I like the cats. Are they orientals/foreigns? Stephen

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

Limerick to Foynes railway reopening plan
StevieB replied to spudfan's topic in What's happening on the network?
The old route is clear apart from the building in the centre of the photo. They can always be a problem. Stephen Stephen -
Warley (again!) IRRS Stand is C49, with Ballyconnell Road at C50!
StevieB replied to leslie10646's topic in What's On?
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 -

I’ve never tried one myself but I have read elsewhere that they can drive you mad. Brilliant job. Stephen

To anyone involved in the early of getting a heritage railway off the ground, these photos evoke powerful memories. Lovely to see. Stephen -
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

Sold out. Stephen

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

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

If you look on the home page of their website, you’ll see they are producing three further versions, one with the Z boiler and two with the original boiler. Stephen

There is a review in the latest issue of Railway Modeller. It makes good reading. Stephen
