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....

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.

was there something wrong with the camera anglwe there?

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.

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?

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.

good man yourself

Brings tears to your eyes. 071's/141's/181's/121's/MKIII's/Cravens/Ammonia wagons/Cement bubbles/Bell Containers and fertiliser wagons. The scene now is so banal now compared to back then.:(

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...

And the Irish version.:pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac:

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 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.
