There's no way I am going to model the Bertram Mills Circus train! Even though I have a Class UG to pull it - I believe that's what they used for motive power in the 1960s tour they did in Ireland? 4 hours ago, Galteemore said: Looks fabulous Leslie. But would it fit on the Dundalk traverser? I was going to say that it would be maintained, as a friendly gesture, at Inchicore..... But she'd wreck herself going through the Phoenix Park tunnel? 2 hours ago, airfixfan said: New koco for the Fintona branch! Good idea, Jim, but she's only for TRUNK routes! 5 Quote

Mol_PMB Posted August 19 Posted August 19 Did Ireland have any ten-coupled locos? I can think of only 5 eight-coupled ones, mostly on the narrow gauge but there's one suitable for Portadown. Quote

Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t there a second 4-8-0t, no 901, while 900 ran as a 4-6-2t for a while by disconnecting the back pair of driving wheels. Their primary role was banking heavy freight trains up the long bank from Kingsbridge, as it was then, to Inchicore. Stephen 2 Quote
