    Don't forget the Suir Valley Railway, which, while not wealthy, is at least solvent thanks to the volunteers, a dedicated management team supporting the charity and the users of the local Greenway (who drink a LOT of coffee!!).

  10. Would it have travelled as far their ferry terminal on the North Quays in Dublin?
  11. Were the lattice ones treated the same way?
  12. Hi guys, I am looking for information as to how semaphore signal poles would originally have been painted. I believe the base and tops were usually black and the centre of the pole was white. Was this the same for all railway companies? I know the DSER used lattice structures instead of poles, would these have used the same paint scheme? In the 50s or 60s the silver paint was introduced I believe. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
