Spent this morning looking back at my June 2018 flickr album which covered the building of Glengarriff and its later Four Masters Bridge extension over the years. I can't remember if I actually put a flickr link on but it may provide some inspiration (or maybe not!) to our newer members on the forum. Most of the stock has moved on due to the space restriction caused by the move into the boxroom downstairs. https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishswissernie/albums/72157697362769724/

Thanks Leslie, very interesting! I think the slide of 198 at Lurgan was taken by A D Hutchinson and was part of an Auction Lot I acquired last year or the year before. The Lot of slides was supposed to be almost all Originals but definitely over half were not, however this one was genuine although a trifle faded which is probably why it had ended up at the Auctioneers. I am giving up acquiring new original material but there are still some 1200 Irish originals in the 'To upload' Folder.

Thanks, Title amended to Lurgan; I might already been advised that it was at Lurgan by someone on IRM but I'm not quite on this planet at the moment!

Yes, had a biopsy on me prostate which nowadays with the new procedure should be renamed the 'Ordeal of the 20+ cuts' and 2 days later they wanted suddenly to insert a camera into my bladder which I pointed out was not a good idea until everything had healed. So I now have this to look forward to on 2 March. Now awaiting the Biopsy results.

A bonus upload today as I am having a hopefully short holiday (fingers crossed) courtesy of the NHS tomorrow. County Donegal Railways. CDRJC 1958-06-27 Strabane Erne shunting. PFF148. CDRJC 1958-06-27 Strabane Drumboe on stub of Derry line with 3'45pm Letterkenny mixed. PFF157. CDRJC 1958-06-27 Strabane station overall view. PFF152. CDRJC 1958-06-27 Strabane SG & NG wagons. . PFF156. The Donegal wagons look deceptively large due to the track they are on being higher than the GNR one so that the wagon floors of both were at the same level to aid transhipping. They were bigger though than those on most other Irish narrow gauge lines.

4 negatives of Clonakilty 13 April 1955 taken by Richard Casserley , they are similar to HCC's already in the Album apart from the first view of the shed. CB&SC 1955-04-13 Clonakilty, RMC26060 RMC 83220. CB&SC 1955-04-13 Clonakilty, RMC26059 RMC 83219. CB&SC 1955-04-13 Clonakilty 36 9.05 to Clonakilty Jc. RMC26044 RMC 83224.

I can't confirm that as I haven't read or watched any Harry Potters and my diary is too full to spare time to watch or read any. Interpret that as Cantbearsed. Madame says Wor Lynne has 3 DVD's of each film and book though. Not much hope for Mankind!!

An excellent talk and especially with the information and anecdotes putting some 'life' into the photos and slides from my Archive. I must get the other views awaiting uploading done.

I think so, it may have been a swop for some Murphy Diesels, unfortunately the exact details are in that period from my age of 10 until my birthday last month when I can't remember much, they may have originally gone to Des Sullivan? My Minder says its too far! (300 miles) and she won't take me but I have registered for the talk.

This one Dave of the real one ;SLNC 1957-06-19 'Hazlewood' PFF023. Then this one of your actual model (I think). I had 2 and the other one had 'Lurganboy' nameplates. The layout its on lay unfinished for several years and the locos got a bit dusty. The Wing Tank is one of son Alan's creations which he no doubt sold at a later date. The layout bit the dust when Madame decided she wanted her front room back and everything was consigned to the loft for several years until she then decided that the rooms there would be ideal for conversion to bedrooms to cater for children and grandchildren when they came for holidays etc.

Oops, I just copied the title on the slide; duly amended . Thanks.
