Yes, had a biopsy on me prostate which nowadays with the new procedure should be renamed the 'Ordeal of the 20+ cuts' and 2 days later they wanted suddenly to insert a camera into my bladder which I pointed out was not a good idea until everything had healed. So I now have this to look forward to on 2 March. Now awaiting the Biopsy results.

A bonus upload today as I am having a hopefully short holiday (fingers crossed) courtesy of the NHS tomorrow. County Donegal Railways. CDRJC 1958-06-27 Strabane Erne shunting. PFF148. CDRJC 1958-06-27 Strabane Drumboe on stub of Derry line with 3'45pm Letterkenny mixed. PFF157. CDRJC 1958-06-27 Strabane station overall view. PFF152. CDRJC 1958-06-27 Strabane SG & NG wagons. . PFF156. The Donegal wagons look deceptively large due to the track they are on being higher than the GNR one so that the wagon floors of both were at the same level to aid transhipping. They were bigger though than those on most other Irish narrow gauge lines.

4 negatives of Clonakilty 13 April 1955 taken by Richard Casserley , they are similar to HCC's already in the Album apart from the first view of the shed.

I can't confirm that as I haven't read or watched any Harry Potters and my diary is too full to spare time to watch or read any. Interpret that as Cantbearsed. Madame says Wor Lynne has 3 DVD's of each film and book though. Not much hope for Mankind!!

An excellent talk and especially with the information and anecdotes putting some 'life' into the photos and slides from my Archive. I must get the other views awaiting uploading done.

I think so, it may have been a swop for some Murphy Diesels, unfortunately the exact details are in that period from my age of 10 until my birthday last month when I can't remember much, they may have originally gone to Des Sullivan? My Minder says its too far! (300 miles) and she won't take me but I have registered for the talk.

This one Dave of the real one ;SLNC 1957-06-19 'Hazlewood' PFF023. Then this one of your actual model (I think). I had 2 and the other one had 'Lurganboy' nameplates. The layout its on lay unfinished for several years and the locos got a bit dusty. The Wing Tank is one of son Alan's creations which he no doubt sold at a later date. The layout bit the dust when Madame decided she wanted her front room back and everything was consigned to the loft for several years until she then decided that the rooms there would be ideal for conversion to bedrooms to cater for children and grandchildren when they came for holidays etc.

Oops, I just copied the title on the slide; duly amended . Thanks.

Enlarged but not much help. It was in the middle of the train so probably not being used as a Brake Van.

Christmas Eve and a couple of hours peace and quiet! I've had a sneak look at my present to myself (Collection X a 416 page book covering Peter Rampton's secret collection of some 50 narrow gauge locomotives purchased in the 1960's and ferreted secretly until recently). I have added 5 images below for those possibly lucky enough not to be in constant demand for attention over the next few days by Madame and also 17 month old twin grandchildren. Bah Humbug, roll on January 2026. Scottish enthusiasts for the Archive are about to be catered for by the upload of a number of unidentified locations. CIE 1955-04-21 Ballinrobe RMC83496 Cas25182.
