"Even the most modern technology starts on the drawing board"!! Showing just how inconceivable today's design world was back then......just a few years ago....almost the last decade of the 20th century. Who then could have imagined CAD, CNC machines and 3D printing....clearly some bright sparks could...I wasn't one of them!

CAD, CNC . . . . ?! I couldn't even get beyond imagining Kingstown and Queenstown being called anything but that let alone Dún Laoghaire and Cobh!

9:32 -- I used to absolutely love those blue vinyl seats. They were sadly on the way out when I was going to school in town in the mid 1990s, but while they lasted, they were the most comfortable thing going.

The carriages used just before the ones been built here were British Rail, every door had a B.R stamp on them. Love this stuff thanks.

Even the ones built in Inchicore in later years (Mark 2 and Mark 3) were built to a BR design under licence.

I wonder how much old stuff was hanging around the back of Inchicore in 1989? The scrap roads were always interesting.
While the bulk of this video was recorded in 1989, and some probably earlier, the still picture at the start is misleading, showing a a 2600 "Arrow" DMU, which only entered service 1994. Construction of the mk3 Push-pull coaches did indeed occur in 1989, while the mainline mk3 coaches were built in inchicore 1985-87 approx. (The first ten coaches were delivered complete from B R E L in 1984)

Those G.M locos were something else, 44 years old some of them and still been used for freight/Tara Mines. Cant see the modern ones lasting. Shows a proper maintenance system works. Sadly not much happening in Inchicore today.

Great machines indeed. Once a machine is well maintained it can go on forever.

201 loco's only lasted 20yrs or less,problems with engine fires and bogie cracks ,all parked up in inchicore works,engines seized from being exposed to the elements and in some cases vandalised from tresspassers gaining unauthorised entry,significant investment gone to waste,

The photo at 2:15 in is missing the left portion of the image. This was the bicycle club and my great great grandad was the foreman on the left of the image John (Joannis) Owens. His son Tom is the 5 in from the left..I think if I am counting correctly. I would love to find out more about Tom. My grandad tried to find out what happened to him. If anyone can help it would be great. He believed he may have died in a shunting accident. Possibly in Mallow. If anyone could tell me who could help with information on John or Tom it would be much appreciated. I would love to finish my Grandad's story for him.

Hi there, you could contact the Irish Railway Record Society who may have details of personnel employed on the railway. They preserve a significant amount of records from the various railway companies down through the years.

I miss the mk3s. In hindsight the tan and orange was really outdated in 1989. That era should have brought in silver, red stripe colour liveries

Ironic and a pity how those carriages "built for the 21st century" were quickly scrapped in the 2000s. Rolling stock that's desperately needed today. Wasteful thinking never seemed to have died in Ireland

Carriages that drop faeces directly onto the track just don't make the grade these days and retention tanks were deemed too complicated to retrofit. (I wonder how they did this on the Belmond rake...)
