Lambeg man Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Just out from Totem Publishing (The Transport Treasury) is a new book complied by two esteemed Irish authors, Charles Friel and Michael McMahon, entitled "RAILS AROUND IRELAND". This book is a collection of 83 black & white photographs that range from circa 1914 up to the early 1960's, none of which I have seen published before. The format is a journey from Dun Laoghaire clockwise around Ireland finishing at Larne Harbour. The captions are lengthy and very informative. From the modeler's point of view is the value that this is not a book with the usual parade of locomotive portraits, but of Irish railway SCENES. To comment on any one image would take too long. Buy it now and see for yourself. GNR, GSWR, GSR, MGWR, SLNCR, CDRJC, NCC, they are ALL there! At £13.50, the price of three coffees, it is highly recommended. Buy a copy now before stocks are exhausted. Available from the publishers or through the RPSI book sales team 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airfixfan Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 There are some very interesting photos and the majority of them are unpublished as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galteemore Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Excellent. Bit of a golden age for photographs now. Bought three SLNC images from two collections this week - both delivered very quickly via email and instantly available to zoom in on for detail. Big thanks to those who do this work / take a bow on their behalf @Irishswissernie! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
