    jhb has had his Weetibix this morning.

    You meant CB&SCR, so top marks. The original whistles annoyed residents so much that they got replaced by regular ones.

    1. What system was re-gauged TWICE. Started life as 3', regauged to 3'6'' and regauged again to 5'3''? 2. Where could you have once found US-built steam locos with chime whistles in operation in this country?

    here's another few Deutz's around Europe... http://www.rail-pictures.com/1024/the-shunter-locomotive-1024-pictured-10782.jpg http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2368/5803438321_90b5febf13_o.jpg presume locos all produced around the same era had identical or similar components or at least a 'family' resemblance.

    That neck of the woods, but not Kilmeadan.

    Where could you have once found a railway owned toll bridge?
  8. minister_for_hardship
    Weedspray train was what I was looking for.
  9. minister_for_hardship
    What non-heritage train currently operated by IE carries headboards?
  10. minister_for_hardship
    Hand generator!
  11. minister_for_hardship
    There's a wind-up thingy for operating remote points...Charleville? Edit: Or Albert qy more likely, timber interior?
  12. minister_for_hardship
    Killaloe?
  13. minister_for_hardship
    Any clue at all? Presume it's part of a walkway now, clad in unweathered stone and surrounded with modern Health & Safety barriers?
  14. minister_for_hardship
    Is it a blocked up passage thru an embankment? Bit of a squeeze for 186.
  15. minister_for_hardship
    Correct.
  16. minister_for_hardship
    No, the L&B would have to have doors on both sides. Clues within the question would be; it would have had platforms all on the one side and that the original stock became time-expired and it received conventional 2-sided stock at some point.
  17. minister_for_hardship
    What railway's original coaching stock had doors on one side only?
  18. minister_for_hardship
    Would have been a handy way to get a new loco or stock from a ship on the quays to Western Rd, don't know if was ever done though. The tramway/Muskerry rails were quite close, but not connected near the gates of UCC.
  19. minister_for_hardship
    Yes so that (in theory) 3' stock of the Muskerry and Passage could run on C.E.T.& L. Co. tramway rail. No-one had mm's back then, except those French cheese eaters.
  20. minister_for_hardship
    While we're waiting for that, what system used the odd gauge of 2 ft 11 and a half inches?
  21. minister_for_hardship
    Pure guess....Great Southern Railway (in the singular)? 12th Nov '24 to 1st Jan '25. Haven't got the foggiest on the signal one, signalling isn't my strong suit.
  22. minister_for_hardship
    Spot on.
  23. minister_for_hardship
    I'll put everyone out of their misery, answer is Athenry, had all patterns from A - F at one time. One for the road, what was the longest lived Irish railway company?
  24. minister_for_hardship
    Maybe worth a punt, having said that...if one were to buy the whole series twould cost around 1300 quid! Who manufactured the coach/track? Was there some sort of a Jinty on the tv ad?
  25. minister_for_hardship
    Fishguard & Rosslare Railways & Harbours?
