gordon, im not familiar with the VMT. can you fill me in please?
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
-
I definitely saw it Sunday afternoon anyway! I thin kyou're right!
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
-
Actually yes I think it might have been during a Sunday now you say... You're right!
No i could have got it wrong also but its just been confirmed it was 30.9.12 by the driver
-
I'm not sure, I definitely heard and saw an 80 class go past before the 30th...
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
-
Are you sure the Sandite train was that late? Pretty sure I heard it going past my house a few nights before the 30th!
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

At this very minute, all of the 111s are in Derry partaking in the heavy engineering works from Colraine to Derry. Still, ti's a very rare sight.
No not them all just just 111 & 113 are up in Londonderry , 112 is in Belfast it was used last night to haul the VMT which failed at Central station and 112 hauled it to York Road depot
-
Late last night 16.9.12 NIR sent the 4 car 80 Class Sandite train
8094-8752-8097-8090 to Portadown to haul stored 80 Class Powercar 8069 which
was stored in the south sidings back to York Road Depot .

Really, that's the first time since January it has been on the Enterprise. Thought it had gone the way of 209.
227 was on the 19;00 ex Dublin last night again with HEP power on
-
All PP 201s are still in service except 216 which has been stripped for parts.
The HEP on 209 is knackered hence why it has not worked on the Enterprise in 2 years and is now the test loco for this setup and putting it back in NIR's pool. The HEP on 234 is damaged and never repaired but since it has no TPWS it's not an issue. I think the HEP on 227 was damaged at the start of this year when it failed and it has not worked on the Enterprise since while all the other TPWS equiped 201s have.
227 was on the 1610 ex Belfast Enterprise with HEP working

I try to keep it to the IR and IE era but any CIE livery gets me
back to the late 70s and early 80s on the Rosslare line and countless
hours at Enniscorthy Station looking at trains.The good old days.
112 came back to NIR on the 1.6.2008
Link to a couple of photos of her running light engine back to Belfast on the 1.6.2008

gordon, love the pics! the camera train is unusual to say the least, and something i havent seen before--is the pickup taking pics of track ?
Yes i had asked was told it was taken photos & video of the track , also heard that this has been the first time somthing like this had been done with a pickup very strange seeing it on a rail wagon
-

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
