I spent the day at a family gathering chez Daughter-the-Elder & her expert Christmas-dinner-making partner; within those premises dwell SIX cats.......

Even while still working on the railways, many of the longer-lived locos contained almost nothing from when first built - even new frames, wheels and boilers and cabs - the latter two often of completely different design. Different wheel arrangements even; and a tender loco could become a tank or vice versa. Long before CIE withdrew them, no J15 was at all like its original self, and look at No. 90!

Harcourt St?

Fantastic pics!

Since the MGWR was adjacent to the canal, what about something like "Royal Canal Junction"? (You could even make up a logo for it in the shape of an oul triangle...!)

Whitworth Road / Sherriff St / Ballybough / Clonliffe / Cabra

Likewise; mostly poor.

Yes, more or less. Maybe Cabra (Midland)?

Wow - outstanding stuff! You were thinking of a suitable name - might I suggest that it's obviously somewhere in the Dublin area northside... maybe pick the name of a district adjacent to the Broadstone to Liffey Junction line, or make it some sort of MGWR shed near their lines down to the docks....?

Me too. I want 145 and 150.

I'd guess that didn't actually happen. I've never heard of a DD set south or west of Dublin.....

That’s not allowed to be posted here. i know stuff….Shtuff. Yer man who knows Thomas. Say nathin, ok?

Those look REALLY good!

Brilliant as always - I like that use of an old six-wheel passenger brake.

Now THATS a rare one! I had no idea they’d ever been north of Drogheda!
