Was this really at Downpatrick last week? It hadn't been seen since 2016 and had been reported as exported. It likewise doesn't appear on the Railways excellent fleet list page.
The markings on the photo show 160w SR Blue. I will add the photos to the site later, as there are still a lot to go through the acceptance process since March. All the best. Roger.
Can I please query the details for this machine? Both the build number, and the "Blue" designation point to this being an Atlas/Terex machine and not a Komatsu PW160?
I suspect this is one of the Atlas 180WSR's which King Rail have been upgrading for Breffini to use on the Irish network.
S. Duffy have four of these brand new dumpers. One is already R/R, one is being R/R now, and the other two are due to be R/R in the next couple of weeks.
A further milling unit has been reported in Ireland - unfortunately I don't have the details only that the unit is named AVA and carries the road re. GM 1943 HP, however, it appears that the MAN tractor units are interchangable, and that there may be upto three in active service
SA52UGS still taxed until February 2021. Interestingly, I feel that SA52UGS and SJ53CTX are different vehicles. SA52UGS is listed as built in 2003, first registered in January 2003, whereas SJ53CTX is listed as being built in 2004, first registered in January 2004. The latter's tax ran out in 2015. The logbook was last issued for CTX in 2011, with UGS being February this year. As far as I'm aware, if a vehicle has carried two different plates, then the former one will not be listed, only the one it currently carries.

Hello Nick,
No it wasn't, after checking what we had seen, it was mistakenly added. It will be deleted. Roger.

From reports it was so bad OHL Masts and stanchions were left hanging in midair
Anyway
The number on the Cabside carried LRB 26
Wondered if this was SPL Fleet No. As opposed to Volvo Lorry type
