Its at Dingwall probably taken after the Dornoch branch closed. 2 16xx panniers 1646 & 1649 were transferred to Helmsdale to work the Dornoch branch which had very restricted weight/axle loading after the last Highland Railway tank 55053 broke an axle and there was nothing else light enough to work the line. The 16xx tanks were almost new having been built in BR days. Back to Ireland now! CIE 1958-09-11 Galway station G2 654 The last 2 are at Castlefinn on the Donegal. CDRJC 1959-12-04 Castlefinn 10.45 Stranorlar- Strabane 'Erne' (6) CDRJC 1959-12-04 Castlefinn 11.10am Strabane-Killybegs (10)

I succeeded at the weekend in successfully bidding for the late Roy Dennison's Irish colour slides to go with the 200 odd negatives of his I acquired some 3 months ago. I will put these 7 on as one upload as they show the sequence at Ballinascarthy of the last regular steam working on the old CBSC (excluding Albert Quay) and the last beet train off the T&C. These CB&SCR slides appeared in Reflections and Reminiscences of the Railways West Cork published privately some years ago but the images were very small now you can enjoy them to the full! Other slides acquired include County Donegal, Valentia Island, Fenit, West Clare and many others.
