177+129 work a Limerick cement factory-Tullamore bogie bulk train-watch as they go through the process of running around the train at Tara junction.

 
220 works a short Mk2 a/b set through the station forming a Dublin Heuston-Athlone service,

160 hauling a single BR GSV and a TPO forms a Dublin Connolly-Cork service

Top class as usual Noel. The running around sequence is excellent. Great to watch, especially with that sound. Love these updates

Great stuff ttc0169 ,I love  the publicity shots at Killiney and the Vale of Avoca on the DSE even though the Mk2s wouldn’t see service on that route until 1987 .

Some trailing point and plain line replacement took place last week on Tara junction-017 was in charge of the two axle ballast hopper train with tamper 751 following to finish off the relaying.

Early morning at the MPD we see railcar 2607+2608 being prepared for service,
085 and 175 receiving exams,
127+128 spare and 124+134 being coupled together for freight duties-the fitter giving the bogies and fuel tank of 124 a wash.

Thanks Jason-the sound of both 124+134 ticking over was nice to hear as well.

When you’re running them in consist, do you turn off or turn down the sound on one of them, or run both with normal sound?
