    I'd say an 00 gauge one would be worthwhile, David. As you know, the GSR and later CIE often loaned carriages of this type to the SLNCR for excursions. Flying snails were indeed seen in Enniskillen!

    For sale - this entire lot €5 plus postage

    The typical and numerous MGWR 6-wheeler; an essential component for any pre-1964 layout. Kit, anyone? And a GSWR six wheeled passenger brake. Also essential. This is the DCDR's No. 69 in original condition.

    This'll do ye. I'm on me tea break now, ok?

    From the catacombs, again!

    DSER caution tickets are now exceptionally rare. This one €5 plus postage. I have about half a dozen of these GSWR wagon labels - also extremely rare nowadays. Each €5 or €15 for the lot. The following stuff €5 plus post for each "job lot" in each picture. Some of these are very rare too. Both the following two are together

    During the 2WW, or "Emergency", despite the south being neutral, certain precautions had to be taken, usually in partnership with neighbouring UK for the mutual benefit of both. Part of this was the blackout and removal of all station names, to assist in confusion of possible foreign spies wandering about Irish soil. From the jhb171 catacombs.

    Ping me accordingly; just cover post cost. For the general interest of anyone interested!

    Staff circular, from the Catacombs..

    There's a lot to be said for that, junctionmad...

    Regarding such things making a profit.... On the contrary, unfortunately.... having supervised the finances of the RPSI bar and catering operations for some 15 years (and DCDR's lately) had the societ(ies)to pay wages out of the profits, little would be left. Given my own experience in this area, I look at the "Enterprise" and Galway line catering in particular - such as they are - and I doubt if they would do much more than cover costs. Tis the world we live in.

    Only the one ever built anywhere. It was an experimental demo vehicle.

    I suppose some might say of trains (and airlines) that feeding people is not their business; any more than getting people from A to B is a restaurants business! This is unarguable, but a pity nonetheless.
  17. jhb171achill
    Postage cost only

    In silver, yes; red and cream would be awful!

    My best memories..... the 17:30 Cork - Kingsbridge with a DCDR-style dining car, a tray with dribbly teapot and a well done stem, potatoes and peas......

    With painted sides, that thing must have looked like a portable corrugated iron shed!
  22. jhb171achill
    From the archives...

    From the catacombs..... at random!
  24. jhb171achill
    That brake is a beauty. I always hoped an old full brake could run on the DCDR....

    A pad of headed memo paper... €10 plus post.
