    John even old tickets can be useful. We keep the scarce ones but we have been selling 1 old ticket mounted in a small box for example to help raise funds for Drumboe So if you wish just post them to myself?

    Your father mentioned this to myself a few weeks ago So ordered a copy for 4£ including postage!

    Sorry missed that and now you have interested when you mention more Swilly photos! My 2nd railway in County Donegal. The Donegal Railway Heritage Centre is open again. We were offering a virtual Santa experience for the kids which you can access no matter where you live! Funds raised will go towards the Drumboe restoration work. Check it out!

    January issue out now has an article on Last Days of steam in NI. This was also theme of the excellent film show last night by Leslie of this parish for the IRRS London branch. Was just brilliant with a few teasing glimpses of the CDR. Thanks Leslie

    Thanks the CDR had a small number of former coaches converted into turf Van's. This was former passenger brake 26 converted in 1939. At a time of fuel shortages more coaches had been converted and a special turf siding installed at Strabane. Most of the turf came from the Glenties branch.

    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.

    Thanks but he has captured some great photos despite the hand luggage!

    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.

    Observing Social Distancing!

    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?
  19. airfixfan
    Yes spilled the Black Stuff over the photo celebrating some restrictions being lifted!
