Alternately, if not genuine - and it does look a bit “clean” - then someone’s been robbed! 1
Westcorkrailway Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 There is a good quality scan of this poster on the internet. Buyers beware! 2 1
minister_for_hardship Posted December 8, 2024 Posted December 8, 2024 If it looks too good to be true, it usually is. Fair amount of car boot sale grade rubbish in that same auction.
DERAILED Posted December 8, 2024 Author Posted December 8, 2024 It was definitely an item that needed close physical examination rather than relying on online photographs before bidding. Having just looked at the Didcot link https://didcotrailwaycentre.org.uk/article.php/421/tuesday-treasures-august-2020 I suspect the poster is some sort of repro.
Mol_PMB Posted February 26 Posted February 26 I suspect this is genuine and probably qualifies for this topic - but if so it's probably of dubiously legal provenance. Maybe a former BnM crossing? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286353207509

Maybe a former BnM crossing? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286353207509 Obsolete council road sign for a gated level crossing, could be from anywhere not necessarily BnaM, older ones were pressed metal rather than today's aluminium with reflective stuck-on vinyl. Scarce enough. Edited March 1 by minister_for_hardship 2

Anyone check if the Moyasta coaches still got their doors? 1
WRENNEIRE Posted March 22 Posted March 22 7 hours ago, minister_for_hardship said: By ropy you mean stolen? No, I reckon they are repo's, no wear on any of the screw holes and a terrible attempt at weathering on # 77 They had a very similar plate on a previous auction, cant remember how it sold
minister_for_hardship Posted March 23 Posted March 23 21 hours ago, WRENNEIRE said: I'd say they were never installed, if they were repro we would see the same number popping up again and again like the knock off wagonplate below. The weathering is usual filth from stores, where they were likely "acquired"
minister_for_hardship Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Ah the lesser spotted Wuhan, Detroit and Limerick Rly notice. 1 1
Westcorkrailway Posted March 27 Posted March 27 I remember once I picked up the passage sign in that shop. The lady came over and said “that’s cork and bandon railway” I said “ehh no it’s China, Burma and Pakistan railway” by the way guys I have these for swap or for sale on the next tailte tour

Flying Snail Posted June 23 Posted June 23 The WL&WR fire front (I"m presuming thats what it is) is a very nice piece!! 2

Westcorkrailway Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Ok Here is my collection of timetables and a bit of marketing material thrown in for good measure. I do have a good bit more then this…..i just can’t find it. But this is 99 percent of the timetables I’ve only got 2 GSR timetables as things stand Only 2 WTTs from that time too Annual reports of years and the IRRS all Ireland tour passenger timetables gotten from shows and members of this forum ( @leslie10646 and @DERAILED come to mind!) 2 1 1
jhb171achill Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Very nice collection indeed. I remember that 1967 diagrammatic one coming out. Even then I thought it was weird. Some of what you have are very rare beasts indeed, especially the Macroom one and the Parknasilla booklet.
derek Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Excellent. Wonder why the working timetables are stamped confidential in the second pic?
