GNRi1959

I’m looking for acrylic display cases that would protect some of my models during an exhibition. Something with a solid base that could hold a short section of track so l could place various locos and wagons- any ideas where is best?

Unfortunately, my membership expired last year and l didn't renew.

Thank you, have other locations. Omagh preferable

Thank you Galteemore. Two beautiful shots !

Hi guy, would anyone have a picture of GNR(I) PP Class No. 74 'Rostrevor' either photographed in Omagh or Enniskillen. It commanded the Omagh-Enniskillen run for nine years with Omagh crew Barney McGirr and fireman Peter Judge. I am always interested in unseen pictures of Omagh, as you would guess. Thank you

Hopefully, not the five year old who wrote this poorly constructed sentence!

Thank you for this. Yes, Mella was from Abbey Street, Omagh. Her surviving niece and family allowed me to photograph her medal and scan other personal railway momentos last year. She has been remembered in my book and recent talks on the tragedy.

The significance of No. 170 'Errigal' was the fact that on the last day of regular operations at Omagh several steam locos were put into service for the day. 170 pulled the last train of the day.

Jim, there were no designers involved!

As someone who has championed Irish railways most of my life I too was absolutely disgusted at the railway silhouette used at Omagh. I have to pass this everyday and it is embarrassing to say the least. Two individuals tried to keep this project to themselves and this is what happened. I'm doing my best to gently persuade council to think again!

Thank you so much for this 40 mile Post. It was very kind of you to take the time to do it. I was indeed able to open them, thanks.

Would anyone have a copy of the timetable covering Derry to Belfast train movement for the period Nov 1950. I would appreciate it if you could urgently, photograph the pages covering this route please. Thank you so much if you can help. Tony

Back in the mid 80s l got to know Tony and one of his assisting modelling pal David (can't remember his surname). I was building a model of Omagh back then and they were kind enough and copied detailed drawings of several steam locos they measured up before the built them. This was all pre-computer and was a lengthy letter writing exchange.

The last of the pictures........ you will see from close inspection signs of the manufacture process, cutting, glue residue ete. Genuine offers please. Postage will be considered later.

Silver Fox set of last working Derry Road train - more pictures will follow

I also have a U class and UG that haven't seen track yet

Well, I'm happy to sell as they are sitting in a cupboard and I have no layout and they need to be seen

I have a set of genuine Silver Fox railcar and carriages that made up the last train on the Derry Road. They were never run on a layout but were commissioned and never used. The railcar is non-powered so would need to be fitted with a powered bogie unit. All carriages are numbered and everything is detailed as per Silver Fox standard. They are MINT and BOXED. I will post pictures when l return home on Sunday but would be open to sensible offers. I am in Tyrone and can post. If interested PM please.

I haven't even looked at value/cost......

I have no interest really and without a layout, no way of running these.

No agents fee's, no DCC. I also have a Silverfox Models made reconstruction of the last Derry Road train Portadown to Derry (non-powered) that would make a great project for someone with the ability to fit powered bogies.

What would be a fair asking price for both a UG Class and U Class by OO Works. I bought these a couple of years after production was exhausted but they were able to build me what they described as the last one ever to leave the assembly line. So much so, that the UG was not lined, numbered or transferred. Simple black finish. Both are boxed as new and never been on a layout for more than a few hours running and returned to their boxes. I would certainly think consider a sensible offer for both of them, but not split.

Just thinking out loud here, last thing l want is an over expensive track laying experience. Peco may well be a better choice though l never liked their points.
