Did you hold your breath under there

I wouldn’t mind if it was rebuilt as a carriage but could you imagine a 1980s push pull set, but in green rather than orange

Some of the highlights I found last night.

Are these drawings for the one and only “Pat” https://www.museum.ie/collections/collection/object-166275/

I always thought that if the transport meuseum in Dublin were the move and they gained a handful or surplus railway stuff (say, 5T, sleive callan, the RPSI spare 141s ect. ) it would be fine. getting to Sligo isint an easy trek either. You’d get to Belfast from Dublin faster!

Send it to Moyasta, I hear they’ve a few more spots opened

Funny as it’s listed as 234A. A coach that survives in preservation.

Ive heard conflicting reports from RPSI volunteers. But from what I’ve heard it seems to be cancelled

I volunteer my layout as tribute anyway, here is a screen recording of that Facebook clip ScreenRecording_07-14-2026 15-52-45_1.mov

I think in a few places in the country, your right to be “annoyed” at a lack of a nearby volunteer base. in Cork the nearest is either Listowel, Carrick on suir or the WSVR. All of which are quite a 3-4 hour round trip! There is probably a few other blind spots. As well. but at the end of the Day. Most willing to volounteer don’t just give up. One man I know does 12 hours a week on public transport to volunteer with the RPSI. Quite a number did a 9 hour round trip to go to maam cross. myself and a few others stay a night in the north every so often to volunteer at Downpatrick ect. overall there is very few down here who don’t have there thumb in a pie somehere hours and hours up the road. I was in West Clare myself 2 weeks ago. Moyasta has been badly damaged by vandals since the he last visit I made. But there has also been quite a lot of work done to make the area safe. Such as removing all broken glass (see above) which could have caused some injuries

Was there a month given? Or just vaugly Q3 2026

GNR/CIE Mak would be nice. I wonder had anyone tried doing it

This was 1930s trade war Ireland. No money and lots of cattle!

My 3 cap Badges. Really only short a points logo one. One of my favourite things to pick up. There is something nice about them although, looking below, there is quite an amount of them to collect if you wanted to be definitive about it…
