IE Mark 3's locations in Present Day and History

[josh_]

This topic is about where the mk3s went and where they were scrapped from push/pulls and dining cars to standard and EGV generators all from HST's BREL's and in kits at inchicore

Personally Mark 3s were nostalgic growing up seeing them all lined up awaiting scrapage or be sent to england from the point square shooing centre cafe next to the cinema which did and still does have the best view of the yard 

Even though there final days of service and awaiting the hungry scrapman, they are still admired apon to this day 

From what i know 4 EGVs are on the enterprise and the 3 at Moyasta are gone to a glamping site(s) in the UK 

I know others were bought back by BR and other privatized lines but where exactly?

Interestingly enough, 7607 and 7403 were initially earmarked for conversion to Permanent Way work, but it never materialised, and both were eventually scrapped at Inchicore in mid-2022.
