Westcorkrailway replied to Mol_PMB's topic in General Chat
I think that’s a windscreen wiper? -
Bulleid Wedgehead Railcars ( AEC / Inchicore )
Westcorkrailway replied to Mol_PMB's topic in General Chat
The last train on the harcourt street line was also a wedgehead I think. So those dates might be handy One is in this footage here https://youtu.be/JKLtyavDH98?si=mWEk92YeYLynAG7e -
Bulleid Wedgehead Railcars ( AEC / Inchicore )
Westcorkrailway replied to Mol_PMB's topic in General Chat
Some photos from the 31st of march 1961. 2660 worked the West Cork Mainline in the final day so some good photos exist at Clonakilty junction heading to Cork just East of Bandon Station Crossing innishannon viaduct At Albert Quay final train to Bantry (Note GSWR 90 in the left foreground whistling the final train goodbye!) -

We will never have it as good as these wagons. An extremely beyond generous move

Ah those ones….they may have been tried on the West Cork line to be fair. Though I certainly don’t remember that being recorded by anyone

Chris Larkin Collection photo of Rocksavage works which more or less exclusively dealt in painting and light repairs post 1925. Interestingly as that Colm creedon points out in his book. The workshop was used post West Cork Closure for a while painting secondary stock into the new Black and Tan. And yes, it would have been more then just west cork stock using the paint shops though I imagine it was stuff that didn’t get much an excuse to go to Dublin! by driving trailers which do you mean? The bullied wedgehead ones?

So a few photos of unlined CIE green used on what I would describe as “surplus” stock in the cork area used for courtmacsherry excursions primarily 3rd coach back has no lining (what a beautiful train this was by the way) All 3 coaches here seem to have gotten the “quick” green paintjob first C class to Courtmacshwrry hauler some of these coaches an unusual coach in the formation (at least one or two like this) had numbers and snails but no lining! The following are screenshots from a video I have of a courtmacsherry steam special double header showing these unpainted and weathered coaches finally - a photo from the back of a recent IRRS journal. And while I know it’s a bit shameless to show photos from the journal here - it is the back cover so it’s not twinned with any reading material if I was to guess. These coaches probobly got painted in rocksavage paint shops in what would have been a “quick fix” that was never rectified for the sake of time and cost. These coaches were quite well clapped out!

Truly anything could manage to be in a West Cork service if it was useful enough

A Gem of a Discovery at Kells, Co. Kerry
Westcorkrailway replied to Patrick Davey's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
I wish some of the other existent timber/iron buildings out our direction had an excuse to get restored to a level to match kells! -
my 3 hand lamps. I find the modern version fascinating, a completely arbitrary battery and an expectation date! Where as the old bardic (with modifications) works perfect 40 odd years later. I have no idea how to make a burner work on the CIE hand lamps so I just threw a candle in there to show the principe

Yes it is EXTREMLY weird. Especially around the Dublin area, and the fact they needed an entirely different one for Sunday Differently not my own unfortunately. Infact if anything I’m looking to expand same as yourself! (CBSCR and GSR particularly) If you’re willing to pay steep eBay prices. You can get public ones for slightly cheaper via abe books usually

You’d be suprised how much consider this there favourite loco….im tempted….

A 3d printed 800 class for 00 (and a WLWR goods loco)
Westcorkrailway replied to Killian Keane's topic in Irish Models
Infairness. Modern stations and stock don’t allow much for variety. For instance how many places had large and interesting layouts for them not to even have a loop in 2025. Equally how many of those places are exclusively served by an ICR and not much else. Even now, the days of 2 car railcar formations is coming to and end in the short/medium term the late 50s-early 60s is the best era. Change my mind -
“The Irish Corridor” an Irish Train game
Westcorkrailway replied to Westcorkrailway's topic in General Chat
Roblox has a set distance at which you can make in terms of memory (considering that you don’t download the game, you load it up every time you play!) so afaik it’s Dublin-Kildare and that’s really it! Although it’s theoretical to go to portarlington or further. The current preferred option would be doing all the way to GCD in the opposite direction Also, quite a large update is happening on the previous NIR game, which may not be of great quality but does have a small loyal fan base -
Ok Here is my collection of timetables and a bit of marketing material thrown in for good measure. I do have a good bit more then this…..i just can’t find it. But this is 99 percent of the timetables I’ve only got 2 GSR timetables as things stand Only 2 WTTs from that time too Annual reports of years and the IRRS all Ireland tour passenger timetables gotten from shows and members of this forum ( @leslie10646 and @DERAILED come to mind!)

Irish Railway News ‘Enterprise Watch’
Westcorkrailway replied to IrishTrainScenes's topic in General Chat
To those who care about this sort of thing. My enterprise is currently on drogheada (we should have left Dundalk by now) due to a wiper blade coming off Edit: We left at about 5 past 12. -

I have one of these from way back when. I might post what I have later on

Anything CIE/GSR ?

@leslie10646 sold one of these to me for a much cheaper price at the Dublin Model show….perhaps flock to Bangor if you want one people! (And pick up a wagon as well)
