[Flying Scotsman 4472]

[Tarabuses]

The sound didn't work for me but some interesting clips and close ups.

 

Why is the Irish for depot Aras? Does our President live in a depot?

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

I don't know if there is sound on it as I had none either

[Broithe]

Nor me - it has the look of Super-8, so it could well be silent..

Oh yes, silent movies, I think I remember them

[heirflick]

great find....love the push pull clip with 6103 in the lead!

[irishthump]

Yeah, no sound at my end either!

 

Nice bit of footage though. A lot of it was shot out in my neck of the woods - that was Dun Laoghaire/Mallin station at the very start and at the end.

[Garfield]

Ah here, lads... there's no sound because it's a silent film!

[Broithe]

Is the Savoy still going in Cork?

 

[djkonore]

No cravings in those cravens - your man at the start is puffing away!

Seems odd now, doesn't it! Note one of the later 4 wheeled heating vans still in use on the train headed by a 141... and red "buffer beams" still on the brand new DARTs!

[josefstadt]

If I remember correctly didn't one of the DARTs have a striped 'buffer beam' originally?

That's right, Nos.8106 and 8306, was there anymore I'm not sure.
