  1. 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
  2. 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!)
  3. This would have been a place and white photo taken from atop one of the factories looking down towards Albert quay
  4. 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.
  5. looking at some of my photos tonight E417 is another one for your list
  6. E414 was one anyway. I can’t remember the photos I have of others
  7. From memory it was E404 that failed at crossbarry and E411 that actually got to courtmacsherry but seemed to be not practical
  8. It’s a shunter id love to have despite the inherent ugliness 2 E class were tried on the west cork. One of them failed before it even got to courtmacsherry and the other deemed a failure
  9. Didn’t realise Trump became mayor of cork…..
  10. Christ I didn’t realise you could get Irish models for free….must be looking in the wrong places!!!
  11. I’ve purchased a set before and tbh they are more hastle than they are worth. Mine came broken and took hours of fixing, a lot of it due to the entire thing being glued together. All that for something that is not really that accurate and quite expensive once you include the Brexitstan tax
  12. More like 3000 photos! Some of my own highlights include https://flic.kr/p/2qE2fYz https://flic.kr/p/2qEfJSP https://flic.kr/p/2qEmuzp https://flic.kr/p/2qEaBXi https://flic.kr/p/2qE9DCS
  13. You’d likely have a siding for the council and there tar (as it would never have gone over to north esk im that scenario) and of course you would have had mixed trains like the youghal goods coming from Bantry or maybe even a dedicated oil train from Bantry (Whiddy Island)
  14. I like the idea of a Rationalised Albert Quay in the 70s with passenger traffic. Because the 1950s Albert quay cramped, yet complex
  15. In my mind, you might have had a GSR competing with a GNR combined with the DSER. Eventually theyd still end up combining into a CIE of sorts. Though the railway map would be impossible to predict, considering the economic position, structure, policy ect. of such a country would be much different. One thing is for sure, I’d imagine there would be a railway line running up the North West Imagine gsr grey donegal tanks….GNR 461 ect.
  16. Fantastic collection that. Always something I delve into the odd time and find something new every time
  17. Stationmasters house started (based on that of Waterfall Co.Cork) but is not finished. I also put in a few small bits like the sign ect.
  18. The first train to Ballymartle today. C212 with a Per Way train.
  19. Have I ruined it???? a repaint without disassembling it for fear it would snap. But I wanted it in cork colours
  20. I translate the cork bandon livery as whatever green I want it to be
  21. There is a good quality scan of this poster on the internet. Buyers beware!
  22. Heard the same, very kind man RIP
  23. The DD’s will be held together by bale twine, the 29s will be fine, except for the fact there won’t be any floor left
  24. Here it is, a blank canvas!
  25. Some buildings recently purchased
