The narrow guage engine was lifted by a four-legged gantry, a standard guage wagon was wheeled underneath, and the engine lowered into it. The wheels on the engine turned the bogie wheels and this combo was used to draw in supply wagons into the brewery from Kingsbridge station, which was just across the road. Saved having to operate a separate engine for that duty. Clever. The engine was manufactured by Geoghagans in Dublin, and was small to negotiate the tunnels in the brewery. We have an almost complete example in the Cavan and Leitrim Railway museum in Dromad, Co. Leitrim. I believe there is a complete example in Cultra museum, in the 'wee north'. I may have photos on my computer.
Fun fact: the Dublin Piggyback was actually a British thing that Wilbur Awdry discussed in The Railway Series, as Skarloey had spent some time in a piggyback converter car assisting the North Western Railway in completing its main line, which contributed significantly to his early wearing out and overhaul
"Never carry a large drum in public around drunk people." Oh lawd. That reminds me of this time I was marching in a Mardi Gras parade with a sousaphone, and some drunk (with surprisingly good aim and distance) threw a not-quite-empty beer can RIGHT into the bell. Got the can out easily; the smell of Bud Light, not so much.
I think I woke my roommate up by laughing too loud. That was great. Now I finally have that push to become an ES&D Conductor to see the lost bonus episode.
Mark I can only write I'm able to translate in my own words. You, Leighton, Brett and Eric are one hell of a great team and friends. I am always looking forward to watch the four of you do things together and every time I'm laughing so hard at what your saying, joking or throwing at each other. Keep up the good work and spirit because this is what I'd say is what true friendships about. I'm looking forward to your next video, with all of you guys together. Have a great evening, kind regards Bjørn. 🇩🇰
@@Hyce777 Well considering there's only like one town in the Narth and the rest are subburbs of said town that question should of been easy but 3/4 of an idiot still gave the wrong answer.
First rail route in Ireland was actually built to 4ft. 8.5 inch gauge (Dublin to Kingstown Railway). Then the first railway in Ulster, now Northern Ireland, was built to 5 ft. 6 inches when railways began to be built from Dublin to Belfast the gauge discrepancy meant that a British board of trade commission was convened to rule on what was to be the Irish standard gauge. Because of the rising North v South tensions they decided to split the difference and said that the mainline network throughout the island of Ireland was to be built at 5foot 3 inches.
@@Hyce777 Yeah, looking back it was beyond dumb. It basically has meant that every piece of rolling stock has had to essentially be bespoke, a case in point being the GM (EMD) locos that have become the backbone of Irish Rail operations since the 60s and even steam locos that were based on British designs. I refer to them as GM diesels as they have always been known to Irish Rail as GM products.
Soooo many good parts in here...but I'm gonna have to give 16:58 the funniest moment of the video, literally had me crying it was so funny. Though honorable mention to 11:26 - 11:38, because that was also a good one.
Being Irish the accents were actually pretty good, also one of the funniest things i've heard. Also its nice to see that railway stuff from here is noticed in other parts of the world too. Love the videos too👍
8:43 I can’t!!! 😂🤣 I’m also a volunteer at the Hesston steam museum in LaPorte, Indiana. Of course, I’m not active at the moment due to college, but hopefully if I get a chance, I’ll be able to go back and volunteer. Cheers from Michigan! 🙂👋
3/4th of 1 Idiot talks about Piggybacks, Hogs, and a new, birdshot version of the */MyStErY CiTrUs/* awesome! SPOILERS Congratulations Eric on your victory Quotes of the Video 16:47 "That's just sour" and 17:00 "GET HIM AGAIN!"
Colorado School of No Minds, that explains the 3/4 idiots 😂 Just kidding. While I lived in Denver I did work with several School of Mines alumni and dated one. She and I started working at the company at the same time. I went to Georgia Tech and both schools have fight songs based on the same ballad.
I would love to see one like this about some none of you have any idea about, like ships or planes, I think that would be hilarious. Also. great episodes and MORE LIMES!
Not even one month and I've gone from not knowing of you at all to planning to become a Conductor (which will be my first membership) Cheers, and praise Coffee.
491 was 1026(also 1126). The boiler of the k-37 was kept after rebuild from the C-41. So, of you play the cards right, you could rebuild a K-37 to a C-41 as the boilers are from the C-41. So like from 498 to 1009 for example as the build numbers are the same.
A correction. The engines were made by Spence, the rolling stock tipping wagons by Geoghagans. Couldn't find the photos, but I will find them next visit to the museum. P.S. The Golden Museum is great. Visited it in 96 or thereabouts. P.P.S. Lifting injectors are a bitch ! Just spent a weekend fixing one.
All y'all shall organize everyone, and I mean everyone by heights, and you'll need a tape measure too. Organize yourselves in a line, making a silhouette of a very fancy train based on loco to human measurements. Take a picture of it. Fancy idea for fancy people.
that irish accent you all did in this one brang me back to my father, he's from Newfoundland and has that kind of accent except it's very canadian-ized

one of these days, someone's gonna be in the pit, greasing 491 and be like "is that a fucking LIME??"

I halfway thought Brett's "Misconstrued Hogger" story was gonna be that the term Hogger came from the term Hostler as slang for locomotive engineers
Oh, Ireland, and your better-than-standard-but-still-not-7ft gauge railways...
Broooaaaad
Being Irish the accents were actually pretty good, also one of the funniest things i've heard. Also its nice to see that railway stuff from here is noticed in other parts of the world too. Love the videos too👍
4:00+8:40 Why is that accent so good? I watched enough Irish youtubers to say thats spot on XD
Brett is really good at impressions, lol

Quotes of the Video 16:47
"That's just sour"
and 17:00
"GET HIM AGAIN!"
The Guiness engine is actually on display in a Welsh museum, near the famous Talyllyn Railway.
way better than jeopardy. Unfortunately these guys need more limes, lemons, and oranges to throw at each other.
We'll fix that for next time

Yup, Mines wholeheartedly stole the Georgia Tech one and changed the Georgia to Golden... no one calls it Golden Tech. lol
Oh you just made my day, love you guys doing these 3/4s of an idiot in search of a 5th (has mystery citrus thrown) lol
6:15 Compressor says hi again :P
Brought to you via the 5 foot 3 and 3 foot gang
11:35 And everyone stared at the K-37 in the room.
Love this game, was my favorite series the technical difficulties ever did, and to see one themed specifically around trains is even better.
I would love to see one like this about some none of you have any idea about, like ships or planes, I think that would be hilarious. Also. great episodes and MORE LIMES!
give us MORE!!!!!!
Edit: y'all should consider stand up comedy
Another awesome episode! I really like where this show is going, I just hope ya don't run out of topics! hahah :P
oh we won't, lol
@@Hyce777 Hahah Can’t wait for the next one

I got really excited when I was “34 idiots” but t’was only a typo
Still a great video tho!
We need more of these!

And the wheel spins, and lands on Ireland!
precisely, lmao
The narrow gauge engine was indeed 20" gauge but the wagon was 5'3" gauge.
