I was very sad to wake up on Saturday to the news of Paddy's passing. I had only spoken with him once at the show in Clontarf in 2024. He was a true gentleman and he told me all about the 121 class as I was picking one up from a stall. As others have said, his contribution to our hobby cannot be understated. I only got into model railways around four years ago, and thanks to his work (and the work of IRM following his lead), I have been able to build a nice collection of Irish rolling stock out of the gate. RIP Paddy. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

I'm so sorry to hear this Noel. Such a horrible thing to go through. Glad to hear all are safe. Thinking of you and your family. Edward.

Thanks for all the help folks. Some great resources. I shared the link with my friend and he was very greatful. Cheers, Edward.

I'll let him know. I might join myself also. Though it wouldn't be much good for my own productivity. I'd lose hours looking through it. A couple of nice ones here. Thanks.

Hi all, A friend of mine is working on a project for college and he is looking for photos of the Kilkenny-Maryborough (Portlaoise) line as it was being shutdown. The only photos I am aware of are of the final train from Abbeyleix, and a few of it before and after its shutdown. If anyone could point me in the right direction to where he might some, or even add them to this thread, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
