Are 077 and 078 getting the rail freight livery like the rest of the 071s ?

Apparently they're getting an all grey livery instead of the silver and black freight one.

Oh right. So will the rest of the 071s get this livery then ? And is 084 the only 071 still in orange ?

An orange 071 passed by me today heading for ballina with the cpw,s

Oscar Bravo · 07-03-2013 10:49PM

Both 077 and 078 are painted in Slate Grey and will be back in traffic very soon. the only one left in orange is 084 and will more than likely be taken out of service for overhaul/painting once 77 or 78 returns. The class leader is in for an overhaul.

What about 087, still in IE orange, last I heard it was stripped for parts to keep the others on the go. 084 is the only one left in service in IE orange and has been the only one for almost 2 years now.

The nice pair of 073 and 074 are on the tara runs this week.

087 was in a bad way when it went in,major body works took place on this loco.It has not been orange in quite some time. when it returns it will be slate Grey. Anyone who can get a snap of 084 do because when she goes into works again it will be Slate Grey when it comes out the far side.

084 worked 0755 Waterford / Limerick transfer today consisting of 3 timber wagons. Fine sight passing through Carrick On Suir! One of my favourite engines! Shame I didn't get it on my railtours!

Jamie2k9 · 13-03-2013 11:59PM

No they will be in the last batch, current ETA end of April or May.

The batch that were to be released today are held up in customs and should be cleared by Tuesday.:mad:

I have 073 pre-ordered. Already have 071, 082 and 112. I reckon I will get at one of each and a few more for re-sprays/re-numbers and one to do 077 in slate gray. They really are fantastic models. Need to get into the decoder side of things.

pointsman · 16-03-2013 04:37PM

077 ran to Connolly this morning around 0730hrs then returned to Inchicore arriving just before 0900.

I have two 201s and one each of a 141 and 181, so I might look at getting a second 071 to go with 077.

n0brain3r · 21-03-2013 03:28PM

075 is Ballina bound at Sallins on a the (second??) IWT today one passed earlier about 10.30 but I didn't see the engine

Salmon Leap · 22-03-2013 12:50AM

081 in Drogheda tonight.

Jamie2k9 · 22-03-2013 06:25PM

083 on a empty timber from Waterford at Kildare.
073 on Ballina-Waterford DFDS at Kildare.

Both are running behind schedule as they all should of departed earlier.

Two further 071's operating to Heuston, looks like one failed didn't see the numbers.

metrovick001 · 23-03-2013 01:54PM

I got a shot of 073 & 083 in the pouring rain yesteday - here

Captain Chaos · 25-03-2013 11:14PM

Well it looks like 071 got repainted as part of it's overhaul. 071, 077 and 078 are in slate grey and have UIC numbers. Good luck for us spotters in ID'ing them.
