    Wonderful... thanks for sharing this image!!! "Locomotive B124 was built for Coras Iompair Éireann (CIE), the Irish State owned transport company by General Motors at their premises at La Grange, Illinois, USA in 1960." Thanks for the link Seuss... wish things were still this booming here in the USA... praying for a better day for both our countries!!!

    Seuss. Thanks so much for the great link, now added to the description for this photo. Great to see B124 in "glorious technicolour"!

    Oh boy, I love trains! Good to learn about the locos themselves. Any further images of Irish railways are much appreciated!

That's some test run...

    The first single-cylinder Marshall tractor to be introduced was the Marshall 15/30 in 1930. It had an 8-inch (200 mm) bore with a 10-inch (250 mm) stroke (= 8.237 liters) and the maximum speed was 550 r.p.m., or 9.1666 revolutions per second. In 1932 the 15/30 was upgraded to become the Marshall 18/30. This model featured the same bore and stroke dimensions but the maximum r.p.m. was increased and the tractor's transmission was heavily modified. The Field-Marshall tractors were commonly used to pull agricultural machinery such as threshing machines from site to site. Once in place, the Field-Marshall would be used as the powerplant for the threshing machine, the tractor's belt pulley coupled by a large flat drive belt to the threshing machine's pulley. Field-Marshalls with tracks were produced under the Fowler brand name, being converted in the Fowler factory at Leeds. The first was designated the "Fowler VF", later ones were "VFA"s.
