    Doing some research on the station for an article. Have loads of photos and information on post WW2 period. However cannot find any photos or maps pre 1905. Even the online maps for both NI and ROI are blank for the area where the railway station is! Any suggestions or help?

    Smithborough?

    More colour photos of the C &L in the new bookazine Narrow Gauge Steam

    Always good to see the County Donegal especially anything from the 1940s.

    Ok but happy to see more Swilly photos. Wonder where his CDR photos went? Any NCC Narrow Gauge?

    Unusual to see the UTA renumber an ex GNR lico but not repaint 58. Great photo is there any County Donegal in those remnants?

    Just a pity that the Western Library services with their HQ in Omagh could not find the money to keep the model of Omagh station in Omagh.

    Great to see more Swilly such a unique railway. Loved to buy their Pacific tanks in pairs but each pair was different from the other!

    It is a GS&WR 0-4-4T locomotive.

    You do not see many photos of Crolly station. More please of the Swilly?

    The Swilly always had a brake coach on each goods train. They were very helpful to enthusiasts in the last years. Seen photos from English visitors in 1952 so maybe same party?

    Just got a copy of this bookazine this morning in the post. Articles on the Cavan and Leitrim and NG railcars. Great colour photos of the Donegal, West Clare and the C&L. Published by Kelsey Publishing.

    You can buy a 2and hand copy of that magazine. Try Vintage Carriages Trust for reliable service but do not try Magazine Exchange from personal experience.

    Good photo around 1945 as the station was rationalised and most buildings such as signal cabin removed after 1945/6.

    Still did last year will be up that way next month as we emerge from the dark ages!

    Thanks for the update the station building is still there hidden by undergrowth behind the bus garage.

    Probably coaches 350 and 353 as they were the spare coaches and ended up in Ballycastle after closure. The other 3 coaches were sold in 1952 to the CDR as they were in Ballymoney after closure. Could the photo be just after closure?
  19. airfixfan
    Picture of 41 in Saga by Rail Ireland showing it at Ballymoney in March 1950 and Boyd states it was freshly painted. So late 1940s sounds correct JHB.
  20. airfixfan
    Remember reading in an article that when the Ballycastle line closed the 3 regular coaches ended up in Ballymoney This meant when the CDR bought them at auction they were easily transferred to Vixtoria Road. However the other 2 ex B&L coaches ended up in Ballycastle. The UTA wanted more money to.move them to Ballymoney so the price was higher than their scrap value. Result the CDR only bought 3 coaches not 5!

    There is a very good article on the Jeeps with good photos from about 1950 and comparisons with the Fowler tanks in Railway Bylines May 2005.

    There are least two 3 Foot gauge steam locos restored and available to my knowledge.
  23. airfixfan
    Thanks have that book and tracked down and got a copy of the magazine article on the Turf Burner I was looking for. Has some very good photos and details of CC1.

    What an ugly building!
  25. airfixfan
    Yes but the window stickers for Didcot and Oxford at Connolly did confuse a few normals!
