  1. How many prototype Magnesite wagons were there? I can't find out but the info is probably staring me in the face somewhere!
  2. A bit more done; ground formation and rough back scene painting, on Ballyshannon (Donegal Junction) station. As it also has to double as Alum Bay the stock illustrated is great Southern rather than Great Southern!
  3. NCC 1948-05-12 Ballyclare Bank 70. & also 73 on a goods. JG Dewing.
  4. This could have been an emergency substitution for the Ballybrophy via Nenagh train but on reflection there are too many passengers! G611 Limerick 13 Sept 1986.
  5. The livery on the rest of the coach (s) apart from a small square containing the snail looks freshly done, maybe they just left a square around the snail because they didn't have any snail paint left! As jhb has pointed out the snails are on a small board covering the match boarding.

  9. I have been checking back through my files to try and identify scans that were lost when my computer crashed earlier this year. I don't think these are on flickr.

I actually have some more negs taken at the same time, this one shows the rear of Railcar 19's tail load as well as No 6 just arrived from Letterkenny towing a dead No 4 Wagon number is 316 originally Oldbury Carriage No 19 of 1893 and rebuilt as a van in 1927 according to Roger C's CDRJC Companion. It must have lost the van body in the intervening years.
