    You could go to Midleton and walk to youghal! I’ll be aboard anyway.

    It’s a pretty good match, but it’s not perfect. It’s too dark for the lighter green and too light for the darker green. Colour was emerald green from memory

    Here was my attempt a couple of years ago. it was on some cheap LMS coach from hattons.

    Yes. These are different. And there was a 3rd one for Inchicore open day 1995. How many would buy these liveries though? I see only the one worn at mallow/fermoy being of any nostalgia for people - and that’s a very select few

    These almost deserving of there own thread Excellent stuff

    100 is not different enough I suspect to be a whole new tooling. From memory the side tanks are different. Anything else?

    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
  14. Westcorkrailway
    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
  15. Westcorkrailway
    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)

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