RedRich Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 I was lucky to have travelled on a PP set with power car, two coaches, and a 121 from Limerick to the junction many years ago. PP sets and 201's were used on the Dublin Heuston - Plunkett and return to Heuston for many years after the MK11's were scrapped so I used them a lot. It's a crying shame to see them going.

enniscorthyman Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Shocking waste of money. I liked them a lot and loved the Sunday morning 10.30 ex Connolly-Rosslare pushed by a 121.I had no car in the early 90s and had to use the train a lot to go to my dirty weekends in Dublin. Quote
heirflick Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Really? Ye like this ugly duckling? [ATTACH=CONFIG]9944[/ATTACH] richie - beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Quote
Glenderg Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 True enough. Each to their own I suppose, but I never had any time for them. A few more of them caught in Feb this year in Dundalk looking in poor shape. Quote
Blaine Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Just 6105 left now, 'supposedly' heading for preservation as the last coach ever built in Inchicore Quote
Warbonnet Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Just 6105 left now, 'supposedly' heading for preservation as the last coach ever built in Inchicore To compliment a preserved 121 I guess? Quote
Killucan2 Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 Could be, then again look were it sits in north wall, hope the scrap men don't start at the top of rake. M. Just 6105 left now, 'supposedly' heading for preservation as the last coach ever built in Inchicore Quote
heirflick Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 .I had no car inthe early 90s and had to use the train a lot to go to my dirty weekends in Dublin. Eamonn....that's an image we could all do without:rolleyes: Quote
UP6936 Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Maybe some sensible soul will keep two normal PP trailers to go with 6105 and a 121. They could be useful for the shuttle type things that occasionally get chartered from the RPSI Quote
heirflick Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 there was suppost to be one going to Moyasta - is that still happening? Quote
jhb171achill Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 First I heard of it - hope so, though. Don't discount 6111 as a future push-pull, though! ;-) Quote

IrishModelRail Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Will the MkIIIs in Dundalk be scrapped in situ? Go I'm glad I got shots of them a few weekes ago. Quote
Garfield Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Will the MkIIIs in Dundalk be scrapped in situ? Go I'm glad I got shots of them a few weekes ago. I'd say so... they'd need work done to be able to travel on the mainline back to Dublin. Quote
IrishModelRail Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I thought that, they're in some state:( Quote
heirflick Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I'm glad I got shots of them a few weekes ago. im glad you did too! thats a great vid, and 461 is an added bonus:tumbsup: Quote
IrishModelRail Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Thanks:) She's running light back to Dublin on the 17th of November:) Quote
heirflick Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Thanks:) She's running light back to Dublin on the 17th of November:) any idea what time she departs and arrives? Quote
IrishModelRail Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Not yet, I'm getting the times of a lad. He's going to get back to me. I'll pass them on:) Quote
Killucan2 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Posted November 6, 2013 Back to mk3s,the dundalk sets would more than likely be broken up in the old fright yard,don't think irish snail would like people watching and there is no access for machines to get in. M. Quote
heirflick Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 I'd say so... they'd need work done to be able to travel on the mainline back to Dublin. Pat, just suppose they were to be moved - what would need to be done apart from a brake check? Quote
IrishModelRail Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Picture of Executive coach as promised... [ATTACH=CONFIG]9712[/ATTACH] Wow, that's an interesting livery. Will this livery be applied to the 29000s? Quote
Glenderg Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 I could tell you, but a dark shadowy figure would arrive at my door. It'll be worth the wait. R Quote
IrishModelRail Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 I could tell you, but a dark shadowy figure would arrive at my door. It'll be worth the wait. R I'll keep that in mind:) Quote
Killucan2 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Posted November 7, 2013 Latest story is one of the colour's on the coach is for the 29s when they go nation wide. M. I could tell you, but a dark shadowy figure would arrive at my door. It'll be worth the wait. R Quote
Glenderg Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Latest story is one of the colour's on the coach is for the 29s when they go nation wide. M. No! I've said too much. Must dash to board up the front door. Them shadowy characters are coming to the light! Quote
Warbonnet Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 From another (UK Based) forum It seems that a UK train operator has registered an interest in some of the Mk111's coaches that IE are disposing of. It is subject to IE swapping power units from genny vans with a poor body at Dundalk, into those at North Wall with better bodies, whose power units had been removed as spares for genny vans in use on the cross border services.

BosKonay Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Interesting!! Shows there's plenty of life left in the mark IIIs Quote
jhb171achill Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 It's just dawned on me...... I think..... Quote
UP6936 Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Whatever it is, it hasn't dawned on me... What is it? Quote
Killucan2 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Posted December 10, 2013 Well we have to wait and see could be something INTRESTING. M Quote
