The current D&CDR station was a gasworks manager's house.
-
Could have been...but the one I have in mind you would have passed through...quite often...
-
Spot on, Cahir was a hunting lodge in a former life.
-
Name two railway station buildings (i.e. booking offices/stationhouses) that didn't start life as railway stations?
-
Think that was built by Budd, might be on to something. The W&LR had the first bogie coaches in these islands, described as 'American style', don't know if they were American built though. Doubt it.
-
Hence the inverted commas.
-
That Riverstown 'preservation' effort up in Louth?

Lough Swilly Cork Blackrock & Passage Finn Valley

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?
-
Weedspray train was what I was looking for.
-
What non-heritage train currently operated by IE carries headboards?
-
Hand generator!
-
There's a wind-up thingy for operating remote points...Charleville? Edit: Or Albert qy more likely, timber interior?
-
Killaloe?
-
Any clue at all? Presume it's part of a walkway now, clad in unweathered stone and surrounded with modern Health & Safety barriers?
-
Is it a blocked up passage thru an embankment? Bit of a squeeze for 186.
-
Correct.
-
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.
-
What railway's original coaching stock had doors on one side only?
-
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.
