I got different paperback books from Key Publishing and they’re very informative. Also in the Hornby February issue, there’s a review of the Tara Mines Ore wagons. Quality review. Collected a copy of the new Baker book at the Severn Valley on Thursday. To say the least the selection of some poor photos and mistakes by the author makes it difficult to give a positive comment about the 60 years book. 2 Quote

David Holman Posted September 21, 2022 Posted September 21, 2022 This may appear elsewhere, but a report in Railway Magazine for September, p102, says the Found a line is to be repaid and rebuilt as part of the Irish Rail development plan for freight. 1 Quote

David Holman Posted September 22, 2022 Posted September 22, 2022 A pox on spellcheckers! Foynes also comes up as found, sounds, fitness and corners. Suspect it works by translating Cantonese into Serbo-Croat, via Martian and Klingon... 2 4 Quote

GSWR 90 Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 The Locomotive Magazine featured GSWR 90 (simply designated as “C” at the time) in its 16/5/1903 issue, complete with a photo of the loco in its original condition – this is the only photo of it like this that I’ve ever seen. I’m 99% sure it’s 90, as the carriage portion on this railmotor is very different than that on No 91, and even more different than that on No 92. The article reads: “Our first illustration needs little description, beyond the fact that the combination engine and carriage here shown was, until quite recently, running on the Gortatlea and Castleisland Railway of the GSWR of Ireland, whence within the last few years it has been transferred to the Fermoy and Mitchelstown branch of the same company. The engine is of small dimensions throughout, having cylinders only 10 in diameter with a stroke of 18 inches, 3 ft 6 in coupled wheels, a total heating surface of 362 sq ft, and a weight in roadworthy condition of 23t 7cwts. While in service in Kerry, the carriage on the engine frame was, curiously enough, not used for carrying passengers.” 9 Quote
