classic STEAM engines of ireland and something for the diesel people

[TheMoylesyRockin]

There is only 1 mainline certified steam loco in ireland at the moment. They need more as what happens if the one they currently have fails.

Slieve Gullion's whistle sounds like a Bullied Pacific.

At a glance it looks liek Edward Henry and James are passing! If you ignore te detail differencies.

[lokoiutfftty]

@sparkshot colour-wise i'd agree but i think 461 would be the perfect shape, wheel arangement and proportion to be james :) (minus the fact its never had a red livery :L)

one hell of a video. Wish I could see those locos up close

[no4472]

Great Vid, It would be great to get Meabh under steam again, thundering about the mainlines! Any interest? after all it's the pinnacle of Irish homegrown steam development!

[Jimtrek]

I'd be very interested. Saw the fine old lady last year in the museum in Cultra and it's such a shame to have such a fine engine in storage. The day I was there I met an old railway fireman that had occasionally worked her. He said there would need to be some work done around her chimneys and boiler? but aye, a little money, a lot of time and the say so of the powers that be and it could indeed be road worthy. It never saw out it's full sevice time so there's plenty of years left Flying Scotsman

Hi Jim, It would great to see it tearing up the line occasionally!

[no4472]

I think thats worth a lotto grant as much as a golf club!!

[tomhayfield]

[rudtv]

[librero46]

Q, Can four engines coupled be called a "TRAIN" ?

[Brendambranch]

@librero46 yes

[RPSI1718541864613BG]
