085 hauled a rail train through Sallins for Newbridge about 15 minutes ago.

n0brain3r · 20-01-2014 03:40PM

Having just seen 085 in the flesh for the first time since her overhaul I came across whats supposed to be her in this shot during the overhaul http://irishrailwaymodelling.com/showthread.php/2674-085-on-Autoballast-Wexford?p=40976&viewfull=1#post40976.

Is that her though? The loco is the pic was still in orange and she was in silver and black when she went in right?

Yep, 085 was in freight livery and was confined to Inchicore as a pilot loco for a long while before it got it's overhaul and repaint.

That has to be one of the 4 orange 071s that never got the freight livery.

I think the loco in question above is 077, I think I recall it having that blue graffiti on it. anyway excellent photo!! 075 is in Westport and will work the timber train from there Wednesday about 11am.

To aid a confused head, what is the current state of the 071 fleet in terms of being used today/withdrawn and paint scheme?

That looks brand-new. Hard to believe it's nearly 40 years old at this stage.

Tuesday 04 02 2014.

080 in the Navan branch at Drogheda.
075 noted at Gormanston with the laden tara mines, it was later looped in to platform 3 at Clongriffin to let the 15:20 Dublin to Belfast Central to pass.

Something wrong with the Flicker account, I hope this works.

First time seeing that loop used. I remember that they had to hold off plans trying to commission the points during 2012 as they had to close the line for a weekend and there was public outcry blades were removed and later refitted again.. They must have got it done at the end of last year with the north side signaling upgrade.

jhnn · 05-02-2014 12:00AM

Thats correct Captain Chaos last November's bank holiday they removed the the buffer stop at the Malahide end reinstalled the point blades, I live nearby and I never seen a train on it before....J.
