    The models look the part still have to get mine yet , just reading some of the messages about details on 112 was looking at a few of my photos of 112 taken in the past couple of months and just spotted that 112 has two different sized horns on the cab end mybe Irish Rail replaced one from a bo bo while it was on loan to them. Dont think i am looking for faults on the models because i am not they are fantastic cant wait to get mine just thought i would let anyone that likes the wee detail bits to know that lol Gordon

    Hi Heirflick Not totally sure but the wagon carries water which is used to clean the rails before the 80 class comes along and put the sandite paste on the rails

    You still dont say where you saw the set on SUNDAY AFTERNOON, why cant you answer the question . simple question to ask without sounding rude about
  7. Gordon71
    No i could have got it wrong also but its just been confirmed it was 30.9.12 by the driver
  8. Gordon71
    You saw it what time at & where , dont get me wrong you could be right i am only passing on what the crews tell me and they say Sunday night 30.9.12 was the start of it , there has been crew training runs during the day on the Line Line as far as Whitehead over the last couple of weeks but no night runs till Sunday there

    It started on the 30.9.12 thats the only reason i went out to get the first night train of the season , what time of the night did you hear it at ,remember the the VMT cleaning the rails with water started running a week earlier than the Sandite train
