    Yes but the window stickers for Didcot and Oxford at Connolly did confuse a few normals!

    Article is in March 1992 issue with great colour photos and a picture of CC1 beside 800 at Inchicore.

    Remember travelling on that train the ex BR WR coach even had its window destination stickers still!

    You should try and track down that book on the CBST. Published in 2009 by South Dublin Libraries by Aidan Cruise with many rare photos in its 96 pages.

    The current issue of Railway Bylines had a photo feature on Limerick Junction in the 1950s. There is a picture of 432 on the scrap line there in 1957.

    WT Jeep Build

    airfixfan replied to KMCE's topic in Irish Models

    Diagrams of the Jeep are in Scott's book and there was an article on their design in an issue of Five Foot Three.

    Remember the steam engines at Courtalds shunting near Mount.

    Yes indeed but was lifted by about 1947.

    Thanks LM thought I had sent you a PM. Have that Backtrack article.
  11. airfixfan
    Thanks but it is that article that I am still looking for hopefully?
  12. airfixfan
    You cannot get that channel in NI.
  13. airfixfan
    Thanks this was in a magazine with excellent colour photos of CC1 on trial which has got lost in the mists of time.
  14. airfixfan
    Great photo. Pity one of these Crewe built locos was not preserved.
  15. airfixfan
    Thanks have that but remember this article but no longer have the article due to house moves etc.

    Difficult to leave the Island at present. Looking for that article so I can buy a copy.
  17. airfixfan
    Is 6 the one that is missing in that photo. They were able to save a DNGR coach and there is a story that loco 1 the only one to go North was scrapped in error

    There was an article on the trials etc of this loco with good colour photos by John Click in Steam World in the 1990s. Trying to track this article down and can anyone help with relevant details? Thanks

    Both ex GNR locos were T2 tank engined

    IRRS Journal 11 records that 2,3,4 and 6 were hauled dead from Dundalk to Sutton on April 15th 1952. So why only 3 locos in that photo? Same issue notes that number 1 moved from Newry to Adelaide light engine. This backs up the story that attempts were made to preserve this DNGR locomotive.

    Drumm railcars C and D were converted in 1953 to run as trailers with the new AEC CIE railcars sets. There is a reference to this in IRRS Journal 12.
  22. airfixfan
    That photo is in the book Lost Railways of Co Derry. The photo in the book is undated but does look like the 1930s.
  23. airfixfan
    Definitely Ballyclare with that distinctive building on the Main Street in the background. Would be the same train as the goods left for Ballyclare in the morning and returned in the afternoon.
  24. airfixfan
    Well worth buying at that price!

    Author is JIC Boyd published by Oakwood Press. There is a lot on the Ballycastle branch, the Swilly and the County Donegal as well. Try Abebooks?
