    Thanks Guys, well I had my bag packed for a stay over the New Year festivities but after (for me) a record passage through Cramlington A&E/Ambulatory Care of 4 hours 25 minutes and 32 seconds - not that I was counting; I have been returned to Haltwhistle pending a further scan at Hexham Hospital tomorrow and a visit to the Doctors on friday. I also have a bagful of Antibiotics. Give me a few hours to recover George and I shall reply. That slide of 138 at Clonmel taken by John Dewing is of superb quality to start with - which was half or more of the 'battle'

    I'm thinking Milltown looking south, Stillorgan has footbridge in wrong position and 4 upstairs windows rather than 3 with arched uppers. However I can't find a photo!

    Locos changed at Sligo Quay where the Sligo & Donegal Junction connects to the rest of CIE, and trains have to reverse direction. Swopping locos meant they didn't have to run back up to the shed to turn the loco.

    I have started constructing the station buildings for Four Masters but unfortunately having run out of Mek Pak attempted to use Liquid Poly which stinks so having put away the parts have now switched to forming the hillside behind the station. The NHS have thoughtfully supplied the framework although I don't think they had this down as a pre-requisite.

    Kilfree Junction today 19 May 1959

    Some wagons arrived from John Mayner in New Zealand today; I wasn't expecting these until next year! There has been some progress on Four Masters station but havn't much energy at the moment and its a bit nippy in the loft.

    Its a different locomotive from that in my shot. I have had a quick scan through the Smugmug collection but don't recognise any of the views. Some of the research is a bit suspect especially photo no 210 which is said to be J15 255 on the Kerry branch. Well yes it is the Kerry branch but its actually the Van & Kerry branch in Mid Wales and the locomotive appears to be a GWR Dean Goods or ex Cambrian 0-6-0.

    Here's a substitute jhb a recently acquired negative showing the Driver and his dog posing for the photographer ca 1958/9 at Dunsandle. I think the photographer was probably Roy Denison

    More from the Alex Ford/The Transport Library today, due to a cock up er technical error some of the file sizes are not very large. If anyone actually orders a scan or print from the Library please mention my name as it would facilitate me getting my hands on other Irish material hidden away in their Archives.

    Three more Roy Denison views today, this time on the CB&SC. First view shows 2 x 6 wheelers attached to the Bantry railcar at Albert Quay. Apparently these were detached at Drimoleague and added to the branch train to Baltimore (2nd view). They returned the next day via Drimoleague and then behind the railcar. 3rd Photo at Clonakilty Junction June 1958.

    Mine is made by Dart Castings, 2 separate models of a donkey and what is described as a Farm dung cart I think. The cart is 8 castings and you could just leave off the body if you wanted to model the 'flatbed' version as at Valencia.
