jhb171achill Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 WOW! Models look amazing. Likewise, I like it more now it's seen (and well photographed) out'n'about. Interesting that some se a "bluish tint" in it; same was said of newly painted Inchicore locos back in the day. My father, who was very familiar with Inchicore from the 1920s, used that exact description of newly painted locos. The grey used 1918 - the very end - on all locos pre 1950, and most post 1950, was a shade darker, as witnessed on 186 - which according to him, is exactly the right shade of grey. The new 071 livery has a yellow patch in place of a red buffer beam as the onle and only relief from all-over sheep dipped grey - same as steam engines in the past. Just when we all thought the last of the old Inchicore traditions had gone, up comes this! Even the new logo (OK, go on, shoot me) looks fine to me with that livery.

Railer Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I caught the afternoon tara empties at Raheny at 14:30 but 077 wasn't on it. If it's not on the other link I don't know where it's got to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm171 kk Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Someone on IRN said 077 is on taras along with 072 so it should be on the other link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewanderer Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Evening all, Just one interesting picture for this evening: 077 in its new Slate Grey livery passing Clontarf Road on the early 1915 Alexandra Road - Tara Mines service. http://smu.gs/ZPZ39A The remaining pictures from today will be uploaded over the course of the weekend.

jhb171achill Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Why does the last digit of the numb er vary, and why can't they make the "077" bit larger, or even a different colour, as on railcars? Also, why can't they seek exemption due to inability to mix with other ralway operators in mainland Europe - as some self contained railways have been able to do?

thewanderer Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 John, All you need to know about our wonderful new number scheme. http://rsc.ie/download/pdf/rscg021_guidance_note.pdf The document is a few years old and it would seem the number scheme has changed as it is suggested 077 should be 92-60-2710077-? The last digit is the self check number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way to look at it is that the 071's are getting a hell of a lot of work done to them so in theory they should be around for a lot more years.

Mayner Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Apart from the poncy logo and nonesence with UIC lettering, like the NIR 111 a plain colour scheme really suites these locos. All she needs is a set of whitemetal number plates with a large GSR road services logo in the centre of the hood. Definitely Darth Vaders or possibly the Emperors engine.

BosKonay Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Is it just me, or was use of the wash more frequent in IR days? The locos look much more pristine in those days (rose tinted glasses perhaps) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
