Some nice footage of 800 Maedb, a J15 and the then new A classes and Cravens

Can't imagine anyone would be allowed to climb up on engines nowadays

If they had orange waistcoats on it would be alright.

 

I would have shoved that lad in the smokebox and shut the door....

Was that Laurel and Hardy in the last scene?

This open day would have featured Bulleid's turf burner. Even though officially withdrawn in 1963, the underframe and bogies hung around Inchicore at least until the mid-1970s. What a gas that might have been if the RPSI had been around to save the remains.

There's a rumour that the underframe became the supports for a bridge on some golf course or other...
