Thanks to this chaos what we do is simple for orders for my Lough Swilly book. We are based in Donegal Town so any book for Ireland except NI is posted in Donegal along with books for the EU All books orders for Britain plus NI posted in Derry. Seems to work so far!

There is an article on this theme in the latest New Itish Lines

Photos of GNR Railcar C2 after 1958 are as rare as hens teeth as the lines it was used on were all closed effectively in the 1957 Purge -

Thanks Mike for positive comments about my article on the 4-6-2Ts of the Lough Swillynin the latest Backtrack. The model.of No 12 is based on the High Legh Railway in Knutsford. The owner only passed away earlier this year and the future was still.uncertain when I visited this line in September 2021

Catching up on this with some comments. This loco is built for 7 and a quarter inch. Took over 20 years to build and the owner passed away only months after completion. The issue of colour of the Swilly engines is difficult. The notes of HS Irvine who lived in Derry in the last years have been useful. On the cover of my new Lough Swilly book I have used a colour painting with permission from Lord O'Neill showing both black and green liberties. Backtrack has just published ny article on the Swilly Pacific tanks with a stunning colour photo of Numbet 15 in the black livery from 1953!

The staff at that miniature railway told me it is too powerful to use in regular service! Has to be seen to be believed

That is the point indeed as NI under the protocol is still inside the EU. So no.additional fees should be changed sending stuff to the EU
-
Only yesterday our railway group had 2 items posted in NI to Germany and Spain returned due to.unpaid EU duties. Have took them.back to the Post Office this morning which apologised and tells us that outside Ireland people are completely ignorant of the NI Protocol. Have sent more new books out yesterday so shall see what happens!
