    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
  4. Westcorkrailway
    I can’t remember what I used for this. But shows something good is out there
  5. Westcorkrailway
    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
  10. 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
  12. 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.
  13. Westcorkrailway
    looking at some of my photos tonight E417 is another one for your list
  14. Westcorkrailway
    E414 was one anyway. I can’t remember the photos I have of others
  15. Westcorkrailway
    From memory it was E404 that failed at crossbarry and E411 that actually got to courtmacsherry but seemed to be not practical
  16. Westcorkrailway
    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…..
  18. Westcorkrailway
    Christ I didn’t realise you could get Irish models for free….must be looking in the wrong places!!!

    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
  20. Westcorkrailway
    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

    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)
  22. Westcorkrailway
    I like the idea of a Rationalised Albert Quay in the 70s with passenger traffic. Because the 1950s Albert quay cramped, yet complex
  23. Westcorkrailway
    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.
  24. Westcorkrailway
    Fantastic collection that. Always something I delve into the odd time and find something new every time
  25. Westcorkrailway
    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.
