My.photo of 56 ex works with NIR logo is dated August 28 1967

Agree David current issue of Railway Bylines has a photo feature on the Lough Swilly. In my article I only used some superb photos from the JJ Smith collection with permission of the Bluebell Museum Railway Archive. Have spent the last few days going through his CDR photos for another project.

Add 50 to your list JHB

Indeed 56 was the first Jeep to carry the NIR logo. Have photos of 56 with the new logo dated 1967.

Colour photos of the ubiquitous NCC Brown Van in Green are as rare as hens teeth. Great work Darius about a rarely modelled period on NIR that I remember so well!

The section in the Barnesmore Gap being looked at is around where the pub at Biddys is located today. Do try and track down a copy of the visitors guide to the County Donegal Railway printed 25 years ago? We hope to update this book for 2022.

Thanks book due by Friday. Costs 11£ or 13€ and can be ordered from Donegal Railway Heritage Centre. The DRHC is publishing this new 64 page book with many new B/W photos to raise funds for the preservation work we carry out such as the return of Drumboe

Any models of the UTA MPD sets?

We have 2 proposals being formalised at present. A short line beside the former station.in Donegal Town or using the tracked in the Barnesmore Gap. Early days on this at the moment.

Had an article on early NCC/UTA Railcars earlier this year in Railway Bylines. There were some photos of Railcars 6 and 7 as well.

To be accurate has had a full mechanical restoration at Whitehead and it is a moveable chassis. All engineering work carried to operational standard. More money needed for next phase which is the boiler and firebox only.

Work continuing at Donegal Town with canopy nearly complete. Goods Van's now moved into position along with frame of CDR Coach 28 with the restored body removed as another restoration due to.poor workmanship on initial.job 20 years ago now required again!

Correct David at that stage the PP Class were still seen on local trains from Omagh to Derry etc. Rare photo of a QG Class as well -
Despite being an IRRS member cannot see that photo so must check my Flickr account

Would tend to agree that looks like UTA Railcars 6 or 7. Have photos of them.in use at GVS from August 1965. With a similar colour photo of Railcar 4 from August 1965 would also suggest circa 1966? -
Will do Martin and will gladly supply copies to Dublin for RPSI fundraising as well. We expect the book from the printer next week. Will post details etc then on IRM.

Have a colour photo of NCC Railcar No 4 in the same location from August 1966 in my collection. Last time a Jeep other than No 4 visited Dublin? -
Had not noticed that now until you pointed that out David

Sorry those photos have banished from FB since the last time I looked about a year ago!
-
Cannot win them all!
-
Any CDR or LLSR in that batch of new photos?
-
These spoil trains ran from about 1975 to 1979. Used to see them on an almost daily basis in those days. Some good photos in the 35 Years of NIR book especially.
