It was a fab railtour that day and the sadly the last spin in the mk3s.

All that was missing was Heirflick and a bottle of Jemmy.

 

I had forgoten 072 brought us to Limerick,

083 brought us on the next leg.

Ant was very happy to watch 083 couple up.

While I got up close to 083.

Eamonn just realised looking at your picture that it was 072 not 073 that took us from Dublin to Limerick. 072 and 083 had to be the two cleanest 071's I've ever seen just looking at your pictures again. Its a crying shame that no more rail tours were ever organised again using the Mk3 stock. Reading Garfield's thread Dark days at CIE you never know privatisation may not be to far away and the Mk3's might get saved from the cutter torch yet

For some reason to I had it as 072,and its only

when I got photos off the external hard drive did

I see it was 073.As you said they were very clean

The locos that is,and what a brilliant day it was.

Such a pity a mk3 set was not kept for days such

as that.

kind words eamonn - i would have loved to have been there! and yes i would have taken the hugging and kissing of 072 a lot further - i would have gone inside her! would love to have got into the cab and seen the engine room!

It was very tempting Bud could you imagine the size of the airbrush

[waffles]

first picture is great all you need to do is build a model of Kevin Doyles new mansion and stick it in the background.

I love the name "The Deeps" its also the name of the country estate next to ours, in Wexford.

[waffles]

Next batch on there way ship docked last night !

Are these the rest of the 071 and 082s in black and silver or the next batch of new releases?

No more NIR 112s on the boat? Someone told me that Hattons were expecting a delivery.

[Retro Herbie]

All 112s were released on the launch day. There are no more 112s to follow its just the outstanding amounts of 071 and 082

[Robert Davies]

I might be grabbing the wrong end of one or many sticks here, but it looks like 112 sold out of many more than 082 and 071.

 

Or it could be late and what little that remains of my brains have gone bye bye.

 

Incidentally, those of you still waiting for me to understand the lokpilot v4 handbook so as I could tell you what CVs alter to get all the lights functioning properly on your 071s, I do hope you weren't holding your breath.

 

I recognise the words on the page as English, I even recognise the order of the words as being appropriate to being English, but I have absolutely no clue as to what those words are telling me to do - i.e. 'it's all Greek to me...".

That's what I thought but Hattons seemed to have got their wires crossed. They are still taking orders:

Have the retailers across the water got their initial allocation yet?

The second delivery of 071's arrived but are not custom cleared yet

Looks like there might be no delivery before Christmas of the orange? 071 or the Mk 2 coaches

He is working frantically to make it happen but things are not looking good at the moment
