Last years Diesel Do' Railtour. Organised by the RPSI,it was the debut outing of the recently preserved 141 class Loco's which were repainted into their original liveries and numbered B141 & B142. Tour ran from Connolly to Longford on a chilly February day.
Rest of the album is here:Diesel Do'0 -

Last year i decided to take a spin out to Moate station on the Mullingar-Athlone line. Having a peculiar fascination for disused stations and lines i'd been meaning to photograph this station for a long time. There's something both eerie and enthralling about standing on a platform of a station that hasn't seen a train depart in many years.

Great pics!
The IRN website (http://www.irishrailwaynews.com/) has a lot of info on it, and times of freight trains on the various 'loco watch' threads, although methinks we will catch up fast.

Last years RPSI South Wexford Railtour. I went up the day before to catch the positioning movement from Whitehead to Connolly at Carrickfergus. Good day out with GM 8113 doing the honours. The following days tour ran from Connolly to Rosslare Strand,quick runaround of the loco and on to Waterford via the now closed south wexford line calling at all stations enroute. Then it was a fast run home including a spin through the Lavistown Curve and a brief stop at Athy and Hazelhatch for pathing reasons. 081 done the honours.

I was walking by the station not so long ago, the place has an eerie feel about it alright. What's really weird and hard to imagine is that the signal cabin is still technically in use to control the loop and level crossing!lord lucan wrote: »0 -

Any idea's on what camera settings to use. I just set mine to SP setting and select whatever I feel might be best. Today I used natural light setting, but before Ive used others such as sport (for fast moving objects) and landscape.
Im no professional photographer, the best thing I can do is take a wonky pic of the stars 0 -

I use a compact - Panasonic Lumix in Normal mode which includes auto focus and exposure. There are scene settings on it ok but havn't used them to date. The optical image stabiliser is in Mode 2 (correction when the shutter is pressed). Area 1 focussing which is a rectangle on the screen centre - hopefully where the loco is. Find burst useful if loco is travelling at speed. Use edit to trim and zoom the best pics afterwards if required, usually it is -like today

Burst is just the setting that takes continuous pictures at very quickly yes? I tried it once before but I found on my camera (fujifilm finepix, cheapest yoke in argos) it gave poor quality. Example is this pic. Its lacking something, too bright perhaps and blurry.

Last of my pics from last year. The IRRS in conjunction with IE ran a farewell tour to mark the end of the MKIII coaching stock on IE rails and an inaugral loco run over the newly re-opened WRC. Routing was from Connolly to Limerick via Phoenix Park tunnel and direct curve at Limerick junction. A loco change at Limerick and on to Ennis for a short layover and then the rest of the WRC to Athenry. From Athenry it was a straight run home with a couple of stops to allowing passing trains.
Great day out and a sad reinforcement of the fact that the MKIII's were arguably imo the finest coaching stock ever to run on irish rails and were prematurely withdrawn.

a scandal really. MkIII coaches in the Uk are at a premium and will still be friont line stock for years to come. Quality coaches, hardly a sound or bump at 125mph
MkIV? (Irish style):eek:
Hardly a sound? Not from what I remember! THey were extremely noisy on the inside and constantly squeeking and grinding loudly. I still loved them though 0 -
