Patrick Davey Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) Ever since Paddy Murphy released his fantastic 121 models I have been searching for this photo: here’s my younger self, aged five, beside 121 class loco No. 132 at Killarney, in 1976 I think, having just arrived from Dublin on the Radio Train. Photo posed beside the same locomotive as produced in OO scale by Murphy Models. I wonder can anyone tell me the name of the CIÉ driver? I remember he and his colleague were very kind to me and showed me around the cab. I also remember the return journey that day was quite eventful because we were stopped at Ballybrophy due to a fire on the line beyond the station, eventually reaching Houston in the small hours.....
