Galway) a minute ago and, quite unexpectedly, saw a brake van on the back of truck pass by! Presumably on its way out to the crew at Maam Cross? Do we have any confirmed roster for Maam Cross or will it be all said on a later date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think only a tight group know what there actually getting We know there getting a former CSE Ruston, a bulleid wagon, a 30 tonne brakevan (presumably also Ex-Halfway vintage club as there one has been missing for years)it may also mean the GSR 6 wheel coach the halfway vintage club had could also being going there even though twas in bad shape last time I saw it move …all these peices are EX GSRPS @Fiacra did the brake van look anything like this one here certain items the RPSI don’t use will be going there, these I shan’t disclose but they all make sense They will also be receiving stuff from IE. I won’t disclose what but I think you can guess what it is 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless it’s probobly out by maam cross anyway (which is still a small trip from where you are anyway) twill probobly be fairly easy to spot I wonder is it restored fully? could have also been a something else I am think off….did it have any tint of yellow?

Mike Beckett Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 MaamX are getting the other plough van and the hoppers Downpatrick didn’t get. The plough van looks a bit like ours, only a bit… scorched. So not flully restored. The photo is ours, arriving yesterday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
