Wexford70

Good afternoon, Can I ask for assistance in identifying this loco? Might it be a GSR Class D14 / GS&WR Class 60 4-4-0?

And the damp! Would.it be possible to move in once piece at this stage of their is deterioration of the frame?

Some further helpful clarification from the guys today. Our free shipping for all EU orders is now over €150. However, for small parts, accessories and also some decoders(slow sellers or for older runs), these are shipped from our warranty team in Darlington, or Dublin. This allows us to continue to offer these items, which are not suited to shipping from our main warehouse, which is a large fulfillment operation. The postage on those orders are charged based on the appropriate Royal Mail tarriff, which the system will apply at the checkout.

Are there any pictorial guides to gradient posts used on the different railways in Ireland? Have seen this offered on line.

Dear IRM can we please have .........

Can anyone help identify the carriages from the 1970s (from Facebook)

Are there any photos of the interiors?

Would anyone be able to recommend a source of diagrams for the Schull and Skibbereen Railway like the one below?

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.

Especially if Silver Fox are no longer doing these.be great to have these with tail lamps.

1) brake van 2) tin vans 3) laminates to mix with the park royals 4) railcars (including push pull version)

Lovely photo of Park Royals in Dun Laoghaire. From Facebook.

Any chance you could post a copy?

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

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.

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

Also 1950s 1951 I believe. Nice long line of boxes but a pity this copy is not sharper. The Old Drone: Norman Ashe Aerial Photographic Collection | Facebook

This is great research, really informative. Would you be able to share a diagram of the DSER version? Would this likely be an image of the DSER variety?
