jhb171achill Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Absolutely outstanding stuff. Love the WTT. Once Dugort is finished, if I can ever retrieve it from an attic now filled with luggage, it will operate to the Albert Quay - Bantry WTT on some days, and an adapted version of the the Kenmare one on others…. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RPSI released them as a three coach set about five years ago. There is always the possibility that they'll do another set in the future, but nothing has been "promised". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took delivery of my blue'n'cream coach set on on Sat 14th October 2017 on board the RPSI diesel double rail tour to kerry and back (071+073 both in retro liveries). They were delivered on board to customers. PS: These were the wobbly wonders when running due a defective bogie mount. Needed correction using a shim.
