    I've now read the review in the mag, its a 60 page book with 62 photos so approx 50p a photo. Westcorkrailway you might prefer the October Journal, 9 page article on the Last days of railways in West Cork and a full back cover colour view of Courtmacsherry.

    Enclosed with the October Journal is this flyer for their first photo book. Price quoted is the members price so it might only be available to members only. Looks very interesting.

    Well I've found the original neg and it was with a group from an enthusiast Tour in 1961 so that's where the date came from. I will therefore amend the date to ca 1956 which would fit in with the locos 'as new' condition.
  8. Irishswissernie
    Yes I think the date is wrong, it must be earlier probably shortly after delivery given the general condition of the loco, sandboxes and absence of tablet snatchers. I have just watched a Crossley Bros 1956 film of A1 on delivery and there were no snails on it or snatchers fitted, so snatchers probably fitted after delivery or when they appeared more frequently on the single line tablet controlled sections. I need to try and locate the original neg and see if there is any info on its cover (this could take as long as it took for the Model 'A's to materialise!)

    Sligo Leitrim & Northern Counties today HC Casserley views from 18 May 1950. Sir Henry at Manorhamilton and 'Leitrim' which although Casserley has it down as Sligo shed, JW Armstrong has a similar view of it at Manorhamilton and given the look of the shed and the 'junk' etc in it I have amended the title to Manorhamilton as well.

    Sorry yes its Coleraine, its amazing to see how many photos were taken with no station staff in them. Platform staff/signalmen probably had white shirts and black waist coats as well.

  14. Irishswissernie
    I am somewhat 'overstocked' on new Cavan & Leitrim images and there are more in the pipeline so have uploaded another 6 to flickr today. Here's two of them at Drumshanbo 10 June 1957 , 5T & 4T crossing and a close up of an C&L Brake van with metal sheathing.
  15. Irishswissernie
    In this photo the casting stands out a bit better. I think the castings were possibly used on other items of infrastructure etc. When My JM Design Brake Van arrived John had included a set of etched Relay boxes with the snail on as I think mine was the first van order A38 Ardee 18 May 1963
  16. Irishswissernie
    The lined green one must be a bit later then, unfortunately the negative didn't have any details.

    Feels like the Winter is here today so I have been in the loft, worked on the scenery and ran a train to test out a point installed for Four Masters Goods Yard. I have also constructed a sort of Oak tree from a plant stalk nicked from Annie's flower bed.
