    I wonder what it is. It looks like a 121 except that they don't have a middle window facing back, and if it's facing forward, there'd be another window on the side before the big window. Where are all the usual rail bods? Edit: It looks like some had windows facing along the hood and others didn't. B132, seems to have one, for example. irishrailwaymodeller.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=6294 And 124 seems to have windows in some pictures and not in others. Anyway, I now pronounce this to be a 121 class locomotive looking three quarters rearward.

    The 121s had middle windows facing back (back is actually forward on the 121s - running cab forward is reverse). The windows were plated over as part of a cab upgrade in the early 2000s

Out of action or just taking a break?

    The body work looks so good they could be waiting to go into service?

    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.
