  3. To be fair John Castlederg was only a Tramway that was closed by the major railway strike of early 1933 Good article and photos of this Tramway in Narrow Gauge Steam 2 bookazine that is just out.
  4. Correct serous talks held in 1941 in this issue. Two things stopoedcit such as the topography of the line as the GNR route was flat and level unlike the NG line Secondly by the time it was on the table it was 1942 and the tide in WW2 had started to slowly turn
  5. Recently acquired about 80 Swilly and CDR photos and this is just one of them.
  6. Photo of Barclay No 2 from 1932 leads me to agree with you Ernie
