B142 to Whitehead

Former Iarnród Éireann locomotive 142, recently acquired by the RPSI,
in a light engine move from Dublin to Whitehead, Co Antrim. We see the
engine on NIR metals at Adelaide, and then at Whitehead shortly after
arrival.

Not funny, it won't last long at Whitehead. The first time it won't start or fails it will be shunted into a corner and left to rot away. The big kettles are the priority there and it's a full time (and expensive ) job keeping them going.

@normken It has not started and failed about a fifty times so far, literally, and is still being persisted with, and used, so I'm afraid your theory is simply not true.

is 141 going to whitehead? or is it there already? or is it staying in dublin?

[MachaFilmStudios]

141 is not in Whitehead and there are currently no plans to send it there.

The "big kettles" have to be the RPSI's priority whether anyone likes it or not - however, this doesn't necessarily mean that 142 will be neglected in any way. Congrats to all concerned with both at Whitehead.
