    Looks like 291 and 293 ex BCDR 120/1 built as late as 1938 but gone by 1964.

    Love the latest batch of photos of Strabane and Foyle Road in particular. Thanks Ernie for all your good work. IRM members enjoy!

    If that model turns up we will be delighted to put it on public display in the Donegal Railway Heritage Centre beside the model of the CDR by George Hanan.

    Looks superb. The last Chairman and former owner of the Swilly died a few weeks ago. The model may yet re-appear?

    Question for Leslie. Did Lance take any photos from Strabane to Foyle Road and thev intermeddiate stations in particular?
  7. airfixfan
    Can you post a picture of the model please?

    The Railway Museum in Derry has been closed under the new management for the last 2 years. Victoria Road features in Railway Archive Issue number 2 All feedback on article in Disused Stations welcomed.

    Will chase that up. The George Hanan model of Donegal Town is on display in the Donegal Railway Heritage Centre. Recently the Hanan family donated his historic collection of CDR paintings to the Centre.

    Well was working on that station today for the Disused Stations website. However if there is anyone on IRM with photos of Carrigans Porthall and St Johnston stations post your photos and/or send me a PM please?

    Do you know who has the copyright to the Keith Bannistervphotos?
  14. airfixfan
    This station would make a great layout just look at the track plans. Indeed across the river Foyle Road was even more compact again.
  15. airfixfan
    Yes indeed can you email them to myself?
  16. airfixfan
    Who was the photographer? Did he take many of the CDR? Thanks for all your efforts.
  17. airfixfan
    Just never seen a photo before where the UTA logo was where the GNR number had been?
  18. airfixfan
    See this photo from 1959 showing a BUT Railcar at Foyle Road station. Note the UTA logo. How common was this?

    Drumboe

    airfixfan replied to airfixfan's topic in General Chat

    With the imposition of lockdown the Donegal Railway Heritage Centre has been forced to close to the public until October 16th. However the online shop etc will remain open to raise funds towards the restoration of Drumboe and work has now started at RPSI Whitehead.

    David what do you know about the CDR Class 5 tank proposed by Ragstone Models?
  21. airfixfan
    The guy that owns Steam Dreams has in his own 5 foot gauge steam loco from Finland in his garden. His wife is Finnish!

    You will be lucky if you get what you want from PRONI. Since early August phone calls and emails etc have failed to even hook one of those limited visitor slots Let alone even get any accurate mentions in the catalogue for just 1 large photo collection.!
  23. airfixfan
    You can book online to visit PRONI for one day per week. After weeks of effort found it easier to see my doctor than visit PRONI once in the 6 weeks it has been open again. A friend of mine was there on Friday, there were 5 visitors in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. Security staff stated 12 are allowed each day but usually only 50% turn up.on average.

    Looking through books etc the converted P Van's appear to be very camera shy!
  25. airfixfan
    Sorry my mistake the P Van's were 618 and 619. Both out of use by 1979/1980,and 618 went to the RPSI and the frame of 619 to Downpatrick.
