  2. Are there any pictorial guides to gradient posts used on the different railways in Ireland? Have seen this offered on line.
  3. Dear IRM can we please have .........
  4. Can anyone help identify the carriages from the 1970s (from Facebook)
  5. Are there any photos of the interiors?
  6. Would anyone be able to recommend a source of diagrams for the Schull and Skibbereen Railway like the one below?
  7. News from Waterford is that fund raising for Kettering no 3's restoration and work on infrastructure appears to have been largely successful. Only circa 45k left to raise. The frame of the train shed extension is built, cladding going on at present. Plans for a water tower design are being considered. If the final funding gap can be closed then the loco might be in Ireland sometime next year. Hats off to the volunteers.
  8. Especially if Silver Fox are no longer doing these.be great to have these with tail lamps.
  9. 1) brake van 2) tin vans 3) laminates to mix with the park royals 4) railcars (including push pull version)
  10. Lovely photo of Park Royals in Dun Laoghaire. From Facebook.
  11. Any chance you could post a copy?
  12. Blyth,bulit by the same company restoring Kettering no 3 was delivered in 2022. Prices for raw materials and labour have significantly increased. Unlikely the same could be built for less thank £350 today. I beleive it will be steamed May 25th. https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2026/05/steam-locomotive-blyth-to-make-operational-public-debut-this-may-bank-holiday.html
  13. Am always conflicted with the thought of altering the original though the results are fantastic. I also fear I don't have the skills and would be soooo annoyed if I damaged one of these wonderful models.
  14. Great progress it seems. New shed extension underway also. https://crm.waterfordchamber.ie/news/details/waterford-suir-valley-railway-celebrates-major-progress-on-steam-locomotive-restoration
  15. Ex-works CIÉ J4 Class 0-6-0 No. 261 emerges from Phoenix Park Tunnel with four horse boxes from Amiens St, February 1954. captured by the late David Murray/IRRS Archive. #irishrailarchives #irishrailways
