    Very interesting! It's like someone pushed an EMD AAR stand on its back and made it a desktop control stand, complete with Bakelite throttle handle!

    Oh my goodness. Didn’t realise they had trains in Ireland. How quaint.

    I miss the sound of the Baby GM's. I grew up beside the line in Shankill and watched work the commuters before electrification. Even after that they double headed the Wexford express. The sound of my childhood :)

    Irony: watching a video of a train ride when riding the train.

    On this occasion it had been arranged before hand as part of the ITG's event at Downpatrick, you could still try your luck though, the staff can be agreeable.

    Love the sound of that 567 power plant. GM had a winner with that one. We had a lot of engines here in the US with that prime mover as well. Some of that track towards the end of the video looks like you could put a train on the ground pretty easily. Hope they're working on that.

    Wow! Never seen a GM throttle turned on its side and shoved into the dash like that!

    @Leadplug How do you know it's not one of those mongrel things that sticks and needs to be handled with some force to prevent getting three when you only wanted one.....had that happen plenty of times.

  • @Eiretrains
    @Eiretrains  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @EWS60008 Maybe when 146 returns to service you can apply for a cab ride if the Downpatrick Railway restart that offer!

    @Rocketboy1950 Thanks for the video share, that sure sounds very similar, and much louder! I wish they'd get a new life, as the small Irish GMs are effectively retired now.

    Just after the cutting, slippy track due to weeds.

  • @Rocketboy1950
    @Rocketboy1950 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sounds just like the ones I used to drive. There was a bit of a rumour that some of your retired dogbones were coming over here for a new life.
