Evening all

I have added a small collection by David Heath of the 2 Class 201 locos allocated to Northern Ireland 208 & 209 which are identical to the Irish Rail class 201 the only difference now is that the nameplates are both in English, when the IR ones are in English & Irish

208 River Lagan & 209 River Foyle locos are shown in 3 separate liveries over the years

Neil,
AFAIK; the nameplates River Foyle were presented to NIR, but were never fitted for some reason or another.
209 never carried the name "River Foyle" on the cabside.
