An overview of Lakeview freight yard taken from the top of the cement silo 

056 has shunted some laden two axle bubble cement wagons underneath for discharging prior to departing for Limerick with the remaining empty wagons.

One of the orange ones is out'n'about this very day on the Taras; just saw it passing the house with Navan-bound empties as I was reading this post just now!

Yes Jhb…that was 071 on the Tara earlier-I allocated it to the Tara after its service at the running shed last night. 😜😜

Watch this space….!!!!!

It would be nice to if IE would do a few of the 071s in a 'fallen flags' scheme for example one in DSER livery with the company logo a dates of existence another in MGWR , GNR and so on all the companies that made up CIE and would provide a historical link to the history of the railway.

That would actually be amazing. Mind you, the current grey is only a shade lighter than the standard GSWR / GSR / CIE grey! So that’s those taken care of…… MGWR green or DSER lined black would be nice, and flyin’ snail green!

Super detailed magnesite wagon 26608 has the instanter coupling fitted and the oil tail lamp that was used during the period of 1982. 
Another masterpiece,well done IRM.

Small details like lamps and couplings, always make a big difference to a model. Definitely, a must have. 

Looks the business, Noel.

When 056 developed engine failure a few weeks ago,it was hauled back to the MPD at Tara junction for attention,

In the following video and photos we see the locomotive being hauled out of the MPD by 027 and after the refurbished power unit has been installed,027 pushes the locomotive back into the shed for final checks and a start up 

While in the shed the opportunity was taken to affix the IR logos to the body side and relocate the 056 numbers to underneath the cabs.

Enjoy😜😜😜
