  1. Some more lovely photos, keep them coming. Merry Christmas. Stephen
  2. I spent my working life dealing with river and sea flooding. The sandbags may only give limited relief but it will allow time to lift vulnerable equipment out of the way of the flood water. Make sure you know what is irreplaceable and what is not. Stephen
  3. The old route is clear apart from the building in the centre of the photo. They can always be a problem. Stephen Stephen
  4. Had a wonderful day at the Warley show yesterday, purchased a much sought after copy of IRRS Journal from Leslie, viewed the new IRM products and spent a long time at Ballyconnell Road, truly a wonderful model railway. All it needs is GNR(I) railcar set to complete the scene, and maybe a CIE one as well. Stephen
  5. Try bradytommy101@gmail.com. Stephen
  6. I’ve never tried one myself but I have read elsewhere that they can drive you mad. Brilliant job. Stephen
  7. The brake gear under the Palvans was different to that on the Bulleid underframes. Stephen
  8. They look the DB’s. You lovely people. Stephen
  9. C/201 class in its many guises and liveries. Stephen
  10. Wasn’t the third class 80 set used on the reintroduced Dublin-Maynooth service? Stephen
  11. Or what about Waterford North with five routes and eight platforms. Stephen
  12. One of many excellent histories of the railways Ireland. Thoroughly recommended as a read. Stephen
  13. When she had her overhaul at Tuam, she received a new boiler courtesy of the SVR. Stephen
  14. To anyone involved in the early of getting a heritage railway off the ground, these photos evoke powerful memories. Lovely to see. Stephen
  15. A lovely video. There’s an interesting reference to the role of the Stormont government in the closure programme of the 1950’s. It wasn’t interested in anything outside of the six counties, very inward looking. I’m not sure if that view has changed in some parts of unionism. Apologies if I have strayed into a no-go area but it was part of the video. Stephen

    NEW 00 WORKS J15

    On their website is the following announcement: Breaking announcement 30 July 2023. Due to high demand we will be doing another batch of GSR/CIE Class 101 locomotives. Taking orders now. Wow. Stephen
  17. We need all modes of transport but working together than against each other. Stephen
  18. I thought for a moment that Kirley had returned to this forum. No, just someone bringing to our attention his YouTube channel. Better than nothing I suppose. Stephen
  19. That is quite some report that Ove Arup has produced, including some completely new lengths of railway. There are some interesting omissions, the obvious one being Enniskillen and it’s hinterland. Stephen
