scahalane Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Any idea when the weed sprayer is likely to be in Cork. Quote
thewanderer Posted May 21, 2013 Author Posted May 21, 2013 Any idea when the weed sprayer is likely to be in Cork. Not sure yet schalane. Photographs from Rosskelton early this moning so see a hauled MK IV set. MK IV DVT 4005 was declared a failure prior to the departure of the 1820 Cork - Heuston on Tuesday 20.05.13. The set required haulage back to Inchicore and this was arranged for the Wednesday morning as a 0715 Cork - Inchicore Ety. which was worked by 218. Also at Rosskelton this morning: 4006 + 222 0700 Cork - Heuston. 22019 0800 Heuston - Cork. 22032 0740 Limerick - Heuston. Pictures start at: http://smu.gs/YWf8ih Quote
Railer Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Strange that 223 could not run around and haul the train seeing as it was a DVT failure. Leaving the Thunderbird loco in place. Quote
thewanderer Posted May 23, 2013 Author Posted May 23, 2013 Day 1 of the UK trip sees me starting in Holyhead after travelling overnight on the Stena Nordica from Dublin Port.

The route covered today was: Holyhead - Flint - Llandudno - Blaenau Ffestiniog - Porthmadog - Pwllheli - Machynlleth - Aberystwyth - Welshpool - Shrewsbury http://smu.gs/Z3I73T The Wanderer. Quote

finnyus Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Evening all, Today marked the East Cork portion of the 2013 weedsprayer campaign. GM 083 was stabled over the weekend in Mallow and today operated the train to Cobh. GM 218 is currently the standby loco in Cork and with the lack of run-round facilities at Cobh, hauled the train from Cobh to Midleton via Cork with 083 taking over again at Midleton to haul the train back to Mallow. Photos can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/finnyus/ F. Quote
