[enniscorthyman]

Great video Eamonn we will have to head back to Downpatrick soon

I would love to pop up there again,and I have to say we were made

very welcome during the A39 recordings.But you will

Have to supply the grub again when the hungry feckers

from the Deep South arrive.

[Sulzer201]

Eamonn when you do a chance to go up there I would love to go too and we can split the petrol costs etc. Be a great chance to get a couple of locos up to Anthony for the weathering treatment. Tommy

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

Tommy if your going Saturday bring them with you

[enniscorthyman]

Sounds like a good idea Tommy,and one we could look at

in the new year.Will have to check what weekends are running

in the new year.

[Sulzer201]

Hi Anthony I have a 181 and the SF A Class - if you take them first and give them the heavy treatment. I have to be somewhere else saturday at 12 noon, so I was hoping to just call to the show meet up with you and exchange the locos. Many thanks, Tommy.

God 146 makes beautiful music

 

agreed, but shes beaten only slightly by the rumbleings A39! i could watch that clip all day long!

i would love if they repainted her in the black and tan. the plain black does little for her.... but i love her all the same!

[Sulzer201]

No probs bud I will be there early for any reason I'm delayed leave them with Dave Bracken

[Sulzer201]

That's sound I will do that. Dave won't mind holding them and I can nip up to Stillorgan fairly quickly from my end, I know you've a longer run down. Many thanks. Tommy.

Dave's sound no probs there should be there for 9/9:30

[jhb171achill]

Gents - if there is a sufficient number interested, I can arrange a jaunt to the Downs of P some time. What about a meet-up there on New Years Day? 146 and new loco No. 1 will be out and about.

[Sulzer201]

I would love to go up on NY Day if Eamonn or any of the other members could make it?

[Dave]

I would also be interested in making the trip

[enniscorthyman]

It would possibly be the Easter weekend before I get a chance,but

do mention more dates as I might be able to change

things around.

Now that makes sense.

I would love to see 146 in action.

I would love for the 2 of us to get a spin in the cab of 146 like we did in A39 maybe Santa might organise it for us

[jhb171achill]

Mr Claus can be very accommodating - even on New Year's Day.... :-)

[enniscorthyman]

I am thinking of a trip up next Easter.

[Guest hidden-agenda]

The Santa trips were brilliant (my youngest had a ball) well organised and operated just a pity i could,nt spend more time in the gallery, highly recommended.

[jhb171achill]

Gentlemen, loco roster confirmed subject to availability on jan 1st as A39 on ECS and shunting, with O & K no. 1 on passenger trains. 146 unfortunately will be blocked in as a result of a large and necessary shunting exercise, but will of course be available to see and inspect. I am likely to be in Dublin that w/end but ask for Norman and mention my name and he'll be pleased to show you about. A39 certainly warrants close inspection!

[jhb171achill]

Timetable on 1st is the standard one, dep. Downpatrick at

1400 1445 1530 1615 and 1700.

 

A return journey takes just under half an hour.
