Colin R Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Besides a clapped out engine and bogies with hairline cracks, what else could possibly be wrong with it? Besides if this is genuine, anyone contacted either Downpatrick or the Irish Diesel loco group as it is more in their league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin R Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Or just bored with nothing better to do. If it looks to good to be true, it probably is. I can't really see IE getting rid of them, as I think some body will want to know why, I read somewhere (I think it was in a past issue of Today's Railways a platform 5 publication) that they where going to refurbish the whole class over the next few years.

jhb171achill Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) That's not the right box. Wrenn won't touch it. And it's the wrong shade of blue, with the wrong lettering style. And if the loco name is "Chuckles", does that mean it is one of Paisley & McGuinness' "chuckle brothers"? And if so, is that loco one'o'them, or one of us?

Noel Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 A "rattle can"; great name for a 201! 29000 railcars.......hmmm. Ah now steady on, the poor 201 is a proper decent locomotive that hauls real trains and has the most comfortable cab. Perhaps "Rattle can" a more appropriate nickname for 2x00 bangladesh stock, and "Back Pain" for the ICRs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangladesh, Nepal, Ghana and Burkina Faso all rejected the 2600s... although they are used as dustbin trucks in Congo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
