No.4 and train wait at the outer home
for the 09:30 Lisburn-Bangor to depart Platform 3 at Lisburn.

The train then pulls forward to the
water tower for water.

NIR Fireman Gary Moore is in charge
of the chain. Pulling the chain releases the valve stopping the water
from flowing down the bag. Un-sympathetic pulling of the chain can
soak the chain puller or the person directing the bag into the tank!

|
|
The person ensuring the bag and water
go into No.4's tanks is RPSI Roster Clerk Mark Walsh. His concentration
comes from years of soaking experiences! At least he has a warm fire
to dry off beside.

RPSI Driver and Footplate Representative
Brian Hill climbs aboard as the train prepares to pull forward into Lisburn
Platform 2.

|
|
The train pulls away towards the crossover
onto the Up line to Dublin, steam heat merrily blowing out the rear of
the train.
|
|
Later in the day No.186 is in fine
form as she coasts past Maze on her way home to Whitehead. The locomotive
has been in Dublin since the May Railtour.
