Superb Jonathan( @jhb171achill) really interesting and very useful information especially for my preferred era.

Kieran Lagan ( @Kirley ) formerly of this parish posted an interesting thread on the CIE to IE timeline link below.

Reading all this superb Irish railway history one now feels that the A class model due to ship during Q4.2019 along with the anticipated Murphy Models 121, and OO works J15 models are not final models to complete the loop of important Irish railway traction for modellers. It now seems the remaining gap is the important AEC 2600 class DMU which may have ended its life on the pre-dart run especially Bray, but at one time was the backbone of many main line services too as well as off the beaten track local branch services too.

I made up a visual timeline of most of the CIE locos, just for my own use. Sharing here in case others find it useful.

Thanks again to @jhb171achill for the original information in his spreadsheet.
