enniscorthyman Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Just wondering are many going to Downpatrick Diesel gala on the 18th October to celebrate the ITGs 25th anniversary. They hope to have 231 in action on the day. I am trying sort out my own travel arrangements, and should be a great day. Quote

enniscorthyman Posted October 19, 2014 Author Posted October 19, 2014 great clip there Shem.God C231 looks great,when you think its nearly 30years withdrawn. Quote
popeye Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Yes C231 does look really great, i didn't know it was there. Was there a big crowd there? We should all have a little badge so when at events we will spot one and other. Quote
