    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

    RDS Sidings 1952 Facebook When did the use of Pot Lamps end? I heard one of their last uses was in the horseboxes.

    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?

    Few from Ferns today. Thank you to the Council lads who were very accommodating.

    Actually in Sainleonards a mile or so from Ballycullane. Also time has not been kind to it. No longer in use but still in situ.

    Great collection.

    Stupid me! Need stronger coffee.

    Where is the talk happening?

    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

    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/

    Will Paddy be doing any of the executive coaches I wonder?

    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.

    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

    Quite possibly, unsure if it is railway related but was in a collection of mixed items including railway pieces.

    Again, any idea what this slightly unusual key was used for? No markings this time. Might not even be railway.
  23. Wexford70
    What would the side bar be used for? Other carriage keys I have seen only had the end rectangular peg.
  24. Wexford70
    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?

    How long did they remain in service?
