Jawfin Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Some new photos from the shunt at Downpatrick last week: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/album/2724-trains-around-ireland/ Wrenneire, Garfield, Kirley and myself paid a visit to Downpatrick yesterday in some truly horrific weather and enjoyed a guided tour of the facilities and stock from the great bunch of volunteers there. As most things were in dark sheds and tight spaces taking pics was difficult. Anyway, pick of the bunch are now on my Flickr! http://www.flickr.com/photos/77496544@N07/ Did you see a wee lad working under the O&K yesterday? Wonder who that was... Quote

thewanderer Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 Afternoon all, It was an early start this morning to chase the 0945 Limerick Jct. - Waterford which was formed of 4ICR 22011. I managed to photograph it at: - Limerick Jct. - Tipperary. - Cahir. - Clonmel. - Ballinderry. - Fiddown. - Gouldings LC at Waterford West. - Waterford. While services over the South Tipp line are diagrammed for 4ICR, as the set workings are tied in with Dublin - Waterford, Dublin - Galway and Dublin - Cork services I understand when the revised fleet reformations are complete (10 less 4ICR'S and 10 extra 3ICR's) and new set workings are introduced, more suitable 3ICR's will be provided for the route. Today also includes some pictures from Newtown Bridge, north of Limerick Jct. for 22055 on the 0855 Limerick - Heuston & 22023 0800 Heuston - Cork, plus 081 stabled at Limerick Jct. with Autoballasters.

thewanderer Posted February 2, 2014 Author Posted February 2, 2014 Iarnrod Eireann is 27 years old today. One of their first new rolling stock purchases (excluding the MK3 order which started in the C.I.E. era) was the 2600 Class DMU's from Tokyu Car Corportation in Japan, along with the 201 Class Locomotives from GM in London, Canada. 20 years on from delivery, 2603 still looks smart as it stands in Mallow with the 1435 Cork - Tralee. http://smu.gs/1i8xpR1 The Wanderer.

thewanderer Posted February 4, 2014 Author Posted February 4, 2014 I always thought that house was in an "odd position". To most of the population, it wouldn't be the nicest of views. Here is a few from me today. An interesting (and frustrating) day today with three locos needed for a timber train and several Dublin bound Cork services delayed from train faults and bad weather.
