201bhoy Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Superb pictures. More please!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
201bhoy Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Southern yard, I never actually saw the FO Dublin train arrive or depart in ballina, I only ever saw it stabled there. Was there not a huge overhang with such a small platform?! If you have any pics of it in ballina, especially the mk3s, I'd love to see them apologies if I'm going off on a tangent here!!!! Quote
BosKonay Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Wow! So recent and clear in memory, yet now so distant in reality! Quote

I actually never took a picture of a the FO in Ballina maybe ttc0169 might have some and if he doesn't I'm sure Tara Jcn could replicate the scene! Quote
cg-antrim Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Sorry about the poor quality of this - but I was using an unfamiliar phone and driving while trying to capture a sawn-off mark 3 somewhere on the M2 north of Belfast. Couldn't quite believe my eyes! Quote

cg-antrim Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 That's why the window wipers were going ... Quote
Broithe Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Some of these pictures should have 'Parental Advisory' filters - I'm traumatised here... Quote
Deutschbahn Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Shocking images! I would dread to see they doing this to 6105 and the rest of the mk3's in the North Wall. In comparison to the silberling coaches in Germany these are far newer and better quality yet they're the ones getting scrapped. They were a fine coach to travel on. Quote
craven1508 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 its sickening to think these fine coaches barely 25 years old being dumped, the 2700 class are not a patch on the m3 pushpull stock Quote
Railer Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 2700s are more are less for scrap too. As are the 8200 DARTs. Quote
Warbonnet Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 [ATTACH=CONFIG]11959[/ATTACH] Is this not the new observation car for the VSOE deal? Quote
