Riversuir226 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Looks like 087 is nearly ready to escape, delighted to see her in the new livery. http://chrisplayfair.smugmug.com/Travel/2014-Photos/April-2014/38195919_WwHWQz#/Travel/2014-Photos/April-2014/38195919_WwHWQz/3158048927_QBWkPLx Quote

ak425 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 ah 087. My first trip on the Executive was behind 087 and a few months later it hauled a Beet around Bray Head - Great times ! Quote
dave182 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Ak425- just a quick question re your post there- Beet on Bray Head?? Just asking as I intend to build a layout based on that route and I suspected the occasional beet train might have been diverted? Any further info? (Sorry to bring this off topic, maybe start a new thread?) Quote

josefstadt Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Dave182, during storms on the Bank Holiday Monday in 1996 (28 October) one of the gantry cranes at Belview collapsed, blocking the Waterford - Rosslare Strand line. The line remained blocked until 11 November, the delay in clearing the wreckage of the crane being due to the presence of some HazChem containers in the debris. During the closure of the Waterford - Rosslare Strand line beet trains from Wellington Bridge to Mallow were diverted to operate via Wexford and Dublin. The IRRS Journal of February 1997 (No. 132) has a great picture of 087 with a beet train on Bray Head on 30 October 1996 (see page 351). Quote
mrhd Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Interesting to see the short number 087 below the left window in addition to the long-form euro number in the usual place. Quote
heirflick Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Interesting to see the short number 087 below the left window in addition to the long-form euro number in the usual place. yes and it looks really good on her! Quote
Warbonnet Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Interesting to see the short number 087 below the left window in addition to the long-form euro number in the usual place. Yep, 085 has this too. I think there is another one out there that's had similar treatment. Makes it far easier for us to spot! Quote
Riversuir226 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Posted April 4, 2014 Yep, 085 has this too. I think there is another one out there that's had similar treatment. Makes it far easier for us to spot! 078 is the other one Fran:D Quote
Warbonnet Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 078 is the other one Fran:D Cheers man, knew I hadn't completely lost the plot yet! 078, now 087.... Hopefully they go back and treat 071 and the others accordingly. Quote
