GNRI today as there are a fair number of negs 'in stock' Clones 8 May 1948 U Class 198 and a gleaming 84 at Adelaide 4 days later.

It was covered in a previous topic as the eBay photo had been snipped and commented upon This was Garfields reply then Posted September 22 I've seen a couple of other photos of the Sulzers with snatchers fitted and they also had them fitted in this way; it seems the snatcherman had to travel in the rear cab. I'm not sure if there was a communication system in the cabs or if it was a case of the snatcherman having to run through the engine room to warn the driver if the staff wasn't picked up successfully...

Cork and Limerick Junction today. Purchased B107 off EBay primarily because of the Tablet catchers. 470 station pilot at Cork 27 June 1959 and B102 at Limerick Junction on the same date.

Memories of the Heuston station pilots from 1995, photographed by G Roose. 185 & 187 11 April.

Going to have a couple of days living in the railway room 10th November as I have to isolate after my Covid Swab until an Operation 2 days later so need to check I have enough modelling supplies. Had a notification that A3r is on its way but still nothing regarding my green A42. At least it looks like I will have a cattle special to run. Four Masters fiddle yard is now operational and the remaining track for the goods yard plus Alum Bay station (which will function as loco holding sidings in Irish running mode) plus a link to a planned North Eastern Railway coal drop cameo should also be laid.

NCC/NIR today. I have a fair number of images to upload although some are 'repetitive' 9 uploaded to flickr today; here are a couple of them WT 10 at York Road and 27 acting as station pilot, 13 May 1967

Mixed bag today and that also means as to photo quality. Ex M&GW coach 151M 27 August 1956 at Mallow, Inchicore K1 380 ca 1948 by JG Dewing & Athlone ex M&GW station 1967.

Great Northern today. Omagh 107 22Aug 1954 , 209 Dundalk 25 Aug 1954 & QG 155 at Drogheda on the same day.

I have joined the bandwagon and purchased an A3r - down to 33 now. Well the Winter Fuel payment is due so here's hoping for a mild winter.

Jim , you need to send a flickr request quoting your membership number to the IRRS to become a follower and they will then add you to the members who can access their flickr site.

I shall change it to ca 1966, I was given a pile of negs with neg sleeves dated 1965 through to 1968 but the negs had all been taken out and re-inserted in the wrong sleeves. There are numerous other ones to go on flickr Here are views at Bray and Dundalk.

No shouldn't be a problem , Santa lives in Lapland which is in Finland - part of the EU

Book arrived today and is excellent, no narrow gauge Jim but 5 SLNCR Galteemore!

Dublin Connolly 4 May 1968 today . B170 & WT56 which I think was on a Special from Belfast.

UTA today. MED 18 and NCC 4 circa 1966.

Langley Models do 4mm painted metal ducks etc but probably not a good idea to order from UK at the moment! https://www.langleymodels.co.uk/awd1/index.php?route=product/product&path=203_206&product_id=5558

GNRI today Both Ca 1955. A wintry day at Amiens Street and Armagh station

I could have sworn yesterday that when I went on the Shop site there was an advert for an ITG A3r as preserved version Class A but later on it had gone. Now I havn't touched a drop of the hard stuff apart from strong tea for the last 40 years. Have I gone even softer in the head or did anyone else see it?

A bit of nostalgia! October was for a few years time for the trip to usually Waterford for the Beet. A couple from the camera of Graham Roose today. Wellington Bridge. 085 on 25 October 1995 and a general view at sunset 27 October 1995.

These 2 arrived today. Only A42 outstanding now as it was ordered 18 September last year and no notification yet, whereas these 2 were only ordered in July this year

Wrong one Tony, I'm the one with the short fat hairy legs! Ernie

1980's today. Westport 25 June 1986 071 and 051 on 27 June 1986 at Kilkenny on bagged cements.
