Eiretrains Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 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. , Quote
Killucan2 Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Also worked 1825 Waterford one Friday night and next morning beet Waterford limerick juction @ 2003. M. Quote
LMSNCC Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 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: http://www.ie071.co.uk/Photo's/111%20Photo/113/023.jpg http://www.ie071.co.uk/Photo's/111%20Photo/113/024.jpg http://www.ie071.co.uk/Photo's/111%20Photo/113/025.jpg http://www.ie071.co.uk/Photo's/111%20Photo/113/026.jpg http://www.ie071.co.uk/Photo's/111%20Photo/113/027.jpg Like the last photo of 113 with the beet beside 112 at Limerick Junction Quote
iarnrod Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Thanks for the photos lads. Guess 8113 is going on the 'To Order' list so..... Love the shot alongside 112 at Limerick Junction. Quote
skinner75 Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Going to have to get 8113 - always had a soft spot for the look of the larger yellow panel compared to the other two Quote
RedRich Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 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, Quote
Sentinel281 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 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. Quote
217 RIVER FLESK Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 No idea when the colour changed Gerhard or come to that the exact date that the '8' was added, but for what it's worth in June 1998 she was still 113, but by March 2003 she was 8113. Cheers, Mike C Quote
LMSNCC Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 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 Quote
Kirley Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Were not all 3 NIR Class 111’s used on the Enterprise Service until they were replaced in 1995 with the arrival of the 208 Class? Quote
Sentinel281 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Thanks for the information concerning liveries, that helps making decisions... Quote

Railer Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Any update on the ETA of 111 and 8113? Are they on route from China or held up with customs? Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) In Dublin awaiting Custom Clearance Maybe in the shops by the weekend, but more probably next week 077 & 085 will also be available Edited May 28, 2013 by WRENNEIRE Quote
Railer Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 077 & 085 will also be available I better start looking for some overtime so. I thought 077 was subject to change due to the "late addition". Quote
