Articles in this on the Lough Swilly Railway plus the story of the Foyle Valley Railway Museum. Published this month by Kelsey Publishing

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.

My Lough Swilly book due out later this month has 60 photos with over 50 unpublished in a 64 page book Published by Donegal Railway Heritage Centre all profits go towards preservation especially Drumboe. Cost is 11£ or 13 Euros and once it is gone it is gone!

Well spotted Steve it is indeed the same photo of UG 47 at Adelaide

Produced by Unique Publications but has got poor feedback already in regards to quality of content in this DVD

Steam in Camera (Second Impression) 1898 to 1960 page 28 has an excellent photo from Ken Nunn of one of those Brecon and Merthyr tank locos Andy

The Brecon and Merther Railway had similar 0-6-2ST locos

Photo of MGWR Butter wagon on page 131 of your new book JHB

Like the photo on the left and photo on the right was used and badly reproduced in an old Stenlake book.

Well Done John and the lockdown led me to start writing articles and working on Disused Stations website etc. Whilst a series of chats at the Donegal Railway Heritage Centre (DRHC) and the discovery of many unpublished photos of the other railway in County Donegal has resulted in my first railway book. This will be published in early October by the DRHC. With all profits raised going towards mainly the Drumboe fund, from this book "The Lough Swilly Remembered". Details to order will soon be posted here and on the DRHC website. Special thanks to Ernie in particular.

Went to see this awesome 7 and a quarter inch live steam model last Sunday. Simply stunning!
