  1. He visited the line not long before it closed. It clearly looks a bit woebegone already. None of these have been published before.
  2. Green was used here too. Certainly, several of the canal companies used it, though they used red too. Quite possible that any given building had both at different times.
  3. Any idea when? I’d very much like to see that!
  4. You've my support on that! Extremely amateurish thing.
  5. I’ll fish them out when I’m home this evening!
  6. The picture I posted is one of several that Senior took on his one and only visit to the line in the 1940s. They were designed to run on the road too!
  7. A device that operates customer trains carrying customers, on a rail line between train stations…..!
  8. 207 "Boyne" & 10 bogies on today's 12:00, but the AEC railcars start next week. And then I woke up.................
  9. Which cab is Oliver in?
  10. The reason is that it's 4 fut 8 1/2 narra gauge, and it's 5 fut 3 at Portydown.....
  11. Yes, I've "interrailed" a good l;ot on the past - plus, when in Switzerland, where a kitkat costs the price of an average family car in southside Dublin, there's a Swiss pass you can get, only avilable to us "furriners"; my sister (and her family), as a resident of Switzerland for over 40 years, isn't eligible!
  12. I travelled in some sort of thing like that in Switzerland many years ago. Unusually for Switzerland, it was filthy inside and full of litter - you can usually eat your dinner off any surface in a Swiss train! But, naturally, it was bang on TIME!
  13. Very neat work indeed.
  14. Was thinking that. Why would anyone object to its existence? To me, while my computer literacy wouldn't even begin to go there, for someone living in a small apartment with no room even for a mini-layout, and perhaps not the budget to buy high-end models, this would seem to me to be ideal; my teen self would probably be all into it. (But that was half a century ago...............................!!)
