jhb171achill Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Saw an Expressway bus yesterday which was in the recently replaced red, white and orange livery. It recalled to mind the original "Expressway" branding in the 70s, when CIE simply replaced the cream on the upper panels with what looked like standard railway orange - perhaps to make the bus look more "main line". So, public transport orange is not yet dead. It's still on some service buses, and still on the stored 201s in Inchicore, as well as the odd window frame on a grey 071! Quote
GSR 800 Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Aren't there still two 141s stored at inchicore in blackntan? Quote
Garfield Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 There's one (141). The other (142) is at Whitehead. Quote
jhb171achill Posted November 22, 2015 Author Posted November 22, 2015 Plus 146 on the DCDR. I was thinking more of what IE still have, rather than preservation, but there's also black'n'tan genny van on the DCDR, if we count preservation, and another grounded one in England. Quote
jhb171achill Posted November 22, 2015 Author Posted November 22, 2015 Actually, what GSR probably means is the several 141s stored out of traffic at Inchicore. Forgot about that.... So some Expressway buses are the last "tan" in service! Quote

Theres also a mark 3 & craven near Kildare plus the stock in west clare. The c class in Carrick on Suir is still in Supertrain livery. Edited November 22, 2015 by Riversuir226 Quote

Glenderg Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 The two 141's are NOT black and tan either. They are black and mk3 tippex orange. Quote
GSR 800 Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 He was asking about the Black and Tan locos, JB! Sure yer both right!..I think:confused: Quote
GSR 800 Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Wonder if any of those Mk3s up in Scotland are still in their old livery Quote
minister_for_hardship Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Plenty orange/black/white IE era signage still knocking about, and some IR era tubular steel station nameboards with 'IR' logo showing through the faded 3 pin plug logo stickers, if you know where to look. Quote
Jawfin Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) 144, 175, 162, 177, 147, 171, and 134 are all in the Intercity 'tippex' livery in Inchicore, and 141 is in black and tan. And there's 6105, 7146, 6402, 4402, 4108, 4110, A3R, 124, 152, and 190 in Moyasta as well, don't forget, C226 at Carrick-on-Suir, G613 and 146 at Downpatrick, 142 at Whitehead, 3185 in Inchicore, and so on. There are other coaches here and there with black and brown/orange as well - 3189 and 6111 at Downpatrick, 3163, 5408 (and I think 5106?) at Whitehead, 1558 and 6205 at Naas, etc. Edited November 23, 2015 by Jawfin Quote
jhb171achill Posted November 23, 2015 Author Posted November 23, 2015 More than we'd think indeed, Jawfin! Quote
Noel Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 144, 175, 162, 177, 147, 171, and 134 are all in the Intercity 'tippex' livery in Inchicore ... snip ... Confused - I thought these locos had since been cut up, are these locos still intact at Inchicore? Quote
jhb171achill Posted November 23, 2015 Author Posted November 23, 2015 There are a few in the scrap line. Both 124 and 134 still exist too. Quote
GSR 800 Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) I count the tippex livery as in the black n tan area. Some of the 141s at inchicore have been partially dismantled,rotting away in some sidings,deep inside inchicore Edited November 23, 2015 by GSR 800 Goddamn auto correct! Quote
Horsetan Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 ....rotting away in some sidings,deep inside inchicore Inchicore's a bit like a black hole for things like that. Quote
GSR 800 Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Inchicore's a bit like a black hole for things like that. There's a fairly good chance of finding parts of auld steamers lying around there! Quote
jhb171achill Posted November 23, 2015 Author Posted November 23, 2015 Not now, GSR - the RPSI & DCDR have been all over that end of things! Quote
