Morning all,
I've finally gotten around to uploading pictures from last Sunday's RPSI Radio Train railtour from Dublin to Kilkenny.
What should have been a simple out and back tour with the steam engine No. 4 turned into a "spin and win" railtour after No. 4 set off the Hot Box Alarm at Straffan and the the train was stopped at Sallins for it to be examined. It was found that there was a lubrication issue with a coupling rod bearing on No.4. The temperature was too high for the locomotive to continue and the train was shunted onto the loop and No.4 went into the head shunt.
Rescue came in the form of the Retro CIE livery 071 which was sent L.E. from Inchicore to Sallins to work the train forward to Kilkenny. At Kilkenny 076 on hand to shunt the train, originally to release No. 4 but as the tour was now diesel hauled 076 took over for the trip back to Dublin and shunt released 071 which then went L.E. from Kilkenny to Waterford.
Despite the outward delay it was an excellent railtour and with the 071's taking over we had an early arrival at Connolly. The RPSI kept all the passengers informed during the delay with regular updates and nobody seemed to mind the extended stay at Sallins (80 mins).

Thursday 1st September 2016:
A varied day today.
- Belmond Grand Hibernian at Clonkeen while enroute to Galway.
- Lunchtime trip to Monasterevin. All I got was 22009 on a local Portlaoise - Heuston trip. The main event (216 on a trial MKIV set) was cancelled and then reinstated to run about two hours later.
- That disappointment was somewhat rectified by spotting 071 in the PWD yard at Portlaoise.

Saturday 3rd September 2016:
I had imagined today being a nice Autumn Day and an afternoon chasing the Belmond Grand Hibernian. How wrong I was on both counts (mostly).
Pictures from the day start off at Newbridge Ballast Pit with 223 on the IWT Liner from North Wall to Ballina. Onwards to Heuston and it was pleasing to see 226 still against the buffer stops of Platform 2 with the BGH set. Belmond Blue liveried 216 was waiting in the carriage sidings to shunt onto the train.
I then popped over to Glasnevin to photo the train heading to Connolly and once that was done I headed north to Gormanston Viaduct to await the BGH heading North. What a long wait it turned out to be. See the pictures for the full story.
