0 jhb171achill Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Broad dimensions same as an E421 class..... can be seen close up on DCDR. Cab windows different, as seen in photo above, and "thing" on top of the engine compartment needs to be added. Maybe that's not much help, but here's hoping!

0 jhb171achill Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 A 401 gives you the option of green or silver liveries as well as black, of black'n'tan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 jhb171achill Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 There's one of a silver one in one of the colourpoint books - can't remember which. The only green I've seen is black'n'white, if you know what I mean, I think one of Jimmy O'Dea's.... Plain black after 1962, though a few got full black'n'tan.

0 Glenderg Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Cheers JB, will dig out those books and have a root through. This is what I have so far, and It's enough for now. R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 DERAILED Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 For anyone interested, the pic of E402 in Mullingar Scrapyard was taken by Joe St.Leger and features left to right Brian 'Vortex' Greene, Bill Garrioch, Derailed and Joe St.Leger - a 50% survival rate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Mayner Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Nice to see photos of the E401s used to look out for them shuttling around Heuston from the upper deck of the 23 Bus as a teenager on the weekly Saturday morning trip in to town to check out Southern Sothern Model Railways, Terry's Toy Shop in Georges or Henry Street, a record in Dolphin Discs and more trains in Monck Place no similar delights n the way home on the 22 or 50. Introduced in silver the E401s were basically Southern locos working on ex-GSWR lines in the Dublin area, Cork & Tralee. There I a photo of a silver on somewhere shunting Fenit Pier, one was also tried on the Courtmacsharry line that twig off the Clonakilty branch of the West Cork. In addition to shunting and banking E401s were used to work the heavy Heuston-North Wall transfer freights. These trains required banking in each direction to the summit at Cabra. Loads were reduced and B101s took over after a number of run-aways when an E Class did not have enough brake power to control a loose coupled train on the grade from Cabra to Islandbridge Junction. In later years some of the E401s lost the exhaust silencer housing on top of the bonnet, the build up of oil in the silencer tended to catch fire when the loco was worked hard.

0 jhb171achill Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Monck Place and Dolphin Discs, Mayner.... you're showing your age - and mine: brings back many memories. Did you go to the Baggot Inn to see Stepside, Spud or some young fellas called U2, by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Weshty Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Awesome pictures as always Richie. David Parks and Joe St.Leger in there and everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
