Not sure that’s Strabane, but main line between Drogheda and Dublin. Strabane viaduct had different piers.

That picture is of the Mourne River bridge , the one I have is the bridge over the Foyle north of Strabane near Garvary (Google Maps). I too thought it was on the Dublin- Belfast Main Line but the slide caption says otherwise and its also in the  Colourpoint book on the GNRI page 67.

SLNCR Manorhamilton station "Lough Gill" 25 Sept 1954.

Glass Negative D7 539 at Dublin Harcourt Street probably between 1930-1935 before being reboilered.

GNRI 1960-05-20 Strabane.

Derry - Belfast diesel set xing the Foyle JGD600438. 5 Car BUT set on 4.10pm Derry to Belfast service. 2nd Coach is Buffet Car 124

A couple more JG Dewing slides.

The first is the entrance facade to Belfast GVS on 25 May 1964, the only buildings recognisable today is the block containing the "Crown Bar and Robinsons Bar with a Barber's sandwiched between them.

The next one is a thatched cottage in Newtonstewart on 3 May 1964, it may have been of railway interest as its painted blue.

Lastly a giant cast iron netty which Galteemore has kindly identified as being in Victoria Square, Belfast June 1964.

I was going for fair dodgers.

Do you mean escapees from the local Calf Sales

I've enlarged this bit of the Enniskillen Railbus 2A negative to highlight the unusual container on the platform which appears to have a barred door so you can see the contents  or possibly to convey dogs/ young animals etc.

SLNCR Enniskillen Railbus 2A 25 September 1954.

UTA Portrush station,  25August 1962.

West Clare, 5C arriving at Ennis on the afternoon goods. 8 July 1954.

Yes you are correct the Saltburn - Manchester Airport TPX service doesn't run via Darlington but goes direct from Eaglescliffe to Northallerton via the old 'Leeds Northern' Main line and then via the East Coast Main Line to York etc .

3 Cavan & Leitrim today , I particularly like JG Dewings shot of 5T at Dromod terminus on 22 May 1957 with (I think) ex T&D companions coach and bogie van plus the local passengers. The other 2 views are at Ballinamore, 3L on the Arigna train 26 August 1954 and 12L  21 May 1957 (Dewing's developing a bit suspect on this one)

The last view is at Cork J11 220 July 1955.

Fotopic went bust over 10 years ago and it took a few months just to get them to set up a temporary facility to retrieve files. I had some 15000 odd images on there which  eventually were then put onto my Flickr 'Ernie's Railway Archive' You can recognise the ex Fotopic images as they used a - instead of a space between words and the retrieved files still have the 'underscore' as I  couldn't be a*sed er didn't have the time to re-title them. They also owed me over £100 commission for photos they had sold plus the bulk of my annual subscription fee.

On the whole Flickr has been far more satisfactory. C'est la vie!

An interesting comment from Jonathan Allen on the original Aghadavoyle station Flickr post.

'Cabin closed 1965 - presumably at the same time as Goraghwood - Newry - Warrenpoint. Lever frame was on the first floor of the station building (in the bit jutting out) and later collapsed through the floor! For many years, it could be clearly seen when passing by train.'

4 JG Dewing views today; the first is ex W&T no 4 (GSR 486) built by Andrew Barclay in 1908 at Waterford Manor in April 1940, although looking in good fettle the loco was withdrawn the following year.

3 views of Aghadavoyle bank and Aghadavoyle station. The station view is 8 June 1961.

The other views are from the loco, SG3 UTA 35 on 31 May 1961 and there are some 18 slides of this trip up the bank and another trip on W Class 104 on 1 June 1961. A bit repetitive as they feature mainly the open countryside. I will add the others to flickr in due course.

I now have that original slide as well. I didn't know the loco portrait slide existed but Mr Dewing had had a go at re-composing the slide image and I have had to clear some sticky tape off it before I could scan it. This probably put publishers off using it in the past. This is the one of the train at Manorhamilton Been on this topic before.

Hope the weather's a bit better at Statfold Jim. Its  decidedly chilly up here on (nearly) on Hadrians Wall!

There were some more CDRJC views in the latest Dewing lot Jim. Here's a couple plus one  for 'Galteemore' I think he might like it.

I copped on after I posted, hence the edit.

Vaguely remember that Model Shop Belfast had deposits held, were closing their doors and going online-only, then never went online, something along those lines.

Wasn't under the Model Shop Belfast section, was posted in the wrong section but it's out there, somewhere.

I was done for a £20 Deposit, they never replied to my E Mails.

I amended the fiddle yard tracks a few weeks ago to enable me to park loaded and empty slate trains out of site and thereby not having to switch the brake vans and locos. Instead there are 2 separate trains complete with loco and brake van. This view from a drone illustrates the new arrangement.
