the station building is across the road, boarded up since the Glenaans Sailing Club left. I think what you have there is the loco shed. The large derelict building probably an old boat repair yard unconnected with the railway.

A blooper like that wouldn't have happened during Wally McGrath's time!

Going by the photo it looks like a Scandi noir drama.
-
Wall boxes and the smaller kind of postbox that straps to a telegraph pole are more common than pillar boxes outside of cities.
-
The house was sold recently.

Clon jct had a painted one or at least it looked that way to me, not the new one seen by the station site. The original is still around I believe. Creagh is around as well, in bad shape though.

Ones that got them; Albert Quay, Ballinhassig, Crossbarry, B'neen & E'keen, Bandon, Clon Jct, Skeaf, Creagh, Drimoleague, Dunmanway, Bantry.

I actually met the gentleman that owns the Liffey Junction GSR board once, he got it out of the canal where it had been dumped.

In reality, middle aged Boris sitting at his laptop in Vladivostok.

Haven't seen dogs, just loads of Thai girls who got interested in railways all of a sudden.

Have been roped into an admin role on one, god knows why, its unreal the numbers of bogus accounts and bots that spam fb groups.

Serving suspended sentences.

How was it that such a recently built loco was that knackered?

1. Late 60s possibly? 2. Two digit date, abbreviated 3 letter month, two digit year. 3. As above, a lot of preserved lines have them still. 4. Mix of railways printing their own or contracted out to printers. The GSR were known to have printed their own and the GSR, for a while at least, printed tickets for the CDRJC for their stations in the south to avoid customs duties.

Have two. I'm very trustworthy.

In fairness MM aren't an operation run by plug tobacco pipe smoking old fellows not au fait with the concept of online sales. Good way to lose custom.

In this day and age to advertise something as in stock and find out afterwards it isn't. Unacceptable.

Oh come on. Really?

DUBLIN, WICKLOW & WEXFORD RAILWAY LARGE SIGN
minister_for_hardship replied to DERAILED's topic in For Sale or Wanted
They sure saw him coming. -
Clunky awful looking and awful to use site. Heaps of items out of stock too. As this country's main hobby shop they should really up their game, all the more at this time.

I did nazi that coming.

You would have to sell Nazi memorabilia, cocaine, guns maybe a kidney to get thrown off ebay.

Youghal would have been like pushing an open door for rebuilding. Why are they getting interested in expanding all of a sudden after turning down that open goal?

Some CC1 related questions
minister_for_hardship replied to Hod Carrier's question in Questions & Answers
The two sets of reports of the accidental collision between CC1 and one of the early Sulzers confirmed that both locos were in fact stationary leading up to the moment of impact. -
Staffs, both large and miniature electric types and manual (one engine in steam) staffs were used widely in Ireland. NCC and Tralee and Dingle preferred tablets. Some GNR lines also had tablets. Cavan and Leitrim used Wise's Patent staffs. The Croom branch had an unusual divisible staff. There were also key token and ball token systems, neither of which used here as far as I know. Edit: NCC had some key token working it seems, the County Down was another tablet user.
