  • Excellent stuff!

  • The A class sure were the work horse of CIE in their day

  • I remember being allowed on this engine when I was a child while shunting and the driver brought me through the catwalk through the engine compartment to the other cab! What a treat!... One thing that stands out in my mind is the hotplate in the cab to boil the kettle... different times

  • @fireeater999cmcc there is still a hotplate in the 2600-2800 railcars :L

  • @fireeater999cmcc The A Class could boil kettles too? That would have been a treat for the drivers. Making tea in the cab!

  • they are metropolitan vickers engines.havent seen one for a long time,classic,miss those trains,ireland seemed a better place back then

  • Can't remember the exact date but as you can see in the back ground is a class 201.

    All the 201's had arrived and the last few where still been run in and on driver training.

    When this was filmed there were only 4 'A' class left and this shot contained 2 of them.

  • I got my first video camera in 1995 and by the time I got filming, the 001s had been taken out of service :( I reckon this video is 1994?

  • Nice video 012 was stopped on April 4 1995

  • Brings back memories. I used to love the 001s. Noisy old beasts they were. When was this filmed?

  • cool vid i bought a model of that engine a while back
