It's the hot flushes that get me down , especially in the current heat waves! Roll on the Winter when I should have had the radiotherapy and be off the hormones! I've had my moneys worth out of the NHS in the last few years.

A couple of interesting prints from my collection, as I do not have copyright I won't upload them to flickr. The prints were in John Dewings' collection but I know that they were taken on a trip to Ireland in April 1940 with his quote 'my oldest friend Frank Jones away from war torn Britain before both joind up' The prints have the initials FKHJ on the reverse, I wonder whether the negatives and/ or Mr Jones survived. Castlegregory Junction , No 6 on Tralee bound goods train 11 April 1940. Tralee station same date.

I have a couple of John Dewing prints but not the negatives which possibly do not now exist as in the his later life he cut up various negatives or threw them out. As I do not have copyright I will not upload them to flickr and as far as I am aware they have not appeared anyway in the media etc. before. The first one is dated 14 Sept 1936 with No 3s on a train leaving Skibbereen. The sceond one is of No. 4s just outside Skibbereen station 9 April 1940. Does anyone know if the negatives are still extant and who has them.

Fingers crossed for you!! Brings back memories from the 1980's which is a bit worrying because I can't remember much from last week!

There is a pipe sticking up with a knob on the end, on the inside of the tank on the third photo which corresponds with the pipe on the loco on the first photograph and its also the same number 2. The loco in the shed at Tuam nearest the camera has the pipe/ in a different position and is missing its cab plus I think the plates and number are in a lower position on the tank side. Casserley noted they were 1 and 3 so probably 1.

I have found another negative but don't know the location , I think its probably at Thurles Beet Factory.
