    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?
  6. minister_for_hardship
    Weedspray train was what I was looking for.
  7. minister_for_hardship
    What non-heritage train currently operated by IE carries headboards?
  8. minister_for_hardship
    Hand generator!
  9. minister_for_hardship
    There's a wind-up thingy for operating remote points...Charleville? Edit: Or Albert qy more likely, timber interior?
  10. minister_for_hardship
    Killaloe?
  11. 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?
  12. minister_for_hardship
    Is it a blocked up passage thru an embankment? Bit of a squeeze for 186.
  13. minister_for_hardship
    Correct.
  14. 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.
  15. minister_for_hardship
    What railway's original coaching stock had doors on one side only?
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. minister_for_hardship
    While we're waiting for that, what system used the odd gauge of 2 ft 11 and a half inches?
  19. 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.
  20. minister_for_hardship
    Spot on.
  21. 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?
  22. 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?
  23. minister_for_hardship
    Fishguard & Rosslare Railways & Harbours?
  24. minister_for_hardship
    Spot on. Includes a scroll with 'Bothar Iarainn Traighli agus an Daingean' (sp.?) on it. It was carried on some locos on cab side sheets, but not on the coaches as its modern day reincarnation. Now for Q2.
  25. minister_for_hardship
    Full marks and a bonus biccie for that man, anyone care to have a punt at 2. and the coat of arms that I had in mind in 1.?
