DERAILED Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Just saw this on Boards.ie tonight! C202 the loco formerly exhibited at Cahirciveen and then dumped near Grace Dieu Junction in Waterford. In company with an ex.West Clare railcar unit from Blackwater and assorted other razor blade material. Location and owner not mentioned. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057273858 Quote
heirflick Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 great to see shes still around! wonder is she in Dromod? Quote
DERAILED Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 That's not Dromod but I wouldn't be surprised if Mr.Trebus is involved somewhere. Quote
UP6936 Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Just for anyone who isn't well versed in this locos history. This is C227, she was erroneously numbered 202 when displayed. From the looks of things she's in an awful state. Does anyone know if the engine and generator are intact? Quote

tonybonneyba Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 empty shell I believe. Bother! We need a GM engine now... Quote
Garfield Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Mad collection of motive power there; Metro Vick, Gleismac, Deutz, Hunslet, Ruston, Simplex(?), Walker (sort of), a BnM home brew, and what looks like a Wickham painted white... Quote
minister_for_hardship Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 'C202' aka C227, the loco that just refuses to die. Whether that's a good or a bad thing is a matter of personal opinion.... Quote
Deutschbahn Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Here is where it was on Google street view outside Waterford. Coordinates: 52.269966, -7.137489 Quote
Riversuir226 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 C202 is in South Kilkenny, shes more or less a shell with bogies. Quote
Jawfin Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 It would be highly novel to have it cosmetically restored at Downpatrick or somewhere in its NIR livery as 106 Quote
Blaine Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 It would be highly novel to have it cosmetically restored at Downpatrick or somewhere in its NIR livery as 106 Why cosmetically restore it when there is an identical one there that works, and 226 might end up there some day too... Just humanely put it out of its misery, its a pile of scrap, totally stripped of almost everything Quote
Warbonnet Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Could always build a layout in it for a bit of novelty. Although I think that's been done before. Quote
