    Evening all

    I have added a large collection of photos taken by David Heath of Irish Rail’s Class 201 manufactured by the GM Locomotive Group (GMLG), London, Ontario, Canada . Prime mover being the EMD 12-710G3B the same as the Class 66, pity the 66’s did not look like these

    There are numerous livery changes starting with the familiar IR Orange
