An idea quickly dropped.

There was a photo that I saw on the old Photopic site showing the underframes and bogies hanging around the back of Inchicore in about 1975, but they may not have survived for much longer after that.

Plan? What plan? I thought the usual procedure was to get drunk, grease some palms, and then trust to luck!

That's because Flickr insists on cramming in as many photos per "page" as possible. Sometimes as many as 500 at a time. Not fun to wait for if they're all mega-high resolution....

I think there's only one BEMO HOm engine that sells for under £200. Everything else they make is some way over the £200 mark. Even the very few RhB steam outline models they occasionally make retail for £300+ .....I should know; I made the mistake of shelling out for one. I was living on baked beans for months afterwards.

As a child of the early 70s, I am already going downhill.

Three hours fascinated viewing later.....

I hope that's not blue asbestos

Thing is, these scenes are all within living memory....especially the 1970s ones. If you're doing period modelling, photos like these are priceless.

That really is quite something.

The ones I looked at appeared to be very black. As black as a priest's socks (which should be really black, and not actually just a very very very very very very very very very very dark blue).

Apparently Leslie's other hat is Provincial Wagons. I didn't know this!

Stumbled across a huuuuuuge collection of colour photos on Flickr, posted by the intriguingly-named "MajorCalloway". Amongst them are a small, but significant number of railway photos, including a gloomy platform shot inside Kingsbridge Station, circa 1961. Also this one at Dun Laoghaire. They are mostly from the 1960s and 1970s, but there are some late '50s pics in there as well. Click here to view the album Kindly note that I accept no responsibility for wallowing in nostalgia
