    The Waterford goods pulls into the loop at Grange. After the beet special leaves the goods will engage in some shunting while waiting for the Cork passenger train before proceeding to Waterford.

    A42 on a sugar beet train waits for the Waterford goods at Grange. My locomotive fleet really needs weathering however while I have no problem mucking up anything I have painted myself I have a mortal fear of touching anything else.

    C226 on a goods at Glen More and on a representation of a Loughrea mixed train on the South Waterford Line. The locomotive is a Silver Fox model. The coach is from Irish Freight Models.

    Sad news. I always got great service from them and their postage rates to the US were unbeatable.

    I appreciate everyone who is trying to sort this issue out. I am extremely bad at tech issues and the best I can offer is that I'm using a Samsung android phone to record and post the videos. Maybe there is something I can do at this end to help.

    A42 shunts Kielys cross beet siding as the sun starts to set on Christmas eve 1965. The train will continue to Youghal where it will pick up more loads before continuing on to Cork, arriving hopefully before closing time! Wishing all forum members and their loved ones a happy Christmas.

    The latest addition to the fleet is this Provincial Wagons GN brake van. After the dissolution of the GN in 1958 CIE acquired several of these vans. They didn't last long on CIE however I recall seeing one arrive in Tralee on an afternoon goods about 1966. I plan to run it occasionally during mid sixties operating sessions on the South Waterford Line. Does anyone know if any of these vans were repainted by CIE or if they retained their GN lettering till the end?

    It seems that there was no shortage of auto traffic on the Midland in the mid sixties.

    CIE also built flat wagons using the triangulated underframe . Provincial Wagons did a kit.

    A steam heating van maybe?

    I don't know if some were built with the heavier buffers or later upgraded but both types were in service together into the seventies.

    The beet campaign is in full swing on the South Waterford Line and A55 leads a train of empty wagons to Glenn More for loading on a cold October morning in 1967. 20231029_113505.mp4

    Just wondering if a 30T brake van is in the pipeline.

    Aren't these announcements generally made at the Dublon show?

    I received my copy this past week and am very pleased with it. I wouldn't normally spend so much on a book but having grown up in Tralee in the sixties and seventies and having explored what remained of the route over the years I felt I needed to own a copy. The book is of very high quality an is the last word on the line. At 325 pages, that's eight and a half pages per mile which must make it one of the most comprehensive book on any railway in existence!
