I have been working through some donated Dia-Dema reversible type film slides this week. They are in a terrible state but some 45 of the 80 have been rescued and 41 of these have been identified as to location etc. They all date from 1964/5. These 4 need locations.
Comments welcome!
x245 N Ireland 1964'5 where!
x244 NCC N Ireland 1964'5 where!
x216 N Ireland 1964'5 where!
x209 N Ireland 1964'5 where!

Thanks, I will amend the Title accordingly. I think I read somewhere that the DNGR bogie coaches were transferred to the NCC during or before WW11 possibly to replace destroyed NCC stock during the Air Raids and that a third coach DNG no 25 was destroyed by bombing in Belfast.

A few arrivals this week, a friend gave me some 80 Northern Ireland slides from the the mid 1960's and today a mixed bag arrived including some JG Dewing negatives.
This one caught my eye. I'm pretty sure that the bogie coach is one of DNGR Tri-Composites 23 or 24 built for the Greenore- Belfast Boat trains in 1899. Please correct me if it isn't! EDITed to The bogie carriage is a GNRI vehicle, number 130, (a one off), originally H2 2nd/3rd class, downgraded in 1941 to all 3rd and allocated K21. Thanks Paul. I thought that if it was the ex D&NGR Tri-Composite it would have retained the 'LNWR' livery.

The above is a link to an aerial view of Enniskillen in the Britain from the Air site. I always thought that the canopy by the SLNCR Bay extended as far as the station and footbridge but it didn't even reach the terminal end of the bay platform

the Enniskillen view is basically of the section I’m building
Yes I noticed that in your Topic; I did a check through the scans that havn't been uploaded to flickr yet, the only other relevant one is a B&W negative of the colour image that is already uploaded.

2023 done! As at 31 December the number of hits on the Archive since the beginning in 2009 amounted to over 60 million (60183344) Now if I had received just a penny a hit that would have amounted to £601,833-44 and I could have probably just funded an RTR 00 scale GNRI VS 4-4-0. Back in the real world if one had to pay 1P per hit the total number would probably be closer 60183!
Ah Well! back to reality. I have approx 450 images still to upload but there is very little in the pipeline or on the horizon, but you never know what might materialise in future.
Four views today.

I can't get much done on the modelling front at the moment as the house is being renovated . Construction should start on the new layout next year but I usually can find time at Christmas/New Year for a bit of peace and quiet modelling; however I will have to make do with looking at a few images. Here are a couple from Glengarriff in March 2023 a few months before closure.

"so I have obscured her face" Wondering Why you did this?
No reason really! I definitely didn't get off (that includes the train I was on!)

CAPTIONS invited for this one!
The delightfully named Sins station in Switzerland back in May 1988, I don't know how I missed the possible 'interpretations' here when I took it, probably because I was far more interested in 10970. The loco and the old (possibly just exhausted) chap are probably no longer with us but the lady could well be so I have obscured her face.

Thanks, there is some indecipherable scribble on the top slide which might read near Lisburn.
This one is is also a recent arrival! Hazelwood at Sligo , 15 May 1956. JG Dewing of course! I have often wondered how Mr Dewing managed to take photos in Ireland during the War and have been given a postcard photo dated 20 April 1940 showing him on a cycle near Sandycove. The text reads.
" JGD on his way to Bray from Dublin on the last day of an epic fortnight spent cycling in Ireland with his oldest friend, Frank Jones; away from wartime Britain, before both joined HM Forces "
