  1. We have as far as I can remember only one steam special through Haltwhistle this year! Guess what, apparently a problem with the AWS equipment. 47237 towing 60103 24 July.
  2. Looking at the photos I put on then the line off to the left on them is just a siding as the map shows the Branch as leaving the GNRI line in the down direction ie behind the photographer.
  3. Cork & Dublin feature in todays offerings: Cork C212 arriving 12 Sept 1960 Dublin Connolly, Railcar 906 ca May 1965
  4. A couple from Omagh GNRI today. 122 on the 11.15am Omagh to Derry 26 June 1952 123 on ECS ex Enniskillen 19 May 1950
  5. Some views of ex M&GWR stations in 1967 some 30 years after closure. I hope the photographers identification notes were correct. Clifden Achill Ballynahinch
  6. A couple today from Aldergrove on the former GNRI Antrim branch ca 1955 I think.
  7. A bit of a contrast for todays photos, First the 'ancient'; Ex T&D 3T at Drumshanbo with the daily mixed 20 March 1959 I was surprised to see looking at Google street view that the Water Tower, Goods store and I think also the station building still exist with a bypass road built between the goods store and the tower which appear to be well maintained. Then we move to the 'modern' (for 22August 1953) for a somewhat cleaner well pristine even 802 on the 3.40pm (SO) Dublin-Cork.
  8. A couple from Dublin, Heuston circa 1965 today. B161 + B164 and E403 shunting.
  9. Does this help? The photographer took a photo of the train in Avoca station as well. EDIT OOPS, Sorry JHB I thought you were referring to the photo of A6 I had put on the Archive Thread morning Doh! Can this one be bumped across ?
  10. Yes its Dromod probably June 1957, I am sorting out a Collection of mainly UK negs but there are some 100+ Irish and my fee is that I keep those.
  11. I've had a few A Class arrive this week including A51 which has already lost a windscreen wiper. XXXXX small parts!
  12. A return to my Collection today. Added to Flickr is 397 at Mallow on the 6.15pm Cork - Rosslare Harbour, 20 June 1953 In the pipeline I am processing another 100 plus negatives, mainly Cavan & Leitrim and West Clare but there are some 'standard' gauge views including this one of A6 approaching Avoca ca 1960. My Flickr total views are approaching 46 million, if I got 1p a shot that would be £460,000 - I could have probably just about commissioned an 00 scale C Class for that. Unfortunately I rather think that if viewers had to pay 1p , total income would probably have been £460.
  13. A couple more from the late JW Armstrong late 1940's early 1950's: 192 at Valentia Harbour. NCC no 16 at Belfast Docks, looked ancient but was built 1915 to an old design.
  14. A couple today taken by the late JW Armstrong probably late 1940's. Civil Engineers Inspection saloon No 5 and crew/passenger. The Tralee terminus of the T&D railway slumbering between monthly cattle specials.
  15. A few memories of the not so distant past 1999 by photographer Graham Roose. Cloughjordan 155 11 April 1999 Limerick Junction 173 on ballast, 28 August 1999 Limerick Junction 134 + 128 , 28 August 1999
  16. A couple of JG Dewing views added to Flickr today. 16 May 1948 Balbriggan Oil fired conversion T2 No 2 Aghadavoyle , S 172 15 May 1948
  17. A couple of Killybegs, County Donegal views today on flickr. Both 21 April 1953. Railcar 12 on 3.50pm to Donegal Town Also at Killybegs Great Northern Railway Bus no 206. I wonder if this was a scheduled service or was the bus on hire to the CDRJC? I am sorting out a large collection of UK & Irish medium format negs from the late 1950's early 60's which includes a fair number of Cavan & Leitrim & West Clare images but sadly only a couple CDRJC at Donegal Town. Some nice CIE & ex GNRI views as well.
  18. A couple of NCC views today by HC Casserley Waterside, Derry station W , 95 on 11.10am to Belfast 9 April 1948. This neg has developing faults at the top. Waterside, Londonderry. 60 on 4pm to Belfast & Larne 24 June 1937
  19. I believe it was a cancelled order for a standard gauge bridge so offered to the Donegal railway cheap. Might have some good news for you shortly Jim
  20. These are from the ARPT taken by the late J W Armstrong late 1940's early 1950's B&CDR 198 Double Horse Box. built by the railway 1890 wdn August 1954 (Info Desmond Coakham) CDRJC Glenties branch Finn Railway bridge at Stranorlar. View from a 600 series GNRI AEC Railcar.
  21. Some NCC views by HC Casserley at York Road on 22 June 1937 2-4-0 57 56 in the works 69 'Slieve Bane'
  22. I have put some of the links in Ernies Railway Archive thread in error but here is another one , a good clear view of Limerick. http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000733603/HierarchyTree
  23. Yes I would agree, appears to be loaded onto a bogie well wagon.
  24. Another (this is a bit addictive) but this is a great view of Campile station on the South Wexford line, the entire station is shown and there is even a wagon in the Shelburne Co-op siding. http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000733958/HierarchyTree
  25. This is an excellent overall view of most of Inchicore in 1955 showing the coal tower, shed and works. http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000733435/HierarchyTree
