The Railway Preservation Society of Ireland is on the cusp of finalising an agreement that will see its Dublin-based General Motors Class 121 put through a majoroverhaul atthe Inchicore works of larnrod fireann-lrish Rail. No. 134 - one of the single-cab GM'Switchers'that led the American invasion of CIE back in 1961 - has been part of the RPSI's collection since its withdrawal in 2008, but had been in store at Inchicore owing to a lack of a base in the Dublin area. However, the society's lease of the former GNR(I) shed at Connolly station in 2015 has enabled the RPSI to bring its Dublin fleet together under one roof, and last July No. 134, together with 'Baby GMs' Nos. 141 and 175, were brought over from Inchicore to their new home.
