Дизел локомотиви

Hello.
I have not been here in a while. Im looking forward to my trip to Macedonia. I will be Skopje on Saturday 28th September for two days,arriving on overnight train from Belgrade. Does anyone know if this train carries sleeping coaches or couchettes. We were hoping to make the Bitola train if it is loco hauled, but it seems to be a Dmu these days.
We are hoping to see low nose 661-408 or 410 on a train.

087 on ore/zinc train at Dublin approaching port.This locomotive has not run in about 2 years, and is getting bodywork repairs.

29413 DMU railcar built 2001/2005 29~4car sets built by CAF in Spain and used on commuter services.
On the right is EMU "DART" unit built in 1984 in Germany by Link Hoffman Bush and used on commuter services in Dublin area only.
I will upload more soon.

AT LAST..... After many attempts i got the image size correct.This just a test image. 072 on railtour from Dublin to Sligo last Friday 10th MAY.
Locomotive 072 built by GM in 1976. The coaches behind are preserved. They were built in England in 1960s.

I will do that. It will be about month of September when i plan to visit.
I will keep posting on this forum.
Thank you to everyone.

Thank you very much for the information.
It is good that they are still making repairs to 661 locomotive. I like the low nose 408/410 but have not seen them yet. hopefully the will fix 404 and i will see them on my next trip.

Thank you for replying so fast. I was just looking at the electric locomotives section and i seen 441-755 looking very good.
I see 661-236 got a new power unit. I traveled with that loco to Bitola after 234 failed leaving Bogamila. We waited 3 hours for 236 to come to assist us, but it added to the fun of the day as we got some photos of both locomotives then had a beautiful dinner and beer when we arrived in Bitola. I really like the 661s as they sound similar to the locomotives (141 class) we had here in Ireland until a few years ago.
The railways in Ireland have changed so much in the last 5-8 years. Plastic Railcars DMUs everywhere.
Thanks again for your reply

Hello
This is my first post.
I had a short visit to Macedonia about 2 years ago. I traveled from Skopje to Bitola and Kicevo with 661 locomotives.I really enjoyed my short visit and i hope to return very soon.
Does any person know which locomotives both diesel and electric are still working today, and which 661 locomotives were cut-up (scrapped)at Skopje depot last year. I think 147 and 239 were scrapped.
Also will 661-237 be repaired.
Best wishes from Ireland.

МЖ 661-236...Прилеп...
