  1. Yet another reason to distrust the NCC - that Courtaulds place in Carrick is turning out artificial fabric by the ton. With its own sidings and two tank engines too!!!
  2. That’s how she came off eBay. Thankfully I have spares. She also needs a few other things but I won’t derail your thread. Did I glimpse Mr Weaver at one point?
  3. Please, with milk and SG
  4. It’s you VS me, Davey…..
  5. Taxi? join the Q!!!
  6. There’s also historical backing for peripatetic Us. 197 Lough Neagh made it as far as Mountmellick in 1960. Pic on IRRS Flickr
  7. Fabulous - I figured someone must have had pics of the event !
  8. Could that leading coach behind the VS be one of the ex LMS coaches which ended up on the GN? It is rather narrower than the other stock
  9. Amazing to think those blue GMs have done longer in service than the SG3 class !
  10. That’s part of the RPSI’s current problem. No one in NI qualified to drive main line steam!
  11. Fabulous stuff Patrick. I think the RBAI railway society ran a tour shortly afterwards with an ex GNRI U class. Hint hint….
  12. Now that has to be one of your biggest challenges to date….
  13. Yes it probably is. By 1964, though, it was a rare sight to see a CIE steam loco in Dublin. Steam on ex GN into Dublin persisted until 66, mostly Jeeps by then. The last VS run was in 65
  14. Last pic is especially interesting. Steam ‘officially’ ended on CIE in ‘63……just as in NI occasional steam lingered on until some months after the final spoil train.
  15. Fab. Have checked and that is Galteemore Snr in top pic - young man in brown jacket walking towards the photographer
