As it turns out upon thinking. 90 wouldn’t at all be the worst pick. with 1, maybe 2 GSWR liveries, GSR livery, gsr without plate and CIE black (probobly preparing for a fight with that one!) The loco would make for a suitible shunter on grey and green layouts and even a primary loco on small layout working freight and passenger traffic on a light railway of sorts we can’t forget of course. 90 ran on the mainline in the 1990s which allows a “Westrail” livery to be quite attractive to those modeling the 1990s IE layouts

Thank you meathdane. I had been trying for many months to get somone to buy it. And many times I thought I had a buyer only for that not to happen. Nothing makes me happier, my favourite layout ever produced on this website lives on!

This Cathal Deasy chap. If I were to guess he would like a certain 4-6-0t. Unlikely as it is. Anything that ran south of the river lee will do! @jhb171achill if you don’t spill the beans I will paint my CIE green hattons coaches so that the Eau De Nil is now yellow (not even straw coloured) and paint the roof of my coaches light grey and if that Dosent work, all my locos are going to be in Donegal red with black domes consider yourself warned

Turlogh cott folder on IRRS Flickr has good ones too Camo with High vis is that right?

fascinating collection. Keep posting Was gunning for a Kent sign. They aged well for some reason

Flying snail and points were much better imo!

This bag which I got recently, maybe from the 1990s (?) still has the broken wheel as your say

There quite a nice railway memorabilia as they were a part of the station and the train! Always on the lookout for a ballinhassig-Crossbarry one myself. They seem oddly numerous

Thr signal poles you found are “railway staffs” what a treasure trove you did indeed find. Hopefully preserved thanks to you and your buddy but your right. An awful lot of stuff gets thrown out

Roundell was in use for longer. 24 years very 16-20 years (depending on if you count DUTC)

Electrical box

Must be worth a thousand them 00W locos

Hello all I'm just researching the various uniforms and such that various companies would have worn (not that there was much variation between most of them) But do think it’s deserving of a thread below are a pretty definitive look at Railway Cap Badges throughout the years which as you can see have actually changed throughout the years

It also had a map showing the Burma siding still open amongst other long disused sidings

No.

Stop with the dad jokes and go outside. It’s a beautiful day.

CAFtle trucks I’ve never heard that but that’s what I will be calling them from now on

What springs to mind in cork is fota and mallow still have one of the pre blue signs each A few stations from glounthaune to cobh have IE, IR and even CIE signs of trespass, footbridge and parking related nature. Cork car park has a CIE sign (and a GSWR Timber sign!) As of right now. I believe there are two stations with complete all old signage. Cahir and one of the stations on the DSE

Before the light grey. CIE wagons were painted in a dark grey with green snail

29s fit in cork shed…..they don’t fit in limerick. If this is going where I think it’s going I’ll be quite sad as a 2600 fan

I can’t remember what I used for this. But shows something good is out there

I know quite litterally nothing Is changing. But goodbye IRM website

Hopefully I can manage to get a pair

It’s not even subtle anymore. We have a supporter in the archives
