Great video! And whatever way you captured it the 171 seems very tall. But great to see these old locomotives still in action. These were always my favourite engines, used to keep me awake at night going by my house and I would always jump out of bed and look out the window at the Asaci Train passing late at night. Something scary about the rumble they created! Never really liked the 201s that followed with their closed in walkway and slanted fronts.
@IrishModelRail Thanks for jumping in there and pointing those things out to me. Of course I meant 071 class loco, that was a simple mistake, a simple slip of the finger on the keyboard you might say. I should probably have run a spell check for Asahi although they have long since ceased to operate in Ireland and as for the whole 071....(YUP Thats definately the 071 class locos) Vs the 201 Class Locos in the charachter stakes, well that is a matter of opinion. Thanks again.
Sorry about the accusations, everyone makes mistakes, including me! Have you seen the rain in Dublin today. I had to get off work because the conditions were desperate!!!
@IrishModelRail No worries my friend. Yea, ive seen pictures and have been chatting to friends up there, ye are hit pretty bad with it and looking out the window today it looks like its making its way into the Midlands :(. Ah well sure it cant be sunshine all the time I suppose :)

Firstly thats a Class 071 secondly, it's Asahi not Asaci and thirdly the 201s have as much character about them.

I'm curious- how many of these trains pass by a day? I know they don't operate at weekends.
