Can anyone tell me was 078 the only one of her class to carry the small IE logo on her side or were all the class fitted with the small logo

 

Only 078 had the small logo, it's unique in that regard.

Anthony,076 along with 078 were the only 071s to have the small IE logo applied on the bodyside,

If you have the excellent book-"Irish railways traction and travel-third edition" by the ITG-go to page 66 where you will see a colour photo of 076 with the small logo on the bodyside It's coupled to a beet train at Carrick on Suir taken in October 1994 :tumbsup:

Just happened across a photo of 086 on the taras at Drogheda and it has the small IE logo on it's side. Is that 076 a typo ttc? or can we add another to the list.

I am nearly sure it's 076 that has the small IE logo as

I have a photo of her crossing the Slaney viaduct hauling

A surprise run from Murphy models :):)

 

Brilliant:banana:

 

Now, one more surprise I'd like to see would be either 207 or 233 in yellow face Enterprise. It would complete the 201 livery list.

Heard from 2 different sources that there is another 071 surprise:p.

 

Isn t 230 the other planned Enterprise loco?

 

Yep, 230 is but it has the old Enterprise livery with the yellow panel, 207 and 233 are in the revised yellow face Enterprise with brighter purple "thumb prints" livery.

It probably wont be one of the locos currently in the grey livery seeing as 071, 077 and 078 have already been produced.

 

Normally id agree but, he has done a duplicate before ex 141 rpsi & black &tan 141.

As for the other 071 im not sayin nothin
