I'd guess IrishTrainScenes meant Slieve Gullion - GNR 171

Nothing to do with Slieve Gullion, but what are those last few 141s doing in Inchicore anyway? I assume they're being kept for spares for the RPSI/maybe the other Irish Rail GMs?

A stupid question, maybe, but have Maam Cross looked into getting one of them? Hardly essential when we have plenty of preserved 141s, but I may as well ask it.

There all for spares except one, which is in the back of Connolly shed. Which is being kept to hopefully one day run. Just as likely it will also be used for spares too!
