    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

    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

    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

    You’ve got sleeper agents in the IRRS working for you…it’s all a big conspiracy!!! ahem. Mr IRRS, photos of west cork next please
  23. Westcorkrailway
    Yes I would agree also does the person who runs the IRRS flicker a follower on here. 2 pictures have been posted in 2 days. One a green van (from the other thread) and the other an E class (from this thread!)

    This would have been a place and white photo taken from atop one of the factories looking down towards Albert quay
  25. Westcorkrailway
    I was looking for that NLI photo last night! The one other photo I can’t find but I wasn’t to check is an Ariel photo of Kennedy quay where an E class can be seen shunting in the runaround.
