    082's horn sounds more like a parp than the throaty horn we're more used too!
    Yep, she didn't have her unique turbo at this time either, that was after the overhaul and repaint. I work near Clontarf Road DART station and can hear the trains from where I work. I always know when 082 is on a Tara.

    The lovely sound of the 081.

    I remember I used to go into Limerick station on Sunday evenings when a student 100000 years ago just to hear it.

    Being not well up,what causes that big engine note rise as it comes to a halt?

    080's horn is almost two tone at one end at the moment.081 is a great goer!! Edit-Mayo Checker,yes some of the cabs are leaky around the window seals but no need for umbrella's just yet!!

    I might be wrong but I think the engine will automatically rev up to drive the air compressors, otherwise the brakes would run out of air and fail.

    I am wondering whether it is actually their test bed for trying to resolve the leaky cab problems? It certainly doesn't looked dumped from the picture - it's in a shed.

    In fairness, CIE have a long and distinguished history of leaving stuff to rot outside. Generally, if something is in a shed, it means that they may want to use it again.

    082 is a beast ever since it's overhaul. You can hear the thing for miles off before it gets near you more so than another 071. 082 has a very different to any other 071 or 201. The 071s have a distant rumble while 082 has a roaring throaty sound from way off. It sounds like it's about to tear it's self apart when I hear late at night on the taras.

    Lovely description of the sound of 082,a throaty roar.There is a unique sound to it compared to the other 071s which is clear as day especially in notch 8

    anybody on IRN see the brill recent overhead view of inch

    it is sad to see so many locos just left there to rot

    With the mk3 coaches that can also be seen ......

    IRN would want to get their act together and get more freight contracts on board and get them locos moving again..

    Freight from where to where for whom? We're not exactly Germany or the UK, we have very little heavy industry or long distances to cover.

    BTW here's the link to those photos http://irnirishrailwaynews.yuku.com/topic/2514/Re-Inchicore-Works-from-above?page=-1#.TzrRprFmJbk. Anyone know what's the story with the 5-car 22000 in Inchicore?

    there was murmurings of reopening Sligo to timber I think? With the increase in passenger services on both that line and Kildare-Waterford it would be challenging to find timetable slots for said service though...

    East Wall looks a prime candidate for an arson attack that will take care of the MkIIIs - why on earth have they still got them lying around the place?
