Long gone, as it says in the heading!
-
A bit off topic but spotted this on Adverts this evening - ideal for the enthusiast wanting to start their own railway but a tad pricey. https://www.adverts.ie/other-building-materials/railway-track/28841754

I saw that Wiki stuff but what is the nameplate off?
-
In the same sale but what is it? I decided to leave well alone. No doubt copies will be appearing everywhere in the not too distant future.
-
Spotted this gem on eBay today - fresh as a newly laid egg and yours for a mere £350.

That carriage (234a) was a former WL&WR vehicle which was recovered from Tipperary station to Mallow in 1983/4 and was never worthy of restoration for anything other than a mess hut.
-
Wrong line and its a gate sign anyway not LC. Somebody, who I will not mention, had quite a stack of them back in the late '80s which he had personally removed.
-
Another WD&LR sign sold for €70 in Keighery's, Waterford, this week - I was almost tempted but without being able to physically view the sign I didn't bid. As I think I mentioned previously in this thread there were still quite a lot of WD&LR signs still in place in the 1980s so this could be the genuine item.

I started this thread about the Castlegregory Junction water tower sign on Boards.ie four years ago: https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/108624178/#Comment_108624178 The individual involved went ape shit and started posting all over the internet about me and even went as far as setting up a bogus website mirrored on my own one. Dangerous people in West Limerick.

The worst part about that BBC & PJR sign is that some fool paid €55 + commission for it.
-
I noticed this MGWR wagon plate in in the latest Great Central Railwayana Auction - the number seems very high and did the MGWR have (I) on their plates? https://auctions.gcrauctions.com/catalogue/lot/a11ef74441c61a25429f23c395a279f6/61ad83272971a65b1b45f1d4d620c5f8/general-railwayana-online-sale-of-600-lots-lot-548/

Any ID for the carriage and where did it appear out of? -
A cache of Northern station signs, wagon plates etc. went for serious money at auction today - along with Michael Collins hair (£4,400) and his walking stick £16,000. Most of the signs looked like they had been stored since being taken down in the 1960s with the highest price being paid £480 for a Strabane sign. https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/bloomfield/catalogue-id-bloomf10113

I was last in Shillelagh in the mid/late 1970s and the only thing missing was the signal cabin. The stone built goods store was in good nick and the massive timber loco shed was intact but the doors were bolted so I didn't get to see inside. A wagon loading gauge survived sticking up in the meadow that then existed in the area behind the signal cabin.

VICE REGAL COMMISSION FULL SET OF REPORTS - USED CONDITION
DERAILED replied to DERAILED's topic in For Sale or Wanted
I've still not gotten round to breaking this set and so final price reduction - €100 plus p+p or can be collected from Enniscorthy. -
I'm still amazed that they've lasted this long. Great location, no dosh and no enthusiast involvement does not bode well for the future.
-
So that would date it post 1953 - their foundation date on the website.
-
The power station is Portarlington and the photograph came with a souvenir booklet for the opening in April 1950. However, the date of the photograph and the railcar details are what puzzles me. What does REC on the railcar indicate and can anyone make out the number.
-
The date is 1950 and the weathering is just the poor photographic reproduction. It's not Ardnacrusha - what about the railcar?
-
Correct. What about the railcar?
-
Here's a later view of the Turfburner on the occasion of the IRRS Works Visit - September 1974. Pic is for sale on eBay. And here's a recent acquisition. I'd be interested in comments on this one.

The Alan Keef carriage at Dromod was specially commissioned based on drawings by Nicky Wakeford and has little in common with the Lullymore carriage save its gauge.
-
Fintown is a pretty location but far, far too remote to ever be sustainable. I also had a run on it way back shortly after it opened - in the ex.Shane's Castle tramcars if I remember correctly - but never felt the urge to return.
