  1. Can you remember which volume? Local gossip in Wexford was so much drink had been consumed on the way down many never made it to the opera
  2. I think it was one of the times they ran an opera special for the Wexford Opera Festival for corporate ticket holders. https://www.facebook.com/groups/573173142789869/permalink/780378232069358/
  3. Will Paddy be doing any of the executive coaches I wonder?
  4. Nice MK3 CIE exec coaches
  5. William Robinson and the track circuit. Version 1.0. 2022-08-20.pages I think they used a low voltage (9-12v) where the connection was made by the wheels of the train. The indicators would be moved by the voltage to indicate a train within the section of track.
  6. The crane from the Leeds manufacturer dating from circa the 1860s when Ferns Station was opened in Co Wexford, has now been fully restored and placed on the platform in Kilmeaden. Sponsored by the Heritage Council, the work was undertaken by Rock Forking in Co Cavan. www.rockforgingironcrafts.com

  7. Quite possibly, unsure if it is railway related but was in a collection of mixed items including railway pieces.
  8. Again, any idea what this slightly unusual key was used for? No markings this time. Might not even be railway.
  9. What would the side bar be used for? Other carriage keys I have seen only had the end rectangular peg.
  10. Hi all, Can I ask your assistance to identify this type.of.key? It is stamped GSWR. Is for a point lever lock or a level crossing gate perhaps?
  11. How long did they remain in service?
  12. Hi folks, Is the first carriage after the loco on this Waterford to Dublin train in 1981 a TPO? Photo by Frank Geraghty on Flickr
  13. Sorry to hear of his passing. Enjoyed his company and stories. Bought many a book from him over the last while. He had a real passion for railways. Am sorry I cannot make the funeral today. May he rest in peace.
  14. Hi folks, Has anyone seen any plans of the proposed route of Waterford Wexford Railway Co to Ballyhack? I know only the Wexford to Rosslare section was built but would have been able to find any further details of the proposed route of the main section. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/Vict/27-28/216/pdfs/ukla_18640216_en.pdf

  15. Amazon.ie don't have it in stock.
  16. Would welcome a copy as well.
  17. Some browsers in privacy mode won't accept CAPTHCA. He should try another browser and see if it makes a difference.
  18. Nice Park Royal in what looks like dark green, Dun Laoghaire 1959 from Facebook
  19. Thanks for this level of detail. Do any of these survive?
  20. This is a photo for sale on eBay which states it is at Waterford. What type of carriage would this 2nd class have been? It is very elegant.
  21. That was fast! Thanks Mol_PMB
  22. Does anyone have any reference list for Bord na Mona engines? There is a Deutz engine by the the road side in Kilmeaden at the Waterford Suir Valley Railway. The trophy hunters have stripped the plates from it but I believe it is Deutz locomotive, LM259 [Deutz 57840] as seen in the photo on Flickr. Would anyone know what year it was built?
  23. Thanks for the info, the photo is tagged Dungarvan train. Great variety of carriages, much less interesting these days.
  24. Could anyone identify the coaches with this park royal on a train to Dungarvan? Jimmy Navin, The Signal – man and the railway | Abbeyside Heritage Archive, Dungarvan, Co.Waterford, Ireland Is the first behind the locos a TPO and the last a dining car?
  25. Have you any indication what would be considered as an acceptable offer?
