    Seems to be a 4-4-0T of some sort.
  • derangedlemur said:
    Or maybe a 4-4-0. According to wikipedia the last 4-4-0T was withdrawn in 1939.
  • derangedlemur said:
    Yep. Apparently it's a GNIR class PP 4-4-0.

    I'm going to guess we are near Amiens Street. Hmm, Broadstone maybe? I think it is Broadstone.

    I'd say there was many a good story told in that group? That looks like a big spanner - the one in his hand not the man himself!!!! If he turns too quickly the man on the left will let him know what he thinks of him when he gets his breath back (if ever)!

    Swordscookie Methinks I'm the spanner for tagging that tool as a wrench! :D
  • Joefuz said:
    I think Broadstone is now used by Dublin Bus...
  • Swordscookie said:
    Joefuz, it has been for many years. At one time it was a national hub with the Royal Canal having a spur and basin nearby. Barges, buses and trains all operating from there and so close to the city centre must have made it a hive of activity. There was a repair depot attached to the station and accessible up further towards Phibsborough.

    The body work looks so good they could be waiting to go into service?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Liam Cheasty Looks as if they were, Liam. Thanks to O Mac's comment above, we now know they were relatively new and had over 2 decades of driving around Dublin ahead of them...

    That's my favourite bus. It looks so modern for its era.
