  1. Posted in error can one of the Mods please delete? Thanks will relay your message to my friend in the morning
  2. Thanks guys someone else has contacted me by phone to say it is a Drovers fan. Lots of cattle would have been shipped from Greenore. My contact is doing an article on the DNGR and is looking for photos of Greenore station and Hotel in particularm
  3. Anyone know more about what this was and any relevant details?
  4. PRONI told me this morning that this event on this Thursday at 14.00 is almost fully booked. There are less than 30 places left so just register through the PRONI website asap if interested.
  5. Tend to agree with John on this one as the new Cavan and Leitrim book which did not impress me much got a good review. Yet the new Green bible got a bit of a roasting at times when it is crammed with useful detail such as where the records are of some key loco builders etc!
  6. Thanks for the warning Steve. Tried to order this last week but their website blocked my order as it thought Ni was an international order with about 7 Euro extra for postage! No order placed. Sounds like a Del Boy production!
  7. Basic drawing of a standard BCDR 4-4-2T loco
  8. Irish layout by Dave in current issue of Hornby Railway magazine.
  9. 595 was kept to run with the hauled BUT NIR coaches
  10. There is a feature on the new Hornby coaches in the latest issue of the Hornby Railway magazine.
  11. Number 4 would allow them to offer the LMS/BR type 2-6-4T in the future as well.
  12. The photo I posted in another thread on this forum of CC1 beside 800 came from that Steam World article from March 1992. Try magazine exchange website
  13. There are some rare photos of CC1 in Steam World article in March 1992 issue.
  14. And Ballyboley Junction! Thanks David
  15. During the latter years of WW2 the Lough Swilly due to severe coal shortages used turf and even wood as they could not get coal for their steam locos.
  16. From Australia!
  17. This diagram as a starter
  18. Do they not do a County Donegal bus?
  19. Thanks John was wondering who had his collection as he took some rare photos of the Donegal and the Swilly in particular.
  20. Good guess then! Have picked up a few nice photos of 27 at York Road in 1965 recently. Thanks whatever I do they seem to go on a tilt! Nice view of the rear of a Class 5 loco and this was the first to go in 1940. Looks well in black!
  21. Agree Adelaide and have a photo from 1932cof Class 5 Letterkenny looking great in Black livery below.
  22. David any more details on the colour photo of Lough Erne beside a blue engine?
  23. The County Donegal csrried oil in tank wagons from the port in Derry to the fishing boats at Killybegs in particular.
  24. According to Journall 11 DNGR Locos 2,3,4 and 6 were moved from Dundalk to Sutton on April 13 1952. As No 1 had went to Adelaide and No 5 was scrapped already then they are all accounted for.
