Yum to all! Thanks again JB.
-
If you zoom in on the 2nd one JB the name plate says 'Sir Henry'. These are excellent shots, and poignant too - thanks!
-
Fantastic JB - taken from the signal cabin I'd guess? What a fascinating little railway this was, and the scenery must have made the journeys incredible. Thanks again for sharing these exceptional views. Don't stop now!
-
Has to be 'Irish Layout of the Decade'. Would love a video tour of this incredible creation, as well as cab rides on the trains! Has to be a candidate for a magazine article - and interview with the creator!
-
Which makes this a very rare photo of a rarely-photographed location, another great find JB!
-
My money is still on Desertmartin for this - the curve of the line under the bridge fits with the map below and the building also fits with this photo: Am also tending to agree that the other view from a roof photo of the railcar is at Draperstown so these might all be taken on the same outing?
-
The railcar photo is suggesting Desertmartin on the Draperstown line.......
-
Definitely Dungiven - at Draperstown the platform and building were on the down (left) side of the line. These are exceptional photos JB, thank you for sharing, again, am checking this thread each morning for your latest gems!
-
Victoria Road would be a great subject for a model - a city terminus with NG trains, a high level station building above the 'action', canopied island platform, riverside location.....
-
Hillsborough - fabulous! And Enniskillen too, atmospheric! Looking forward to the 1930s NG material JB!
-
Wowwwwww.......looks like Dromore GNR(I) Co. Down!
-
Amazing to think these locomotives quite possibly made it to Valencia Harbour.
-
Cracking photo! Here's the same loco in OO gauge, as produced by OO Works a few years back. (My model on Colm Flanagan's old layout).

The Deltic in Ireland - Accurascale Exclusive Announcement!
Patrick Davey replied to Warbonnet's topic in News
To keep everyone happy, you will need a 'LondonDeltic' too. -
Thanks Leslie - keep safe yourself too. Yip - Google Street view shows the old broad gauge engine shed is a survivor. Not sure how much of the NG station remains?
-
Great pics JB - wonder where the middle photo is, it suggests a station on the DC line? Also, are the platforms staggered, the barrow crossing (?) seems to suggest this. Keep these amazing views coming please!
-
Looks like it ok! Sorry folks I got a bit carried away there, am done for tonight! Hope you found something of interest. There is a lot more of interest including extensive coverage of railways around Belfast, also good coverage of Dromore, Enniskillen, Ballymena and Omagh. Night.

Another black loco in this excellent shot of Banbridge from 1923, showing the divergence of the lines to Lisburn and Scarva: https://britainfromabove.org.uk/en/image/XPW008440 And here's a remote GNR outpost, Lenaderg on the Banbridge-Scarva line: https://britainfromabove.org.uk/en/image/XPW008444

1933
-
What's your thinking on the loco JB?
-
Another gem from the 'Britain from Above' website - an excellent 1933 aerial view of Dundalk Quay Street station on the DNGR line to Greenore. Interesting to note an overbridge on the GNR side of the station beyond the level crossing, as well as a GNR loco (440 or 060?) presumably collecting coal from the quays for onward transportation. So much detail here to pore over!! https://britainfromabove.org.uk/en/image/XPW042434
