They were the ones IÉ used to send out on request, but in recent years they seem to send out the painting diagrams instead. The loco in the video is the off-the-shelf GL8 design... GM modified the body specifically for the CIÉ version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djkonore Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 2 versions of the 121 With and without the high roof This looks exactly like the lower roofed one I don't think the difference is in the cab roof height. Looking at both videos, it's more likely the one loco has a higher hood than the other. There would'nt really be any benefit to making a cab with different roof heights I reckon. Look at the front of the hood and the distance between the top of the hood and where it joins the front skirt on both loco's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
