    Following up on Railcar 12 and well spotted by Andy. Have been distracted by future of Railcar 18 today.

    Photo 3 shows NCC coach 353 at Ballymoney. This coach ended up at Ballycastle along with NCC 350. When the other 3 coaches sold to the CDR in 1951/2 they were not sold due apparently to the cost of moving them to Ballymoney where the 3 coaches sold were located. Photo 4 Strabane and agree with date as I have many photos of same location from about 1948

    Went to see line today and was surprised to see Railcar 18 arrive in station on it's own. Shunter was noted in shed out of order with engine problems. Service operated with Railcar in reverse from non cab end first and then cab first on return towards Fintown. Line was quiet during our visit.

    Photo of CDR Red Van 19 at Foyle Road os from about 1989. Have some similar colour photos when the Foyle Valley Museum was being prepared for official.opening in May 1989. Used some in my article on the CDR 1960 to 1989 for current issue of Narrow Gauge Steam 3 by Kelsey Publishing

    Thanks they do look very similar from when I was there regularly in the early 1980s! Did you get Narrow Gauge Steam 3 yet?

    Miniature railway looks like the Ravenglass Line. Was at the RHDR line 10 days ago and still an unique experience today.

    Loco appears to be an LNWR Coal Tank

    The CSR lasted until 1960 and tried to run a railway until the end. Unlike the Lough Swillya lot of former CDR rolling stock survived more by accident than design. Have written an article on the CDR from 1960 to 1989 in Narrow Gauge Steam 3 by Kelsey Publishing just out this month.

    Agree with David that the Swilly was an incredible railway. That model loco is at the High Legh Minarture Railway in Cheshire. Loco is 7 and a quarter inch and photos do not do it justice!

    Must be worth 10 pound in Northern Bank notes at least for a job lot?
  14. airfixfan
    Simular to this model.of a North London Railway tank loco?
  15. airfixfan
    The real thing at the NRM today
  16. airfixfan

    Seen one in Derry for sale with a similar sign for the Lough Swilly Railway Company!
  18. airfixfan
    My thoughts exactly!

    Well Colin at least we have a 7 and a quarter inch live steam model just built after 20 years in Cheshire. Some machine!

    Was in Wales on some Narrow Gauge yesterday Photo is a out Gweedore as I have a similar photo in my own collection showing that ballast siding

    They have also released a map for Fermanagh. They plan more Irish Maps soon responding to questions raised by myself The Enniskillen Map contains much Railway interest

    From Narrow Gauge Steam 3 by Kelsey Publishing. One of two CDR articles with some rare photos used.
  23. airfixfan
    Was checking yesterday and we do have some drawings of both these CDR Railcars in the CDR Diagram Book from the 1930s.
  24. airfixfan
    Private yes as some are for a future book I am working on for next year

    LPHC officially closed by end of August 1962. Little used after 1959 and was sent some photos of LPHC last week from 1960. All LPHC lines were mixed Gauge track up to the LPHC boundary posts. Have many photos of LPHC lines alongside Foyle on the East bank of the river.
