Evening all,

231 made it's first runs post overhaul yesterday (Tuesday) with a special down to Killarney. Whilst I was in college, I was able to get shots of it prior to departure from Heuston. Photos from the past two days also include the unusual appearance of an 071 class in the station stabling sidings (compared to the former Guinness yard) at Heuston. As always, click on any of the photos to view them full size

Morning all,

A few shots from Friday including the 071 tour. Photos do also include the normal traffic expected on a Friday. I was on the box at Islandbridge Junction for around an hour, during which time a light engine, the IWT, a Mark 4 set and the tour passed - and people said variety was dead! As always, click on any of the photos below to view them full size or the link at the bottom of the post

Afternoon all,

The last day of May has been one of wall-to-wall sunshine and warm weather, and two hours down in Portlaoise produced some interesting turns, such as 073 light engine and 080 on a loaded materials train. Click on any of the shots to view them full size
