josefstadt Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Amazing stuff! Double headed NIR 111s and 201s in the first video; the transition from MkIIs to De Dietrich stock on the Enterprise along with loads of freight in the second. Many thanks to Colm O'Callaghan for taking the time to go out and record these scenes for posterity and thanks to Eiretrains for placing them on Youtube. Thanks also to 201bhoy for finding the videos and posting the link here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, can't quite make it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josefstadt Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 The third last vehicle is a restaurant car, the second last vehicle looks like a driving brake open first (no longer used as a driving trailer) and the last vehicle is a generator brake open (though whether it is an open first or open standard class is impossible to say). The train was the 17:00 Belfast to Dublin service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhu Varren Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 The third last vehicle is a restaurant car, the second last vehicle looks like a driving brake open first (no longer used as a driving trailer) and the last vehicle is a generator brake open (though whether it is an open first or open standard class is impossible to say). The train was the 17:00 Belfast to Dublin service. I would agree with josefstadt, the third last vehicle is Dining Car 547, second last vehicle is driving brake open 1st 917, the third vehicle is most likely a generator brake open standard class, as there is no sign of any yellow band below the cantrail, unlike the second last vehicle which does show traces. The second last vehicle would have to be 917, as there were only three driving trailers, and two of them were standard class. By the time of this video one of the standard class driving trailers (811) had been converted into 80 Class driving trailer 754. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
