Darrman Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I can see myself in a couple of those photos! A great weekend out, and the weather was perfect for it. Yet the forecast said there'd be thunderstorms... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niles Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 An epic tour, wonderful atmosphere on board and a great social outing too. I have to say say the moment in this photo gave me goosebumps; I love locos, steam and diesel, but never have I had such nostalgia on like this railcar railtour evoked. Literally like looking into a mirror to childhood trips. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcorkrailway Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 The arrow livery is perhaps the only livery one can be nostalgic for even if you don’t remember the era or simply were not born! It’s so 1990s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newtoncork Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 My teenage kids were on the Dublin train in Kent when 2601 was pulled into the next platform. They commented on how attractive the livery is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewanderer Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Pictures from the Irish Railway Record Society's "Time's Arrow" railtour on the 18th/19th May when we brought a 2600 Class, celebrating their 30th anniversary in service and repainted into its original livery, from their current base in Cork back to their old haunts in Dublin when we visited Hazelhatch, Grand Canal Dock, Dundalk, Howth, Maynooth and the first visit of the class to the M3 Parkway Branch. After an overnight in Dublin, the tour returned to Cork on Sunday with a non-stop run from Heuston to Cobh, completing the 176 1/2 miles in 2 hours, 55 minutes and 49 seconds. We were delighted to welcome onboard, representatives from the IE senior management team and the vehicle builders Mitsui & JTREC who travelled on the railtour from Heuston to Dundalk and back to Dublin.

DavidConroy Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) I’d love to get a model of this and build a scene based on the 90s. Is there any chance DandM models are still producing them? I just love the Arrow! First train I ever went on. Edited June 11 by DavidConroy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERW1 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 From what I've heard, under very dodgy circumstances too. Basically everyone I've seen mention it has said they had unfulfilled pre-order(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
