Hi all,

On the 30th anniversary of the formation of Iarnród Éireann, the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland's 'Yank' 134 was moved from Connolly to Inchicore for body overhaul for the future main line career of the loco. This was the only 1994-logoed vehicle moving that day, with the 1976 'Retro Train' 071 working the 0815 liner ex Ballina. Click on the photos below to view them all

Good morning all,

Once again, as part of my college course in DIT, we were invited for a tour around Inchicore works. Rolling stock observed included:

-234 in the Ramps getting engine attention
-232 waiting bogies
-222 in the paint shop
-2615+2606 waiting for the lathe to beome free
-Various 071's in the yard
-216 outside the running shed

Photos also include a spin to Drogheda and the trip home.

Once again, thanks to all involved, especially the IÉ staff who gave up the time to show us around.

They have come a long way in the last 15 years. Still a long way to go though to get to a standard to rival other European countries

Some great pictures there. I've not visited Ireland for about 10 years now. I use to visit twice a year when the ITG trips were on and did a few other trips too. Unfortunately circumstances change, I don't know when I will be able to come back over.

Good evening all,

On Saturday I completed what should have been an hour trip - Portlaoise to Dublin. For me however it took around 10 hours, as rather than going direct I took a trip to Ballina and Sligo, to clear the Sligo line for travel. As always, click on the photos below to view them all

Many thanks - makes it that bit better that you got wet (more than likely!) and that someone enjoyed them!

I'm a bit behind on the posting at the moment, so a few from last week to start the weekend off. As always, click on any of the photos to view them full size.

First, a week in the Dublin area:

On Saturday 25th February I went to the Waterford and Suir Valley Railway as a visiting volunteer. Many thanks to all of those down there who accomodated me for the day. I must return - but in sunnier weather!
