  1. Agree 100% on that one. Have seen a similar photo in a history of Derby Works. The Jeeps were also built at Derby and shipped from Heysham in parts as well.
  2. Last BCDR photo looks like No 6 from the 1930s at Ballynahinch. Keep me posted about the CDR as always!
  3. The worst thing about the Giants Causeway Railway is that tin tram contraption that scares passengers away. Introduced by Dodgy Del the owner because it was cheaper that the steam locos that were flogged out in the last few years under the "new management!"
  4. The C and L locos were similar in that way to the last years of the three CDR Class 5 tanks which meant that each if the last e had some minor differences and features compared with their sisters. Parts from Blanhe and Foyle are still to found on the surviving locos today!
  5. Lovely CDR photo with Ballyshannon branch to the right on the outskirts of Donegal Town
  6. Have been building up an extensive photo archive on the Swilly since last summer!
  7. Love the new Skidmark brand for careless Modellers!
  8. In terms of the Narrow Gauge have now collected many photos of both the Lough Swilly and the County Donegal. In terms of the CDR using some unpublished colour photos of wagons and Van's for an article at present
  9. Yes they have a few photos from your collection identified and a few that appear to be from you via a different source!
  10. Supplied some photos and info for both the Swilly and the DNGR. Also oddly enough the first of a 2 part article on the DNGR in current issue of Railway Bylines with the usual minor errors in article/photos They have a 30 minute episode in the can on the Giants Causeway and "steam railway" today!
  11. This often happens in newspaper articles with old photos and incorrect dates etc!
  12. Some nice photos of the only Irish locos built at Crewe in current issue of Railway Bylines First of a 2 part article on the DNGR.
  13. Colin which of the two different versions of the Hudswell Clarke 4-6-2T locos. Either 15/16 or 7/8? My money would be on No 15. The last Swilly loco to be scrapped in 1954. ;
  14. See this photo from this article
  15. The last of the P Van's were painted NIR maroon but they never appeared to be cleaned so they looked different as John says.
  16. The embankment behind the loco was the original main line used before Bleach Green line opened in 1934
  17. Looks like the Mogul.is approaching for Belfast downhill near Monkstown at speed.
  18. Latest issue has an article on the last years of the Cavan and Leitrimí
  19. Thanks for the link Jim

  22. Have a colour photo of a van body built to an old Midland diagram by the LNER during WW2 for the NCC
  23. My main areas of interest are the Irish NG lines especially the County Donegal and the Lough Swilly.
  24. See colour photo below and have some B/W photos as well
  25. Interesting choice and correct only one book published about NG rolling stock only. Even less on most of the Irish BG companies as well
