    Another example of an Irish Council.getting involved with Heritage Railway projects and doing more damage than good! Derry City Council and the Foyle Valley Railway. Disputes led to the Council closing both Museum and Heritage Railway down on a temporary basis in July 2000. Railway has and will never reopen but Museum due to reopen next month apparently. But that has been promised before umpteen times and did not happen.

    Considering Drumboe lay abandoned at Strabane for nearly 30 years the loco is in sounder condition that you could have hoped for considering everything!

    Good question Drumboe getting a new cab, bunker and side tanks etc. Severe corrosion due to almost 60 years outside in the rain in the North West. However things such as the frames etc are original and in better condition than expected.

    Most of the inebriated could also come from Belfast and Carrick as well Did see a few times when thanks to the efforts of such characters to enjoy fresh air that windows would be removed from the 70 class by all means possible to celebrate their return home from a loyalist parade instantly after boarding train home These pagan festivals appeared to be sponsored by vast amounts of tinned beer in particular and strong language along with feral behaviour in the summer months!

    Yes Colin Drumboe the Real Thing version is coming on well and as you are well aware so are the Bill's! All help welcomed to bring Drumboe back this summer to the Donegal Railway Heritage Centre..

    Large building at front has vanished The Olderfleet is now in the low building to the right in your old photo.
  19. airfixfan
    Down there today that old building has gone. The Olderfleet is still there with some horrible stone cladding. Tried to add a photo but failed!
