This is a good idea from me. A VS class.

I once herad a story of 30 engine to be preserved by CIE meadh was one of them. The engine were going to be part of a museum in Inchicore or Mullingar but CIE decided not to go true with the plans and all the angine except meadh were srapted.If this is true I have reason to believe that G2 class 654 clara was part of the 30 as it was withdrawn in 1965. Does anyone know anything about this?

So true They should get meadh rebuilt in Germany as they have steam engine works there.(Its where they are geting the new P2 boiler)As well as that meadh is the pefict engine to get restored. its big but is not as heavy as a 201 so it can run to westport or Galway and second It would look great for rail tours. but there is cons like that its boiler and chasis are broken and that the coal problim facing all preserved railways.

Pity that the engine Hazelewood was never preserved and that Lough Erne lasted as a working engine for the RPSI until the 70s.In my mind all 20 of the standard preserved engine should be put into working order and rotated around Cutra,Whitehead and Downpatrick like in the UK.

Here is an old picture no signal box there. Probably due to the poor quality. There seems to be a level crossing at the far left of the picture and may have been controlled by a signal box? .

I was at fry model railway a while back and remembered the MGWR stock with the A class. It looks like they are in the original MGWR livery. As for the engine it is Brian Boru from Inishlyre

Does it include the republic of Ireland or just northern Ireland?

There was a siding for the william clarke linen mill.It was a 1 and a 1/2-mile.long siding that diverged from the single platform at Upperlands station and was served daily until the closure of the derry central line with the final train running on saturdary 5th of October 1959.

I think all the K1s built by the MGWR had SECR smoke box doors as well as smaller driving wheels (5ft 6 in) as they were given by the SECR in kit form. The K1a's were modifyed by the GSR to have bigger wheels (6ft 1in) and the smokebox wheel door. Over time the modland engines were givin new doors over time.
