connollystn Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 It's most likely that at least one of the locomtives in each of the classes carried the I.R. logo with the supertrain livery. I recall seeing pictures of a 121 and a 181 displaying the hybrid livery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall seeing pictures of a 121 and a 181 displaying the hybrid livery. Perfectly possible, indeed - I’d be interested to see a pic of a 121 like that! When liveries change we always get stuff like that - when I were a mere nipper, you’d see a dark blue & cream railcar (GNR livery) with the “G N R” on the side, and the crest, painted over and a UTA logo and number on it, and in the mid 1920s Broadstone went on using up MGWR dark maroon paint but with GSR markings, until it was used up. NIR put their logo on several “Jeeps”, over where the UTA crest had been, but these engines remained otherwise in UTA lined black. No. 4 actually ended up with a NIR logo on one side and a UTA crest on the other! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there was a whole discussion thread on this, when a photo was produced some posters mentioned ''photoshopping'' which was totally ridiculous, locomotive 086 most certainly did get this treatment way back in the summer of 1990, when it was eventually painted in the full IR livery it still stood out as the IR was so big and out of place, it stood out from the rest, the IR was taken off a push/pull and stuck on to 086.

MD220 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) I took this pic in Claremorris in May 89 (I think. The date may be a little out) I'm pretty sure it's 086 but it's a bit hard to make out! Edited October 20, 2021 by MD220 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow great shot-it is 086 and Paddy Cassidy from Westport is driving, The footbridge was renewed in 1986 so your not far off the mark 1988/89 would be right Thanks for sharing MD220 Edited October 20, 2021 by ttc0169 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently there are 60 locomotives on the layout with 25 in storage, I tend to rotate the active locomotives to work various trains and after servicing allocate the others to a light engine movement around the layout just to keep them active. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttc0169 Posted November 7, 2021 Author Share Posted November 7, 2021 With all the 001 class locomotives taking up some passenger and freight links on Tara junction, it was time for the other locomotives on the layout to receive some attention.
