    I’ve been in those archives several times. Amazing stuff in there.
  2. jhb171achill
    Excellent job! It’ll look well either way it appeared.

    I think a British M7 0.4.4T chassis might well be a good fit.
  4. jhb171achill
    Wow! Superb project. What chassis will you use? The unlined CBSCR livery was also the same olive green, I believe. Interesting to see that in one of the photos you show there, the engine has a CBSCR crest on the side; but not in the other.

    Thank you very much, folks, much appreciated. It was good to see you all. The number of local people still very much interested in the line was very impressive.

    Absolutely TOP class!

    Same loco spotted shunting at Dugort Harbour in summer 1968 and autumn 1970….

    Tonight (Friday 7th November) in connection with the above event, I’ll be doing an illustrated talk on the North Wexford line in the Rua Glen Hotel & Country Club just outside Waterford city (South Kilkenny). All welcome!

    There are not two single components in this yoke that are in proportion to each other!

    SECOND to the above abomination, here is the 2nd ugliest thing ever on rails. Highly reliable and long-lived though, some were working well into the 1980s hauling heavy coal trains on the West Sumatra system of the PJKA (Indonesian Railways)......

    I had seen and read those articles, yet never realised who wrote them! I've copies of them here..........................

    Awful negative, though - so blurred that even a new print wouldn't be any better - but of massive historical interest! Looks like the main line, of course, any idea where? And, I wonder, do we know who took it? Sounds like the type of thing that someone like Joe St Leger would suss out.... Up da rebels!!!!
  15. jhb171achill
    This just HAS to be the single most pig-ugly thing ever to run on rails in the world (joint worst with Sumatra's C33 class (steam)!).... was it designed by the company sports and social committee on a Friday afternoon, or a disgruntled employee on a wet February Tuesday morning? HIDEOUS!
