Picked this up yesterday at the Stillorgan gig
I had never seen one before
Rumour has it that Dart Station of this parish was seen running to the boot of his car with a very similarly shaped item
His co conspirators at the show said that they had not seen him running since the 141's came out. Nearly 10 years ago people!
There was a restaurant in Malahide called Breakers
They had a stunning GNR(I) clock with Malahide on the face
Restaurant closed and no sign of the clock
Owners name was Goggins, dont remember his first name
Dont know what heading to put these 2 jems under?

Found this over the weekend
In a 1994 copy of Railway Modeller
Apparently in the 1955 CIE Railway timetable there was an ad from Kellogs Cornflakes
It stated "Look out for the CIE New Trains Series of cut out models on packets of Kellogs Cornflakes"
Any of the crunchy members here remember such packs of Cornflakes?
Unfortunatly in the 50's we could only afford porridge
