    Fotopic went bust over 10 years ago and it took a few months just to get them to set up a temporary facility to retrieve files. I had some 15000 odd images on there which eventually were then put onto my Flickr 'Ernie's Railway Archive' You can recognise the ex Fotopic images as they used a - instead of a space between words and the retrieved files still have the 'underscore' as I couldn't be a*sed er didn't have the time to re-title them. They also owed me over £100 commission for photos they had sold plus the bulk of my annual subscription fee. On the whole Flickr has been far more satisfactory. C'est la vie!

    An interesting comment from Jonathan Allen on the original Aghadavoyle station Flickr post. 'Cabin closed 1965 - presumably at the same time as Goraghwood - Newry - Warrenpoint. Lever frame was on the first floor of the station building (in the bit jutting out) and later collapsed through the floor! For many years, it could be clearly seen when passing by train.'

    4 JG Dewing views today; the first is ex W&T no 4 (GSR 486) built by Andrew Barclay in 1908 at Waterford Manor in April 1940, although looking in good fettle the loco was withdrawn the following year. 3 views of Aghadavoyle bank and Aghadavoyle station. The station view is 8 June 1961. The other views are from the loco, SG3 UTA 35 on 31 May 1961 and there are some 18 slides of this trip up the bank and another trip on W Class 104 on 1 June 1961. A bit repetitive as they feature mainly the open countryside. I will add the others to flickr in due course.

    I now have that original slide as well. I didn't know the loco portrait slide existed but Mr Dewing had had a go at re-composing the slide image and I have had to clear some sticky tape off it before I could scan it. This probably put publishers off using it in the past. This is the one of the train at Manorhamilton Been on this topic before.

    I amended the fiddle yard tracks a few weeks ago to enable me to park loaded and empty slate trains out of site and thereby not having to switch the brake vans and locos. Instead there are 2 separate trains complete with loco and brake van. This view from a drone illustrates the new arrangement.
  16. Irishswissernie
    Yes I think so! Title amended, thanks.

    Conwy Falls, Baldwin No 4 on a Tailings Train circa 1937. FR 'Princess' on hire to handle increased traffic due to MOD activity prior to WW2. She had been 'done up' in the L&P Works, the railway were well used to the England locos having purchased 'Mountaineer' in 1879 and 'Little Giant' in 1932 from the FR as they fell out of use. A little known piece of history this but I only remember it when I forget to take my medication!

    Wexford , According to the photographer this was the17.45 to Waterford via Macmine Jc & New Ross,but appears to be rather a lengthy train for the service and there is no mention of such a train in the WTT's I have for 1948 & 1957. More likely to be a Dublin service, there was a 5.10 pm to Westland Row in the 1948 WTT.J15 114, 21 Sept 1953. Busy time at Strabane, CDRJC, Railcar 12, Phoenix & Blanche plus GNRI PGs 100, 13 July 1954. Cork, Albert Quay, 423 shunting Tar Tank wagon 6 July 1954.
