That's actually not bad in fairness just hasn't had a repaint in about 10 years. It was due for overhaul and repaint at the time so no point in cleaining it. It's slate grey now.

Here's a filthy one of 151,

There is a photo online of 224 in IE orange in Cork and it is caked in muck, all over the front of it is pure brown, all you can see are the headlights and the drivers windscreen. The side are amazingly clean though, it's like it was drove through a 20ft wall of sh1t. I've never seen the front of a 201 so bad. I can't find the photo for the life of me though and I think it was being driven by IE only female driver at the time.

Yep, that's it. I was convinced it was 224 for some reason.

I'm sure I've seen much worse hanging around Heuston in the 1990s, covered in rust, mud, soot and tar and one was left wondering if it would make its way all the way to the far side of the country.

definitely, the only time i can remember trains on the rosslare line getting a wash was during the foot and mouth, any other time they wer dirty

Captain Chaos

And to think IE had the A class in silver livery at the start, that was an uphill battle if ever there was one. They should have left them black, then they'd never have to clean them.

I did with the digital box, tis only a play thing. My video days of old, just like digital days of new, is only a side show, light entertainment tis all it is.
On a bright sunny day, the real camera is taken out, no digital nonsense or video footage will beat the quality of a 35mm slide, tis called ''sucking diesel''

Stored 3ICR 22014 was moved from Laois Train Care Depot to Inchicore Works for wheelset attention on Tuesday 26th November 2013. As 22014 cannot be started it had to be hauled up dead in train by 22051 at 35mph. The 1320 Laois Depot - Inchicore movement is pictured passing Cherryville Jct.

Why can't it be started, was it involved in some sort of problems or just requires a lot of work such as new engines etc.

Good to see the daytime Sandite out and about. It's been a bad slipping season.

With the Inchicore Wheel Lathe full to capacity this week, Limerick requested could they send 2803 + 2804 to Laois Train Care Depot for wheel turning on their lathe. The empty movement from Limerick was pictured at Clonkeen Bridge with the 0750 Limerick - Laois Depot.
