RedRich Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 its actually not that bad - the more i see it the more it grows on me! I think it is the fact that it is on a yellow background. You are a lucky man living in Portlaoise Seamus there is plenty to see Per Way wise. Waterford West (Sallypark) used to be a hive of activity in the busy freight days , but sadly no more.

Eiretrains Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Hi all, Here is the second update of my photos, this time featuring various trains, mainly freight/pwd, at the beginning of the year through to June. Included is the new livery on loco 071 and the weed sprayer at a variety of locations, including the South Wexford line. http://eiretrains.com/latestphotos/Spring%202013/latestphotos.html And another video from 2004, of 112 on the Tara Mines. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WOTEr5PN6M ciaran - i have to echo what the lads say - your site is a fantastic source of reference for modellers..or even just looking at pics times past=D Thanks heirflick, glad you continue to find it useful, hope you like the latest photos.

RedRich Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I love it Ciaran, I am, and have been a regular visitor for years. I don't care how shabby 084 looks I love that livery. It's consigned to history now as there are no more IE orange locos left in the class. In the last 10 years some of the class have been outshopped in three liveries. 071 comes to mind for one. I also love the video, I have a soft spot for 112 having seen it countless times on beet duty crossing the Barrow Bridge from the inlaw's house.

thewanderer Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Good morning all, Pictures from the first day of my current UK trip which started yesterday.

If only I had done more with 112, that was the first time I was in Navan to get a Tara and she appeared on it, was delighted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
