He’s been in touch to offer me a discount, which I declined. ….

I do not know what it is but it not CDR
The type is wrong they never had an 0=6-0
The Gauge is wrong it should be 12mm
The colour is wrong.

Kit Built OO Gauge County donegal railway joint Committee | eBay
Do not know who the seller is trying to kid here.
I sent a message to tell him and got a snotty reply saying he knows what it is!
Just wish he would tell the rest of us then.
That’s truly awful. It’s not even geranium red!!

For NIR, try Silver Fox Models. Basic but solid models. Also try @WRENNEIRE here, who is a pretty good guide to what may be available second hand (thinking here of a Murphy 111), and what should be paid for it. Watch eBay too. Occasionally things pop up.

Lanyon Place to Dublin is 113 miles 46 chains. Dundalk is 54 miles 30 chains from Dublin. So something in region of 59 miles plus. I’ll let you have fun of doing the precise maths. 80 chains per mile btw.

I’ll actually have a look at the model today to check what year he made it, out of interest.
Oct 1960 I think……

Excellent David - pushing the frontiers again…..very distinctive vehicles. Railcars/railbuses are dead easy to build so an extra challenge will help sustain interest

Very nice. That front 3/4 at Manorhamilton was a photographer’s favourite I think. Looks like 2pm goods from Enniskillen

It’s been rumoured… Mr Weaver hasn’t said no
He’s busy elsewhere. He’s so angry about Gt Victoria St being replaced they even named the project after him.

There's generations' worth of lack of values.
That’s one thing we don’t lack. Values are everywhere - everyone has them. But it’s an economic term: values have no hard or fast standing and can change. And we all value things differently….
What we increasingly lack are virtues, I think.

Well, my drawing purchase has just landed. For obvious commercial reasons I won’t post the images here! Suffice to say they are top notch and incredibly well done. Even if you aren’t a scratch builder they would be a nice bit of wall art. No connection other than satisfied customer.

Yep. Any romantic ideas you have about 50s Ireland killed stone dead! Grimly real.

The reference to the dance hall is a nice bit of colour and I can just see the evening workings from Drogheda… although of course Ireland’s premier and legendary ‘Ballroom of Romance’ was located on Ireland’s premier and legendary railway, within walking distance of Glenfarne station on the SLNC…..the movie it inspired in 1982 is still wonderful….

JB I was thinking maybe a bit later, the branch would still be in GNRB hands until 1958 I think? A30 would probably be devoid of her silver livery by then though.
Could be a through working from Navan and the Meath Road…..

Fabulous staging, editing and sound - very well done.
Actually brings back warm memories of Clogerhead from a little later time - great nights in the Aishling Ballroom in the early 80's ! (probably long since renamed and repurposed ?)

These are fabulous. Given the cost of a colour photo in the 50s, unsurprising that few people took such views - better to spend the money on 3/4 loco shots! So glad he did though - gives a real insight into what it was like to travel on the Irish NG.
Thanks Leslie - I’d just never seen one at Clones before.
