    C Class diesel No.226 was on display at the Irish Traction Group base in Carrick-on-Suir on Sat 15th April, while the "Suir Lee Knot" railtour called at the station, with gloss now applied to one cab. She sounded great too!

    Rootes blown EMD-567. Sounds very nice. In NSW our GMs were nicknamed 'Yum Yums' because that is a bit like how they sounded at idle.
