UAV flying can be dificult. that day after i filmed those drone shots i was told off for flyaing as aparently it is a no fly zone however i had looked it up and turns out it is not regestered. one of the 2 newer locos may be going to manchester as a lad ted wants to buy it. unfortunatly BNM does not want any history of peat extraction remembered. they have recently removed there history section from there website. BNM are only selling locos for 3000 + at the moment even though for many of the older ones it is way too much. some come up at auction cheeper. as for a railway being preserved in the bog it has been sugested many times however BMN want to simpaly turn the lines into greenways. there is talk of the stone for the greenways being transported by rail. there are also drains evry few days out of edenderry for ash. there are 2 carrages at the now defunct tralee and blenervile railway that could be used on a bog railway though they do need some work done to them. i think there are a few at lullymore as well. cavan and letrim also have a railcar thing for 3 foot as well that does not seem to be in use. wagons are most certainly going to the cutters coarch. hundreds have been scraped in Croghan alone in the last few months

I was there the day before. the train derailed just outside the works so it did not get in until the following morning.

I know that a lot are doubtful that mass scale progress will happen on our railways as has been the case for many the years but with all this climate change stuff i would not be surprised if things such as double tracking sections to Tullamore are on the horizon. one thing that definitely is in the horizon though is someone saying that this wont happen for 100 years

edenderry is now run on biomass but that biomass has to come from the other side of the world so its not so environmentally friendly as board na mona say it is.
