Brings a tear to my eye. Wonderful memories of wonderful times with wonderful locomotives. Well done to Irish Rail for keeping real trains going as long as they did, but less well done for replacing it so quickly with soulless plastic shit once they got going.
@4SRKT Don't worry i see many of the old trains up & rolling through waterford! but it is a real shame to see those new sheets of plastic roll by too!
How different things are today, with all these fancy new trains! When I was a kid in Drogheda, the 001 (A) Class were the most common, the 071s were only used on the Enterprise, and 141/181 were everywhere also. 121s only came to Drogheda with the push-pull trains in the late 1980s.
when was this video shot?

1. 5 over 5.
2. The engine makes a sound like American locos.
3. Are they not an old B124 and B134? I have a photo of B Class in "Irish Railways. The New History" book.

Hell! The engineer is really punishing these engines, amp meters must be in the right corner.
Saw this more often, pulling on notch 6 or so on a train still with brakes not loosened in Eire.
Remember when I was there in '87 hearing the loud noise even without a railway line in vissible distance.

What a show I simply have to se it over and over again and what a symphony the 121s are playing.
