    Not sure if this is here but IR201s and the 001s in one video as operational engines. Not many videos of that around I'd say. And the uploader says there were only four 001s in service at the time. So my question is was it a gradual cascading of the 071s from 1995 ?

    The 121s had the same engine as the 141s, the 8-cylinder 567CR, though they were later rebuilt with power assemblies from the 645.

    001: Originally a Crossley HST-V8 1200hp @ 625rpm. Rebuilt with a GM 12-645E 1600hp @ 900rpm. Most were derated to 1325hp @ 800rpm.
    C201: Originally a Crossley EST-V8 550hp (unknown rpm). Rebuilt with a GM 8-645E 1100hp @ 900rpm (same as the 181s) and renamed to B201 class. Not sure if this was derated.
    121: GM 8-567CR 950hp @ 835rpm. Rebuilt to take 645 power assemblies. Some were later fitted with 8-645E engines
    141: Same as the 121
    181: GM 8-645E 1100hp @ 900rpm. 186 was later fitted with a 567 engine.
    071: GM 12-645E3 2475hp @ 900rpm. Rebuilt to 645E3B or 645E3C spec
    201: GM 12-710G3B 3200hp @ 900rpm

    HP ratings are gross engine power, power available for traction is less (roughly 875/1000/2250/3000). Running a 201 in HEP mode drops its available tractive power by about 20%.

    My local station :D

    Its a long time since I've seen a 071 near enfield, let alone one pulling freight.

    I got a "lift" in the cab of a 071 to enfield from Connolly one evening. My uncle was a driver at the time. Nothing more satisfying (to a twelve year old) then blasting through Clonsilla while sounding the horn :D


    And while mentioning that, the signal cabin is manned and lit. Its sad state compared to what it is now - windows broken, graffitti etc. All in the name of progress I guess.

    Good video that one. Cravens look like they're ready to go right back into revenue service too. Looks like the driver didn't give it enough steam at first to start moving; scared of driving wheels slipping?

    Seems to be more videos abounding that show some of the Pennsylvania Railroad's unusual steam engine types. This one is about three of the Duplex types (four cylinders but no articulation): shows a lot of T1s (ye olde 4-4-4-4), and towards the end it shows a non-streamlined Q2 4-4-6-4 freight engine (mislabelled as a Q1, which was 4-6-4-4 and streamlined) and the very rare single-unit S1 6-4-4-6. (Music's horrid IMHO)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E703c-OxADI

    This one's interesting as well; a preview video showing a plethora of different US trains operating in the late 1940s. The variety of diesels is certainly interesting.

    Great video. Despite spending more years than I care to remember in the Mallow area, and the beet sidings in particular, I missed the latter period when the factory became rail served again. There was quite a curve and grade from the beet factory LC to the mainline and in the video the train of empties nearly comes to a standstill on the incline.

    Don't forget about the JT22CWs on that other railway (the NIR's 111 class). 113 on a ballast train in Derry, back in February of this year.

    And another blue-coloured JT22CW, this time of Serbian Railways Class 666; 666-003 leads a freight train with what looks like a G16 (16-cylinder 567) behind it. Video not of great quality, but you can see that it's a JT22CW, albeit not of the "hooded" variety like in Ireland; these were ordered by none other than Josip Broz Tito and were intended to pull Tito's "Blue Train".

    We could really do with a stickied 'Railwayana' thread but in the meantime I'm sticking this here. An ultra rare item - 100 years old - which sold on eBay yesterday for a paltry £25. A pocket guide - 8 pages. I was tempted but as an ex.railway enthusiast I would only have sold it on again. Only one bid!

    Yeah IE banned 071s and 201s from double heading from the start of service. Top and tailing is a banned practice too even for the 141/181s.

    NIR did run a special one off Enterprise service in the '80s with 111 double head. The first loco was taken off at Drogheda or Dundalk I think and ran ahead of the train to Belfast.

    NIR seem to have different rules for their 111s, they can double head, top and tail and are limited to 70mph compared to the 90mph limit on the 071s.

    Were they fitted with the yaw dampers to prevent bogie cracking at 90mph? I'm not sure if 112 ran at 90 on IE or not. If the Enterprise addon for MSTS is correct, the 111 speedo has no yellow zone between 70-90, it's straight to red from 70 onwards.

    I know they certainly didn't get the same engine mods as the 071s. The tone of the engine is very different to the 071s now, except for 076 which is using an imported engine.

    Whatever happened with 076s engine that hey had to import one for her?I think i remember hearing before that it's a Swedish engine or i could be completely off the mark

    I was on the Irish Traction Group "Hunslet Farewell" tour run by the ITG on the 21/4/1990 see link here: http://www.irishtractiongroup.com/tours/tour_3.htm and we had double heading with 111 + 113 for part of the tour.

    scan0015.jpg
    111 + 113 with tour at Belfast Central.
    I remember we discussed with a senior NIR official the possibility of triple heading on a future tour - sadly despite his obvious enthusiasm - it was not to be. :D

    I suspect that NIR double headed loco's as the risk of one of their's failing was about 99% :D

    That's correct. I think it was an uncontained engine failure. Someone on IRN claimed that 076's original engine was eventually repaired and installed in 081 during its overhaul and repaint into the freight livery.

    A wee snap I took when on the Farewell to 80 Class tour last year of a NIR Plasser beside and 80 Class. I actually never noted down the location but I am guessing it's Larne Harbour :)

    Plasser is the manufacturer and produce mainly permanent way maintenance machines, tampers, track layer etc.
    I've no idea what that one does and was about to ask same. It looks very compact and self contained.

    A quick google search says that a K-355 APT is a

    “The Rail-welding machine Plasser K-355 APT is a rail bound, self-propelled machine capable of performing rail welding functions accurately and economically. The machine is equipped with computer and software in order to recorder, to save, to print, to export and to identify all the weldings (see attached photos and details)”
