Loughan Quay

[Tullygrainey]

Another of the occasional visitors that turn up at Loughan Quay from time to time, this is UTA, ex-NCC, U2 4-4-0 No. 80 "Dunseverick Castle" rebuilt at some point in its career by CME Colm Flanagan. 

Last seen at Knockloughrim on the Derry Central line during a recent cold spell, it's not clear how it got here but we gave the crew a cup of tea, oiled the axle boxes while they were drinking it and sent them on their way.

Lovely ! Also shows importance of having a crew on a tender loco. You can get off without them on a tank loco or BR standard  because it’s so dark in there but less so with an open cab tender engine. Those two look very good
