    For a giggle:



    Not sure what the loco is as I'm fairly clueless about UK railways but it does have a BR logo on it. Is it based on a real one?

    It's a not loose coupled, non fitted train so why would there be a guards/brakevan?

    Not being a Rail afficionado I had to defer to my fellow traveller foggy_lad for the correct answer to my original point....

    No audio but interesting footage all the same. First footage i've seen of NIR's ex CIE C class moving in ages.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,577 ✭✭✭lord lucan


    This is just a little bit begob and begosh but it has some loco hauled trains in it,semaphores,MKIII's and worth the watch. It also has some shocking continuity errors in it too.

    Back to OP. Was in the Henry Ford museum a few weeks after 9/11. Was the most spectacular place ever. So many full engines inside and so much more. Well worth a visit if ever in Detroit.

    Some action for fans of vacuum braked diesel trains. 186 was running quite late yesterday due to a bold Wickham of all things so 222 performed the lift from Connolly yard to Grand Canal Dock.

    It was recorded on my iPhone and I have it set to widescreen. I only record the odd train scene so the bit of width comes in useful and no mufflers, light meters or tripods neither; a bit of rendering at home and a audio boost was all I done to it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,771 ✭✭✭flyingsnail


    I normally don’t have time to take video or pictures so this is first time I have used the camera on my phone for video, I am actually quite pleased with it.

    On the approach to Cobh there are the two main tracks and then a siding (somewhat decrepit) to the right which terminates at a buffer stop just short of the station. Is that siding still connected or was it lifted when the line was resignalled?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 560 ✭✭✭Jehuty42


    Still there. I think last year a ballast train was signalled into the siding but was too long and thus blocked the platform line disrupting services for the day quite badly.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,337 ✭✭✭dowlingm


    That seems to be the end of the siding which used to allow runarounds when connected - I'm talking about a bit further back, at 8.03 in the video. Given the rationalisation IE did at the loop it's hard to believe they kept the overgrown siding there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 560 ✭✭✭Jehuty42


    oh right- I think that's lifted, even in this photo from 2007 it's gone http://thewandererphotos.smugmug.com/2007/June-2007/16506164_zh4wgJ#!i=1242391483&k=JHEju&lb=1&s=A

    Wasn't sure where to post this one...over in the States, a "heritage unit" has been defined (or redefined) to mean a modern engine painted in the logos of a defunct railway company. This over-exuberant feller got featured on Tosh.0 due to his whooping and hollering over seeing a Union Pacific engine painted in Denver & Rio Grande Western colours...

    Very sad. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,337 ✭✭✭dowlingm


    Okay, how to explain this one :) Imagine two consists with a 201 at each end on the combination, no DVTs or EGVs. Origin Connolly. Combo pulls into Malahide, splits, lead heads for Belfast the other back through Connolly for Rosslare.

    Fallowfield is a station just west of Ottawa, the lead train (43) is pulling the whole thing in the Toronto direction with 32 idling. Not sure if the lead P42 is providing whole train HEP or just its half, but VIA P42 HEP is off the prime mover rather than a separate generator. 32 after the split heads back the other way for Ottawa and on to Montreal, 43 keeps going for Smiths Falls, Brockville and down to Toronto.

    This is a video courtesy of Barry Pickup shows 121 Class locos 121 and 129 operating singularly on the evening Dublin to Mullingar service in 1992.
    This was one of the few regular passenger operations which saw the 121s been turned on a turntable, most of the time they would have worked in multiple with other 121s, 141s and 181s. Turntables survived on the Irish Rail system for this purpose, although nowadays only a few are operational, such as at Rosslare.

    Was wyeing ever used in Irish operations? That's how it works here because it means the entire consist gets turned and most seats remain "forward facing" and the business car is always at the loco end.

    Great video Eiretrains.
    Rare footage, and nice to see a single 121.

    I remember someone saying that the GNR didn't have a turntable at Belfast and a triangle was used to turn steam locos in lieu of one.

    In recent times the Lavistown triangle has been used to turn preserved steam locos visiting Kilkenny (186 used it last September). I believe the triangle at Limerick Junction has also been used recently to turn mkIII Enterprise EGVs.

    It has indeed. Other times I know of have been occasions where the Enterprise has served Great Victoria Street, which results in the DeDietrich set arriving into Connolly backwards.

    Some of the pre-DART push-pull sets were also sent to Limerick Junction to turn them. I think they originally had the C class loco on the southern end but this was changed to the northern end.
