Diesels at the Downpatrick & County Down Railway

A day of diesel action at the DCDR, with 450 class thumper "Antrim Castle" (which featured in the TV show Derry Girls) providing the passenger services, and 80 class thumper and 141 class GM diesel shunting around in preparation for the arrival of ballast wagons from IE.

I’m famous! I should have put on makeup…

Shame that they let the 80 class get into the shape it’s in

[@mikebni]

Ahem. We didn't. It came that way.

The graffiti was done whilst still in NIR ownership, Matthew. We actually tried to remove it but it was too well dried on. Any photos of it in York Road show that. But no, you had to go and blame the heritage railway who saved it, didn't you?

I mean it was in bad shape before but why did they not re paint it like 69
