Broithe Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 A Shackleton and Irish railways - what more could you want...? It used to be said that all applicants for the RAF Police were rigorously tested - and only those that failed were accepted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslie10646 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 found this little shop called 'Buffer Books' which deals in second hand and of print railway books , and they have a section dedicated to irish railways. might be of use to someone out there! heres the link http://www.bufferbooks.com Well done Seamus with the link. Some of the prices are good, others a bit steep. Some of you guys will know that I fundraise for the RPSI here in England (only 40 years so far). Mainly through selling books - we have over a thousand titles, I think. We are the John Lewis of railway bookselling - few people are more reasonable. They include everything in print on Ireland and a lot of out of print titles. e-mail me with your wants and we'll see what we can do. All monies raised go to the 171 Appeal - about five grand (sterling) to date from us. I'm at lesliemcallister@aol.com Thanks for reading this!
