081 just hauled what looked like an ore wagon towards Newbridge.

Oscar Bravo · 06-11-2013 05:50PM

071 worked the Westport-Waterford timber. 073 in Ballina coupled to the other timber train. (218 worked the Northwall-Ballina IWT)

080 worked a sperry train through Sallins around 12. I tried to get in position for a good pic but she managed to leave the loop and sneak up behind me

Best of a bad lot attached.

Anyone know the reason for 112's visit to Portlaosie?

There must be some mistake, the only 112 in Portlaoise is in the model shop in the town centre;) there's another 112 in the model shop in Hawkin's st in Dublin. Will the real 112 step forward, before it can do that, it will have to step over the border first, as its still in Northern Ireland.

086 in Westport on timber duties. 080 in Claremorris with Sperry train.

n0brain3r · 11-11-2013 01:35PM

An 071(Pretty sure it was 084) in new livery hauled a HOBS train through Sallins for Newbridge about 12.30

071 was on the DFDS from Waterford today

n0brain3r · 12-11-2013 03:40PM

075 ran light through Sallins for Newbridge minutes ago and an 071 in new livery ran light towards Dublin earlier

GTE · 12-11-2013 04:42PM

You guys get all the excitement. The most around my way are those ruddy Sligo trains.

At least IR are mixing them up a bit by changing the lengths :P

081 was on the empty timber from Waterford today

It could be done but you'd need to strip out fit the push pull equipment, commission both back into traffic and still needing to overhaul the other loco before putting it into storage or just overhaul the one and be done with. The stopped loco's are all ones which can't run push pull so it's probably easier as options go.

Quick question as I know this is the wrong thread, are all the 201 class operating on freight push pull or "regular" ones? Seems like an additional shame that coaches are being scrapped where engines are there to legitimately put on other services. I do hate waste. . .

Captain Chaos · 12-11-2013 08:09PM

There are only push pull 201s left in service. 206-209,227,231 and 233 work Enterprise services. (228 being over hauled and 230 is withdrawn damaged) 215,217-224,226,229,232 and 234 work the Mk4s and freights. (216 stripped for parts, 225 withdrawn damaged).

Any 071 or any 201 can work the Mk3s being scrapped if only IE hadn't stripped all the gennys out of all the withdrawn EGVs.

n0brain3r · 14-11-2013 01:00PM

An 071(Possibly 080 on return) in the old livery worked the sperry train towards Dublin through Sallins about an hour ago.

An 071 in slate livery worked today's wagon transfer(Possibly 088) passing Sallins for Limerick a few minutes ago

Anyone know is there a speed restriction on an 071 working light engine? I ask because occasionally an 071 running light towards Dublin will be held in the loop at Sallins to allow a following service pass with the quad track from Hazelhatch I'd of thought this was unnecessary unless it's waiting for a path?

Sorry for the possiblys I missed the Sperry train and have a hard time reading the UIC no from a distance!

bikeman1 · 14-11-2013 02:39PM

Due to the poor loco brake on 071s they are restricted to 70 or 75mph when LE. Although some drivers have pushed this if the feel comfortable to push it up to the 90mph.

Rud · 15-11-2013 03:48PM

088 brought two empty CPWs to Waterford yesterday.It was looped in Athy at lunchtime by 071 on the CPW liner from Waterford.Great to see two 071s in the grey livery in Athy at the same time!

Friday 15-Nov-13
071 is sitting on the middle road in Kildare with the Ballina-Waterford DFDS at 15:05. Approx 13 wagons loaded with DFDS boxes & ety Dana tanks.

Captain Chaos · 15-11-2013 04:36PM

While waiting at Connolly this afternoon. At 14:30 079 came up from North Wall and stabled outside shed 2 in Connolly. 080 with the Sperry train was in the sidings just beyond platform 7 and at 14:40 a 29k set was spotted hauling two LHB DART sets up East Wall bank back to Fairview depot.

metrovick001 · 15-11-2013 05:36PM

085 now has '085' transfers on its cabs along with the UIC numbers. Knew it wouldnt take long

metrovick001 · 22-11-2013 11:51AM

At least there is no chance of 085 getting lost in Italy or Switzerland now! Pheww:)

n0brain3r · 22-11-2013 01:41PM

079 work an IWT train yesterday
08x(Pretty sure it was 086 and not 080 silver/white no on the cab sides) hauled the Sperry train trough Sallins for NewBridge earlier today

metrovick001 · 22-11-2013 03:13PM

It was indeed 086. 075 worked LE up road around the same time.

IE's 071 Class.
