heirflick Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Rumour has it that 077 will be let loose on a load test on an IWT liner to Ballina next week sometime I'm told. keep us posted on that tt!
Garfield Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 No offence to Noel, but I'd be more inclined to go along with the Wanderer's info on this one...
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Indeed, it begs the question why they went to a foreign country to take pictures of another railway's locomotive to pass off as their own! Money to burn! Probably the only photo of a clean train they could find. As for a foreign country I will have to tip customs of the next time your calling up to me and tell them to get out their rubber gloves
Barl Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I caught a glimpse of 077 outside the shed at Inchicore today, repainted in the new livery. It has the new logo's outlined in white but they haven't been applied yet (unless this is the idea?) from what I could see anyway. Have to say, from what I've seen, it doesn't look great, just looks like a very heavily weathered 071 with a yellow front! Hopefully it looks better when I get a closer look
Tarabuses Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Maybe that is their intention so that thay never have to wash it again
Warbonnet Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Maybe that is their intention so that thay never have to wash it again Again!?! Thought IE never cleaned them to begin with! Lol
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Anybody any photos yet of her sitting outside.
jhb171achill Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 I think it's a GSR crest they are going to apply to it..... and maybe traditional Inchicore cast number plates! Now that would be something. You could see the number even when it was dirty.
heirflick Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 wishful thinking johnathan...but its a nice thought !!
Warbonnet Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Any idea if she is to be released into the wild this week? Might have a few days off and wouldn't mind a video. Any info from credible sources will be much obliged!
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Might have a few days off and wouldn't mind a video. Let me know if your of and I'll try and get a run down and meet up
Warbonnet Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Let me know if your of and I'll try and get a run down and meet up Will know tomorrow what days I'm off. Thinking Kildare or Portarlington on Thurs.... Will be in touch
dave182 Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Lads, I'm mad to see this new livery on the 071 loco, any more updates?! It's gone so quiet on this thread that I'm starting to suspect that a Monty Python-esque mass sacking has taken place at Inchicore after the first YouTube video was posted! 'The person responsible for sacking the person who sacked the person who took the photo in the first place, has been sacked!'
Railer Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 A member on boards.ie reported that on Saturday morning 077 ran light from Inchicore to Connolly and back again. Just taking her for a quick spin around the block.
h gricer Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 A member on boards.ie reported that on Saturday morning 077 ran light from Inchicore to Connolly and back again. Just taking her for a quick spin around the block. After much enquiries from good scources, this definitely didn't happen, Id take with a grain of salt whats on boards.ie, maybe the member in question needs a quick spin around the block to specsavers. Regards h.gricer
jhb171achill Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 I've seen some howlers on boards.ie myself.......... !! And the usual gathering of one-agenda internet trolls.... (one in particular!)
Deutschbahn Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Just another glimpse of 4006 with the new IE Logos passing through Clondalkin & Fonthill today 03/4/13. http://www.youtube.com/user/deutschbahn
jhb171achill Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I've a horrible confession to make; if I get banned from here and ostracised by the entire civilised world as a result, so be it; here goes. I have got used to that logo now. Sorry. :-)
Glenderg Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I've a horrible confession to make; if I get banned from here and ostracised by the entire civilised world as a result, so be it; here goes. I have got used to that logo now. Sorry. :-)
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Rumour has it that the new 071 livery may be getting a pin stripe of some sort
jhb171achill Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Hahaha!!! That nun, Glenderg, will give me nightmares for a month! Better hit the beer to recover....
heirflick Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 hold on there john, you cant drink alone!...i offer my services to be your protector.......and mines a pint of plain!
heirflick Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Rumour has it that the new 071 livery may be getting a pin stripe of some sort a red sripe/orange sripe around the roof edge as with the old lovery would do nicely!
gm171 kk Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Maybe some windows and doors from the baby GMs will appear on these new liveried 071s once they've been through the works a couple of times. They definitely brightened up the freight livery.
jhb171achill Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 A bit like the orange and black window frames on NIR's 112!
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 a red sripe/orange sripe around the roof edge as with the old lovery would do nicely! As I said Seamus its only a rumour at the minute. I have a few to paint for customers and myself but I'm waiting untill I see one finished and in service before committing. As you said an orange or red pin stripe around the roof would be nice
gm171 kk Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 A bit like the orange and black window frames on NIR's 112! They are on 073 also, I thought it was only the orange doors that were added to the 071s until I took this video last week. It can be seen around 1:14 in the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b2bWbL4fiw
Deutschbahn Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Also just noticed why the new 071's look so bland from the front. The Current Livery 071's and the NIR 111's have black all the way up to the cabs but on the new grey color it seems the whole front (apart from the strip of yellow) is grey which does looks a bit out of proportion.
Blu Bianco Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I've a horrible confession to make; if I get banned from here and ostracised by the entire civilised world as a result, so be it; here goes. I have got used to that logo now. Sorry. :-) How very dare you indeed!

jhb171achill Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 (.....hanging my head in shame.....).... I'll have to take to the drink....
dave182 Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Haven't been on the railway in ages, but have just passed Fairview Dart Depot and spotted a 4-car Dart set with the new logo applied and the word 'DART' next to it in an awful font. Wasn't expecting it so no photo I'm afraid. Also surprised at how much graffiti there was on the rolling stock- at least 8 vehicles showing serious amount of damage.
