    I hope the mods don't mind this thread being started, but I'd like to think it could become somewhere for links to professionally made stuff being posted. I'll start it with this little gem I discovered recently.

    This may have been seen before, but it's worth a re-post. It's meant to be shot on 16mm film, but to me it looks more like 8mm or it could be badly exposed 16mm reversal stock. No matter, its priceless imagery from the year in question.

    As a footnote, I don't mean to be disrespectful to the many spotters who shoot great stuff these days, so I suppose this thread is about pro shot footage spanning the years. If the mods deem it worth being a sticky, then even better. It could be a really nice resource.

    Great idea but your links aren't working I think you need to remove the watch?v= from your YouTube tags

    If I'm right your first video should appear below

    A nice bit of film from Tralee, featuring the station, cabin, goods sidings, North Kerry yard and what I assume is an RPSI special.

    I have this DVD already, but this is Disc one of a two disc set about the West Cork Railway that someone has uploaded to youtube. Mainly concentrates on beet traffic around Courtmacsherry and Timoleague. Other interesting stuff featured as well. Worth watching if you have the time.

    A number of videos of previous ITG Tours have been uploaded to Youtube in the last few days. This is #1,open it in Youtube to see the rest on the right hand side. Some fantastic footage of motive power which no longer exist and some amazing sounds of trains at speed over jointed track.

    Watching some of the videos and seeing Heuston and having had to go to Dublin a lot in the nineties, I'd forgotton how dark the trainshed in heuston used to be.

    Look forward to seeing that, Irish Rail golden era up the mid 1990s. ;

    Here's another from Eiretrains, featuring top/tail 071s on the Sallins/Hazelhatch PWD works:

    I hope to have an Enterprise style video of the De Dietrich stock arriving in 1997 and on test, will be uploaded soon. :)

    The carriages yes but the loco was number 4 rather than 85 pictured above.

    Great sound, a nice video, thanks.

    No. 4 sounds like it's giving it a good old bash. Even a baby GM would struggle to lift nine coaches up the gullet.

    A baby would have lifted them handily enough. In their day just the one loco would have taken many mainline services and with up to 12 carriages behind her. Over time the problems were not so much in tractive power to hand (It was an issue, granted.) but in stopping the set as GM brake pressure wasn't great; this is why pairs became the default configuration for class 121/141/181.

    Double heading became the norm to increase performance and punctuality and because they were underpowered for many of the jobs on their own.

    There were never issues with them stoping a train, a single 121/141/181 was actually better stoping a train than a 071 as the locos themselves have a better brake force than an 071! Brake pressure does not affect stoping a train!

    However what they had problems with was releasing air brakes (vacuum wasn't a problem) on anything over 7 or 8 wagons/carriages when single, never really an issue as anything air brake wise usually needed double heading when on the mainline due to the weight.

    The Heuston pilot however often had problems shunting 9 car MkIII sets and you would regularly see the shunter manually releasing the brakes on the carriages to speed things up.
