IRM wagons

[jhb171achill]

Corrugateds and flats now ordered.

There's going to have to be a car dealer somewhere near Dugort Harbour which will keep the flats busy with incoming Ford Populars all the way from Caark, boy.

Interesting point; as referred to before, and also in connection with the NCC's two second hand "jintys"*, it is seeming clearer and clearer that a wagon (or loco or presumably coach) does not at all have to be "mainstream" to warrant production. Thus, the idea that "you'd never sell those" takes a big hit in many an example.

Mainstream items sorely missing now are timber-bodied bogies - many of which were very long lived into the 1970s - and tin vans and AEC railcars.

I'm saving up.

If the SLNCR could carry cars - and did - I’m sure Dugort will find a way….

Oh, it will. It's also sending out sugar beet now! And I've a pile of Provincial McAllister cattle wagons awaiting construction when "real life" allows a bit of time....

It might be saved from closure yet so, Todd Andrews will hardly close it now seeing how much revenue the line will be generating!

Its "alternative history" has it surviving to the 1975 closures, probably due to brown envelopes, Healy Raes and cute Kerry wizardry............!

Is it a greenway in 2023?

If it was in West Cork, I'd say maybe ... but since it's in Healy Rae country I reckon it's most likely the Dugort - Castletown dual carraigeway!!

Built by a certain be-capped person's very own JCBs!
