    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.

    Cannot see the photo. Does the link work?

    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?

    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.
