And we are surprised? Great advertisement for the current rpsi regime it must be said. And im a former working member before anyone gets all 'well join and do something about it'

You'd need a strong stomach. Covered in graffiti and mould, most windows smashed. Similar to, or worse than, the stuff at Moyasta.

This is what they were like in 2015. I saw them in July and they are just as JHB describes. Image from Morgan Young on Flickr …click for more…

They're actually much worse now, sadly. Less windows, more slime, a lot more graffiti.

Would love to see the up to date pics of them now, so they are owned by the RSPI? 

[airfixfan]

No could not get photos that day at Dundalk due to train packed because of a Rugby Match!

Yes, they are. There's nowhere else available to store them right now.

Are there three Mk3's at Moyasta, or just the Mk3 DVT?

@gm171 kk uploaded a great video of the Mk3 move to YouTube a few years back:

 

 

And @thewanderer posted some pics of the move in their own thread, here:

A few other Moyasta / West Clare Railway threads here that could maybe be combined, @BosKonay?
