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

I made sure once I got notification to get in. It’s not often us corkonians have the luxury of a tour starting and ending in Cork. Some notable examples from memory West Cork Farewell 1961 the Midletonian 1984 Sea Breezes 1985 loco 90 trips 1990 IRRS trip to Midleton 2009 suir-lee-knot 2023 times arrow 2024 i couldn’t name all of them, was there many RPSI ones? Do expand

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

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

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.

looking at some of my photos tonight E417 is another one for your list

E414 was one anyway. I can’t remember the photos I have of others

From memory it was E404 that failed at crossbarry and E411 that actually got to courtmacsherry but seemed to be not practical

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

Didn’t realise Trump became mayor of cork…..

Christ I didn’t realise you could get Irish models for free….must be looking in the wrong places!!!
