Seriously tempted to get 113 but apart from the Enterprise, has this been used on any other services with Irish Rail?

In the early 2000s (2003 or so) it worked a Tullamore cement, and a trip working in the Dublin area, so it wouldn't be totally out of place on IE metals.

After reading the above posts I was pretty sure I had seen photos of its time on IE in 2003 so after a bit of searching I found them. Here are the links:

That's a very welcome and appreciated surprise. I'll have to invest in 8113, I love the NIR dark blue livery on these models and the prototype. Well done to all concerned.

 

Rich,

The pre production samples already look great. Does anyone know when the livery changed from light blue to darker blue and when the 8 was added?

 

Gerhard.

 

113 received the darker blue livery in June/July 1989 and received the 8 prefix in April 1999

Train Man, I know its not really anything to do with you, but would you have an idea roughly when the Belfast model shop would be getting their stock of the new models?
