some photos i have taken so far in December have been added to the following

link

112 (I think) just went past my house hauling failed 208.

Yes you would have seen 112 haul 8208 , it followed the 08:57 ex Bangor to Portadown service from Belfast Central today 112 hauled 8208 to Dublin for repairs .

Pics of 112 & 8208 will be on mysite soon
