'JESS' at Greystones

[Sulzer201]

Hi lads,

Apologies for poor picture quality and the fact that I could not get closer to the subject. Spotted the PW inspection car 'Jess' stabled in the Wicklow Sidings, Greystones, today. Would anyone know the weight and engine power of this vehicle? An interesting one to model.

Nice pic on p74 of Irish railways traction and travel (the version with an orange 201 on the cover) built by Hugh Phillips 1993 builders nu 507/1

You could try surfing the net but don't know what success you would have that co might cease to exist.

Thanks hidden-agenda she's certainly different and she doesn't visit the DSER route very often.

Just checked and the builder went to the wall in 1996 so unless you can get near it with a measuring tape .

Is she named after Postman Pat's cat?

Hi heirflick - she was in a bad place - on an embankment screened by hedging and I could not get any closer. Someone on here might have some better pics.
