joegriffin1984 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I believe the journey through the streets of Dublin had to be stopped on a number of occasions due to some rather drunk folk. Is this through? Would love to see the vid all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killucan2 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Gm had there own short film made,showing loco in factory getting ready to be shipped to airport,talking with air crew and arrival in Dublin, the rest is from chasing the movements from airport to inchoire that night it was @ June 94.

DJ Dangerous Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Two more videos of the unloading. Excuse the ancient thread resurrection, but these videos are historically important to us! Sadly, the YouTube account that published the video in @Glenderg's link seems to have been cancelled. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
declan64 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Amazing stuff. I wouldn't have believed it unless I'd seen the footage. Thanks for sharing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Davey Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Phenomenal - sad to think 201 has had such a short career though. Any chance that she will run again? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passenger services will go more and more towards multiple units I guess. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dempsey Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I remember coming across a video of a MM example repainted in the rail fright livery the same as the 071s. I thought it wore it well. Could a few of the non push pulls in storage be converted to run on fright duties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connollystn Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Considering it's historical impotance, I'm surprised that no.201 hasn't been preserved. At that time it was the heaviest single object to be transported by air. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudfan Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Pity they did not film loco being taken out of it's cardboard box. I wonder if it was as well packaged as the IRM "A" class loco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have taken at least an hour if not two to winch it out of the plane and onto the trailer, need to keep everything reasonable level so nothing was damaged, not at least the plane On 26/10/2021 at 1:33 PM, Dempsey said: I remember coming across a video of a MM example repainted in the rail fright livery the same as the 071s.

Not that important in the bigger scheme of things, 121 was one of, if not the first EMD loco to be exported to Europe and it was not preserved for this reason, despite rumours to the contary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more of a general inquiry if a conversion was possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
