I love the photo of Kilmessan station, nowadays it is a (quite nice) hotel and restaurant (The Station House) which is housed largely in the station building, the signal cabin is still extant and is used (as far as I remember as a bedroom, the goods shed is also still there. They have some black and white photos of the station on display but this is the first colour photo that I have seen. Thank you Ernie for posting this.

I've been down to Oxford for a few days this week, officially to see my son & family at Didcot but spending much of the time at Kinsey Yard south of Oxford to video the huge numbers of container and stone trains which pass through daily. I also brought back about 400 negatives etc mainly covering the ex CBSC, SLNCR & CDRJC in the fifties but also some glass negatives from 1929 - 1937 of lines in the West (Clifden) Killarney SLNC & Fintona. I havn't sorted out others but there are more pre-war CBSC, D&BST , ex D&SER in the heap.

Meanwhile todays offerings are:

UTA319 1964-05-12  Londonderry Foyle Rd Goods sta. 35 shunts vans off 11.17 arrival from GVS.
