  1. Ur very good, appreciated, they were actually the best i could find at donegal when i went I get u with 'everywhere',but was curious more abt the steam locomotives as we had abt 98% of our steam locos from england
  2. Currently looking through, would u happen to know where to click to find these diagrams?
  3. i bought locomotives of the GNRI by nornam johnston aka: the blue bible MGWR by W E Shepherd DSER by Shepherd & Beesly The Dingle Train by Rowlands, Macgrath and Francis All with amazing drawings
  4. UPDATE ON CLONSILLA: So yesterday i went clonsilla as coolmine and castleknock have no staff at those stations and clonsilla had, i dont know the actual name of the job, lets call him the 'crossing man'. So I askedn him what @minister_of_hard_ship told me he told me the IE signs are stored in museums, i mentioned if inchicore would too? He said yes there too and they be worth thousands and held as relics in glass cases But a friend of mine said they went white with the slightest bit of sun and were all fucked into a skip due to their condition
  5. Completely reasonable i know people around my own age that ill ask and see as id love to sign up and keep this alive as a lot of clubs from IRRS to the RPSI are all older gentlemen and ofc if no one willing to step up and replace their roles, these places might sadly close for good
  6. Ill try it today thanks very much for the tip, point u made on FOI, id say they refuse as it might be older than 2008 as that is a limit they can only give for locomotive drawings yet they give out 071 drawings but unsure abt other stuff in general Also my local station coolmine doesnt really have staff around but ill try clonsilla as there is the fella who manually opens/closes the crossing Another whilst im here, there is an old white and orange stripe 'mind the gap' on one the pillars on platform 5 in connolly
  7. Its alright, but i do wonder what other benefits u do get being a member?
  8. Where would u have in mind to enqiure? and would FOIs work to get details on the old signs?
  9. Who and what department in irish rail be in charge of the old signs?
  10. Wonder if they might buy 2, one set in the points and plug and then other in IE 'commuter'
  11. Yes it looked to be 4 tracks from the OS maps i was looking at ill send the link of it below: https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=14.6&lat=51.89230&lon=-8.48058&layers=6&b=GoogleSat&o=100
  12. Honestly im not fussy at all i go for even NCC too Also how much is IRRS membership yearly
  13. Really curious as its my local line and spotted it on old OS maps
  14. 2:14:00 is dublin
  15. Its a mix between Lucan north and kingscourt line Also either youghal or maybe out west like skibb

Drumcondra has old IE logo on both sides of its footbridge Sligo station have IE logo on a concrete plant pot and have other CIE stuff like badges and even IE too Also where did the old white and orange stripe IE signs go to as id love to be able to buy/get one of my 3 local stations and maybe as well as connolly, heuston, pearse and tara street if possible Whats with the RPSI cravens in ballina?
  17. Hi all, ive been struggling to source places to find books with railway drawings/diagrams of rail stock in locomotives, coaches, railcars and wagons in standard and narrow gauge, I was recently in donegal railway museum, i bought their only 4 and fascinated and so curious to know other locations to source these books physically and digitally Any replies based on this are highly appreciated and eternally grateful
