PS if you can guess that one correctly, this one is a bit harder but should still be possible to work out if you look closely. I was a bit older by now:

The old railcar was going nowhere but I couldn’t resist sitting in it. 
It was built for the same railway as the steam loco that the toddler me was standing on in the other photo.

Just back from a stressful long weekend with elderly parents. There is no let up.

One tiny ray of sunshine was finding some old family photos, including this one:

Who's going to be the first to identify where this was?

Never saw a colour pic inside one of those.  Standard CIE bus upholstery in plastic "mock-leather", of the time. Some had a lighter brown shade, and others a grey-ish blue colour. The Loughrea coach, 1904, had the lighter brown shade. On the day I travelled on that line, somebody had added, in black biro, written right across one of the seats, 

"FAREWELL TO THE DUNSANDLE EXPRESS"!

(Which is the title of my forthcoming book....)
