Evening all,

A bit of a PWD update this evening with pictures of 088 arriving at Portlaoise with a rail train from North Wall. Later on I stumbled upon it shunting the CWR train at Portlaoise PWD Yard. Earlier today 073 brought the Sperry Train from Mallow to Portlaoise. 

In other photos, Monday starts off with 222 hauling failed MKIV set 4001 past Portlaoise and a few MKIV sets passing Rosskelton today.

Good evening all,

 

I ventured out both yesterday and today in increasing snow to get photos of the operations. Yesterday (Wednesday) was the result of college being cancelled whilst travelling to college (great forward planning!), whilst today's venture out was to see the last few days before the shut-down.

Evening all,

March has been particularly quiet for me, with college and other commitments resulting in the camera remaining in the bag for a considerable period of time. However, a cancelled lecture resulting in an 1100 finish on a sunny day gave me the opportunity to have a roam around. As always, click on any of the photos to view them full size

Some lovely shots there. Particularly like 075 crossing the bridge still in silver and black freight livery. Also the close up shot of the CPW shows some great detail of the wagon, which is always helpful when modelling

Nice photos as ever.  Water level on Lough Derg looks about 300mm lower than normal for this time of year. They must have been dumping water in expectation of flooding.  Some great shots of mk4 sets.
