  1. I'm sure l was speaking to Colm Flanagan today though he didn't identify himself
  2. And very good it was too
  3. Without any doubt, the highlight of my day was Fintonagh by David Holman.
  4. Thanks to Lambegman who notes the outing was Portadown return with visit to Omagh Market Branch and Cookstown branch.
  5. Not to be confused with the Joint IRRS SLS 1964 tour
  6. Is anyone familiar with the full itinerary for the IRRS Tour featuring UPs 42x, please
  7. I am writing a book on Omagh Station with deadline approaching fast. I have been given much support from our own JB who has edited and proofed much of the text, contributed work on rolling stock and the demise of the GNR. I also have had some excellent assistance from Eric Challoner and Lambeg Man, l am grateful of their help. ERNIE has provided his Omagh selection and it is appreciated. Many others have come forward and I hope my acknowledgments leave nobody out. I wanted to ask all board members if they have any information on Omagh, unpublished photos or simply anything I may not have to email me please, there may be something out there. With a publishing contract signed, the book is earmarked for release next year. tmcgartland@gmail.com Thanks

  13. What did the permanent way weed spraying crews use on the permanent way. I see from the wagon book drawings they had a 3000gallon tanker and an old carriage under frame carrying another tank with a capacity of 800 gall. So what were they using in each?
  14. Pictured during track relaying at Omagh - anyone know the wagon type in shot and also is the loco an LQG 0-6-0 though it appears to be marked D No.119 Can anyone shed light on it please?
  15. Interesting, David I apologise about the nature of the cropping but too many copyrighted photographs are being snatched off here for facebookers sites.
  16. Top stuff JB
  17. Can anyone shed any light on the wagon type seen here at Omagh in 1964 and the van parked behind the loco? Please

  22. Can anyone elaborate?
  23. Can anyone on the forum shed some light on the following signals. I'd like to know their names and what they signify in railway terms. Might be a daft request but it is much needed information - I will be grateful, thanks
