jhb171achill Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 All we can be sure of is that it's an RPSI train some time in the 70s or early 80s......... someone must recognise that bridge, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galteemore Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) It’s pre 78 if 186 is in black - I’m not sure from pic. She was repainted green for First Great Train Robbery that year. Not using RPSI stock, either, which is interesting and should help narrow options. Edited March 15, 2023 by Galteemore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSERetc Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Could it be 186 on the Down line passing under Corbawn Lane, Shankill, Co Dublin, with the new Shankill Station {opened 10 June 1977) in the background before the DART upgrade? The date could possibly be 23/9/1978, there were three return trips Dublin - Bray ( Page 40 Steams Silver Lining, Joe Cassells) regards DSERetc 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
