  10. I've been experimenting with taking stills off the old Sligo & Donegal narrow gauge layout video. A bit dangerous as I'm now getting the urge to build another but probably not a good idea now.!
  11. I'll start with the adverts this morning! 3 Boxes of unused/never out of the box Cement bubbles listed in the Classifieds.

  12. While I think on these are the coaches which will be available in the Irish liveries ie.the actual models but in SR livery.
  13. Mystery solved! I had an email last week from Hattons requesting the use of a J15 negative , I had an inkling it might have been the stock it was pulling rather than the locomotive. Unfortunately I have already purchased a rake of SR 6 wheelers for the S&DJR!
  14. A couple of views at Warrenpoint 24 August 1962.

  21. Not only are chocolate bars, biscuits and food generally are shooting up in price, manufacturers are shrinking the size of items to save money. Even I noticed the difference in the size of my muffins (not a euphemism , er but now I think on!) this morning when I lost one but it was under my knife.
  22. First 2 Inverness Last 2 Stranraer Harbour.
  23. This negative arrived yesterday and after scanning turns out to be Glenties on the CDRJC after closure but before track lifting. I have guesstimated the date as CA 1952 but maybe up to couple of years earlier. Not many images around of the Glenties branch, its early closure and no doubt the pull of Barnesmore Gap, Donegal, Killybegs and Ballyshannon and their more frequent service attracted the photographers.
  24. Londonderry & Lough Swilly, Van 71 at Letterkenny ca 1952 Ballybrophy 144 14May1988. Limerick 161 13 May 1990. .
