    The track looks the part. Stephen

    The damage must have proved terminal as the 165DS no longer exists. That’s a great shame as it was a small but impressive machine, which would have proved very useful to the likes of the D&CDR. Stephen

    And you have to pay the exorbitant postage on top! Stephen

    We have all come to expect good customer service. Now I don’t know if DC kits is a one man band but that might explain the poor customer service referred to, and we have just had the Christmas and New Year break. Stephen

    The Bug started life on the RHDR, was sold to a concern in Ireland and then, more recently, returned to the RHDR. Stephen

    I’m gradually fitting Kadees to my stock. They work so well and are the way forward as far as I’m concerned. Stephen

    I’ve had a copy for many years. It’s an absolutely lovely album stuffed full of evocative photos of all aspects of Irish railway operations. Stephen

    The railcar photo is quite a delight. The two railcars are from the 700 and 900 series but what is the intermediate coach? Stephen

    The observant may have noticed that the tracks on the former Letterkenny line already been lifted so that the replacement bus service can use the former railway bridge to gain access to County Donegal. Stephen

    Santa dropped off a copy. Thanks. Stephen

    The funding of state owned railways is entirely at the behest of the government concerned, which is why the obvious is very often the least likely cause of action. The privatisation of BR, back whenever, has gradually been undone over the years, firstly the privately owned Railtrack morphing into the publically owned Network Rail, then the public owned operator of last resort for failed franchises, leaving only the privately owned rolling stock companies.

    Love them both. Thanks. Stephen

    Just can’t get enough of this lovely layout. Stephen

    The survival of the Claremorris-Collooney line virtually intact is really quite something. There remains the possibility, albeit many years hence, of reconnecting it to the national network and providing a train service from Sligo to Limerick. Stephen

    I look forward to progress reports over the coming months and years, in particular the sight of prototypical length trains running. Stephen

    Sorry, but what are you moaning about? You would have bought fourteen coaches but you’ve bought nine instead. Sell any surplus on eBay or on this website. Stephen

    It’ll be no good investing in a new passenger without tackling the ongoing flooding problem, says one who spent his working life trying to put right the folly of man of building in floodplains. Stephen

    My flabber has been well and truly ghasted. Stephen

    I particularly like the two views of Greystones station. I’ve a soft spot for the place. Thanks. Stephen

    071’s seem to be getting good prices at present on eBay. Stephen

    Wonderful bit of news. Stephen

    Sad sight. Stephen

    Makes for interesting reading, but fails to mention two points: 1) Existing container traffic between Waterford and Ballina, and 2) Developing rail freight from Rosslare, currently only roll/off. I also thought the two parts of Ireland were looking to consider the rail in the whole country rather than separately. Stephen

    Best wishes for a speedy recovery. This getting old isn’t for wimps. Stephen
