"Needless to say - the Health and Safety commissars have had their say ( how in gods name did countless generations of Borris Youth play on the viaduct for over 150 years and nobody fell off) and the new structures have provoked mixed comment to put it politely." There is an interesting clip on youtube when 'Off the Beaten Track' was filmed. No health and safety concerns then or worries about setting a bad example for the wild youth of the day lol

Walked it the other week. Very Impressive. What happened to the end towards the town, was it originally as large earth bank?
-
Is this Wellingtonbridge?

These are a few photos of the Enniscorthy crane which would have been installed by the same railway company as the one in New Ross. Interesting to see how securely the feet secure the base into what I presume is concrete. Remarkably good condition gives its age but it is secure behind electric gates and fencing.

I also need spare vacuum hoses.

Actually I have heard Wexford CoCo are planning to retain and restore as much of the existing 'furniture' including the lattice signal poles and the level crossing infrastructure.

told it was found discarded at the north end of the station in the under growth Update: it was found in the overgrowth not far from the original position, near the entrance close to the Mart entrance.

Thanks for this. Any idea who the main manufacturers were?

Hi guys, Can anyone help identifying the item in the picture. It was uncovered as part of the greenway works in Rosbercon (New Ross). In the learned opinion of the members here is it: a) a pivot for a turntable? b) a pivot for a manual loading crane c) something else?

be very careful, ring An Post customer service to check. It is a known scam: https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2020/0828/1161847-an-post-warns-of-smishing-scam/ Don't click on any of the links and certainly don't enter any debit / credit card info.

Just eager to have an early Christmas present

Lovely photo of 47' on eBay https://www.ebay.ie/itm/CIE-034-North-Wall-Dublin-1983-Eire-Rail-Photo/283501534996?hash=item4202021f14:g:dtcAAMXQfvlSoO~y

I find Kernow Models very accommodating when I have used them. Very personable service.

I know I am a bit late to this thread but just found this and it brought back memories of the last time I was there with my father. In the video you can actually see some LIMA CIE coaches. How I wanted one of them!!!!!! https://www.rte.ie/archives/2020/1120/1179432-model-railway-kits/

Could.tbey not lick up an undamaged one? Lol

Well saved! Pity we have no railway museum to donate items too.

Can't believe the asking price for a simple rail chair https://touch.adverts.ie/memorabilia/1921-railway-tie/22134780
-
Thanks for confirming this.
-
Very helpful. Thank you.
-
Would anyone have information on: 1) the development of the design of railway chairs 2) Names of suppliers of these over the decades (were most bought from the UK?) Thanks Oops sorry meant to post in general chat, can moderators please move?
-
Strange it's not in the middle picture. Some of the DSER chairs were still in situ from 1911 - 1918.
-
Would anyone know when the crossing bridge was installed and then removed from Rosbercon station (New Ross)? Any info on the turntable would also be appreciated.
-
Why were different types of coaches in the same pack? I doubt a factory error.
-
Could the CIE and IR wagons be mixed? Was there a cross over period when they might have co-existed?
