    Would say Foyle Road would make a compact layout as well.

    It is a very comprehensive and scarce book.

    There is also the book produced in the early 1970s by Transport Research Associates of G&SWR Coach Diagrams.

    John you mention the legendary Railcar A that was well ahead of it's time. Doing the Disused Stations article for Foyle Road to Strabane has made me realise the historic importance of Railcar A. This article is alomost ready and thanks to Ernie for supplying some great photos. My favourites are the Swilly and the County Donegal of course.

    After his grand tour reached Cork with some great photos our mystery man has now reached Portadown. Enjoy these photos and thanks again Ernie on behalf of IRM members.

    Exactly what worried me as well. Some little errors here and there. Good to hear those Negsxare in good hands especially as they feature my 2 favourite railways.

    What can you say? Mine arrived today and this gets a 5 Star rating for all aspects. Superb photos including many pre WW2 and as usual superb reproduction of vintage photos by Lightmoor Press. Essential for all lovers of Irish Railways not just fans of the Irish Narrow Gauge. Thanks Leslie and 5 out 5 for quality of packaging as well. Buy a copy and enjoy what will be a classic book!

    The only info I can find in this movement is in the Farewell to the Derry Road book. Cannot find anything in IRRS Journal and have no access to Irish Railfans News. Anyone help?

    There will be an article on the Spoil Trains in the January issue of Backtrack magazine due our December 9th.

    Thanks David. Phoned today and as usual they blamed Coid and the Royal Mail. Strange as Heritage Railway arrived on time and another magazine arrived 2 days early.
  21. airfixfan
    There is an article on UTA Festival coaches from 1951 in current issue. This is what I am told as despite the magazine being published a week ago my subscriber copy has yet to arrive. Has anyone else got the December issue of Backtrack to confirm that there is an article yet?

    Thanks John some errors from presenter who was told by myself that line opened in 1852. He wrote down 1862. Thanks to Ernie, Tony and others for photos used.
